Interdimensional travel instructions

The Carpenter's Instructions for Inter-dimensional Travel:

First gather the following supplies:
5 Candles
1 Incendiary Device.
1 Gallon Water
1 Set Comfortable Black Clothing (Robes Preferable)
1 Large Ceremonial Knife
1 Dose Hallucinogen (Optional)

Take your supplies and travel to a totally isolated location. Natural settings are ideal. For best results, set out three days before the full moon.

Find a comfortable spot to sit, and draw a large circle around it in the sand or dirt. If this is impossible, you may use stones.

Put on your black robes.

Space the five candles evenly around the circle. Use your incendiary device to light them. If the candles blow out, do not attempt to re-ignite.

Sit comfortably in the middle of the circle. You should have you water and your knife within reach. If you wish, you may take your hallucinogen at this time.

Relax.

Focus on your breath.

If you wish you may close your eyes.

Focus only on your breath.

Continue this process for at least 72 hours. When you become uncomfortably thirsty, you may drink some of your water. Drink no more than 1 cup at a time. If you have to urinate, it is best to stay where you are, but if you must get up, do not leave the inside of the circle under any circumstances. If you do leave the circle, it is best to start the process anew.

On the third night, when the moon is at its peak, take the knife in your hand and speak the following incantation, loudly and clearly:

AHA NAKU MENO DA
ROHO ANKA AHA NAKU
SHAMAD WASA AHA NAKU
AHA NAKU MENO DA

Use the knife to make an incision in your hand or wrist. Let the blood spill to the ground before you as you speak the following incantation:

AHA NAKU MENO DA
SHIMA RASO SENO MOSA
ROHO SHIMA SENO MOSA
AHA NAKU MENO DA

Thrust the knife into the ground before you and speak the following incantation:

AHA NAKU MENO DA
DANSA KILA DAMA SAWA
SANWA SONA KONTU SALBA
TOPA MANTU SAWA KANA
MINTU DAMA SAMPA ROHO
AHA NAKU MENO DA

At this point you will see a doorway of light beginning to open in front of you. You may also notice various dark shapes moving around your periphery. DO NOT LOOK AT THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Do not let the tone of your incantation falter in any way. This is the most critical moment. STRAYING FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ANY WAY MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY OR DEATH.

As the doorway opens, continue to repeat the final incantation as you drift through the doorway to the other side. KEEP YOUR VISIT BRIEF. Have a quick look around, and then attempt to rouse yourself as you would do while having an unwanted dream. After that you should find yourself sitting in the same position in your circle. Take another hour or so to meditate, then you may gather your items and leave.

For easier future entries, keep your circle intact and revisit.
