Make sure your magical desire is clear in your mind, seen by only you and unseen by all others. With your goal clearly in mind, take twelve holly sprigs and separate them into bunches of three.

Garnish the bundles with the remaining holly sprigs and keep them covered and close to your sleeping place.
