Answer by J.P.
There are any number of standard rituals, and countless individual ones.
Something suited to your own nature will help you most. For example, I find myself strongly associated, metaphorically of course, with the destructive aspects of fire. As such, fire figures prominently into my rituals.
Since you are uniquely qualified to describe the symbols relevant to your ritual understanding, perhaps instead of asking us, you should ask yourself.

I like to go off into the woods by myself and meditate. Some people recommend fasting — but whatever you do, do not forget to drink water! Fasting without drinking water is dangerous — you can go a lot longer without food than you can without water. Also, purify yourself with sage, and bring some kind of offering for the Ancestors, such as tobacco. If you know how to do a banishing ritual, do so in the beginning and at the end. Otherwise, burn sage.
I can’t think of a more intense way to really get to know who you are than sitting alone in the dark in the woods. Good luck.
