natural-magics:

If you want to keep something close, bury it in your back yard. 
If you want to attract something, bury it under the front door step 
If you want to destroy its influence, burn it. 
If you want it to move away and sink, throw it in running water 
If you want to disperse it to a distance, throw it into a crossroads 
If you want to fix its influence, inter it in a five-spot pattern 
If you want it to work by means of spirits, bury it in a graveyard 
If you want to hide its point of origin, conceal it in a tree 
If you want it to work in secret, give it in food or drink 
If you want it to work by stealth, hide it in clothing or on objects 
If you want its influence to begin or strengthen, throw it East 
If you want its influence to end or weaken, throw it West 
If you want its influence to rise and fall cyclicly, float it in a tidal estuary

Think of and visualize the item you wish to find.

Keeper of what disappears,
Hear me now - open your ears.
