_________________________
1) Center and release
2) Ritual Bath - salt and sage into the water.
3) center and release again (be sure to remove any excess
negative energy from your day)
With your athame, Cast a circle with yourself and all of
your supplies inside it.
Cleanse your mind and picture the energy of the universe
and nature mixed with your energy. Imagine yourself
glowing purple or orange, whatever works for you. While
facing North point your athame, wand, finger, or whatever
you use towards the ground and see the energy flowing out.
Begin to walk clockwise (right) around the circumference
of the circle. Imagine a sphere forming with you inside
it, half below the ground and half above.
Light the candle and incense. For the ritual itself, you
may stand or kneel; whatever you feel comfortable doing.
Make sure that when you are going to the quarters, you
take your time and feel the elements’ presence where you
are.
I call upon Earth, the power to make.
I call upon Air, the power to take.
I call upon Fire, the power to grow.
I call upon Water, the power to flow.
(Circling deosil, chant)
Green power and gold,
red power and blue,
Here the power we do unfold,
Quarters’ might, strong and true.
Four the winds to weave the round,
‘tween the worlds the power be bound.
Till we send it at the last,
Guardians keep it strong and fast.
Return to the centre and say:
O Goddess,
Answers to all mysteries and yet mysteries unanswered;
In this place of power I open myself to Your Essence.
In this place and in this time I am changed;
From hence forth I walk the Paths of the Craft.
I dedicate myself Andromeda AutumnMoon to you, Goddess
(rest for a moment, silent, still. Then continue;
I breathe your energies into my body,
commingling, blending,
mixing them with mine,
that I may see the divine in nature,
nature in the divine,
and divinity within myself and all else.
O Great Goddess,
Make me one with your essence
Make me one with your essence
Make me one with your essence.
Meditate upon your initiation, upon the good you will do,
and on the Goddess. This is the time to relax and meditate
I dismiss you now, Oh spirits of air
(earth,fire,water,) and ask you to return to your
elemental home harming none as you go and taking with you
my thanks for your attendance.
Close the circle by picking up your athame, wand, finger,
or whatever you used to cast it and walk to the corner at
which you started. Point at the boundary of the circle and
begin to walk counter-clockwise (left) until you complete
the circle. While you’re walking visualize the circle
disappearing and the energy flowing back through the tool.
When you are finished say “The circle is open, but
unbroken.”
