Greetings, all! I haven't been here in a while. My apologies: I've been extremely busy.

Ok, so there is someone that I need to get in touch with. I have not seen this person in four years. I cannot go through the "mundane" route because a) I have no idea who or where his relatives are (I only knew of his mother), b) he moved out of state and did not provide me with contact information (I left him my phone number, I have gone through several phone numbers myself).  Using a private investigator is both risky and expensive.  A year ago, I befriended an Egyptian priest who suggested I ask the angels for guidance, which I think is a wonderful idea. Problem is, I am still learning the ropes so to speak, so I won't feel comfortable attempting a ritual or spell of some sort for a few months.

So, my question is, how would I go about setting up this sort of thing? I am not asking for a spell. I'm referring to what moon phases would be ideal, and the like. I understand that these are not set in stone, but would have a better chance. I would THINK from the New moon to Full would be ideal for this sort of work.

If you are confused or need more information, please feel free to ask! Thanks!

You'd be surprised what a Google search can turn up.  I've also had some luck with [url=http://www.whitepages.com/people_business] . What seems to work best for me in such circumstances is to focus my intent and, for lack of a better term, churn the ethers and do whatever I can, all the while listening to my intuition and dreams.  New moon to full does seem to be the best time for such an undertaking.  If you're unfamiliar with spells, leave them alone; you can get either very unexpected results, or expected results with some really bizarre side effects.  
I hope this helps.
Blessings.
Monk

Thanks. I've tried White Pages a few years ago. I actually called someone with the same name, but it wasn't the person. I think I'll try what you do, and see if anything comes out of it.
