No special class of persons is set apart for their performance. No special places are set apart for the performance. Desired objects are attained not by propitiating the favor of divine through sacrifice prayer and praise, but by ceremonies of resemblance between rite and effect.

Utterly ridiculous that there are like five different canonical groundhogs. Either there should be one, housed in a temple of graven idols in Washington DC and propitiated with sacred offerings, or you should just have to go out into the woods and find your own.
