The following is the text of a crossroads ritual from Harry M Hyatt’s 5 volume collection of Hoodoo Conjuration Witchcraft Rootwork


This was titled by Hyatt as Directional Star

If they had an idea of traveling , like if they wanted tub go north or wanted tuh go to California or Oklahoma – well , they haven ‘t got the money to go with . So they goes , walk out tuh the forks of the road an ‘turn dere face eastwards and would pray for the Lord to give ‘them that directional star in their mind that they might be able to get a hold of the luck that would – even if they didn’t have the money , that would give them that trip . An’ ah’ve had them to say that why they shortly after doing that, why they would meet up with some rich person who would wish for them to go as a chauffeur or as a cook or as a maid to such a place , to such a state. And they would go with that person to that state , make a trip jest by going to de cross of the road – dem forks of the road an’ looking eastward and making that prayer while they were standing there looking eastward ,for that luck . [ St . Petersburg , Fla . , (988) , 159 4:2. ]

My summary:
Go to the crossroads and face east. Make a prayer to the Lord to give them that directional star so they could make the journey to where they wanted to go. They would pray for the directional star in their mind that they could get a hold the luck to get that trip.
Afterwards an opportunity would present itself where they would be able to make that journey.
