Pleasure to be of service. If you should decide to try either method, I'd appreciate it if you posted what you did and the results. Just curious more than anything. Best of luck to you!

Could try a Vodou style ritual. What you could do is to create a small space in your home where the Lwa or Orisha can be made to "feel comfortable". An alter of sorts. Then continually make appropriate offerings to the alter and pray or chant (focus energy) before it as you see fit. Consistence is key and I also find it best to treat the Lwa or Orisha as you would any other guest in your home.
The one I would suggest is a Lwa named Manman Brijit (Mother Bridgit). She is know for ensuring just judges and favorable outcomes to court cases for faithful Oungan's, Manbo, and Boko (priests, priestesses, and magicians).
She is said to appreciate offerings of stones from cemeteries placed in piles, nettles, cotton, flowers, black and violet candles, wood of ash, peanuts, wheat, flower, cornmeal, and raw rum.
She is known as the Mother of the Dead and she is the wife of Bawon Samdi. "As death is the final judgment, so is Manman Brijit considered to be the supreme judge and lawyer" - Sally Ann Glassman
I find Vodou Lwa and Orisha to be rather effective, I think due to the fact that they are still actively worshiped and fiercely believed in.

Can't find a god or spirit for what you need? Make your own. Try an Egregor. They can be rather powerful servants if created properly and can usually manage things without to much interference from the Magician after it is created.
They tend to take on a life of their own, based on the creator's directions and intentions. This can, of course, have some dangerous implications. It's the old, be careful what you wish for, you may just get it. They take commands very literally and don't think or concern themselves with what you meant when you gave a command. If created carefully, though, they can do whatever you may need.

TGW Member Philip Horvath has made a video that is a brief introduction to a four-fold model of intimacy and relating that he presented at a c3 event called “Return to the Source - The Art of Conscious Loving“. He has been working on this particular model for the last few months as he believes we are in a time where we redefine how we relate with each other, where traditional group labels and relationship patterns are dissolving. "I think it is crucial to have some foundational agreements around language we use to communicate about our relating." He states. "This model is a beginning on this journey."

Philip does a great job at using the four-fold nature of all things to provide guidelines we can use to improve our relationships.

At the very end Philip discusses a model for relationship for those of us who live in a Magick world. I think it has a lot of merit and I would love to discuss it.
