Smudging
And Anointing
Cast Circle
I cast this circle with radiant light, a space of protection, love
and creativity for all this night. The circle is cast.
Call
Quarters
NORTH: Energies of the North, we
ask for your strength, and nurturing abundance in our spiritual quest. I call
upon the forces of the earth to sharpen our minds for the work ahead and to
breathe protection, grounding and sense into our hearts. Be with us here
forces of the earth. Enter and be blessed!
EAST: Energies of the
East, where ideas are born and new days begin. I call upon the forces of the
air to lift our spirits and breathe life into our dreams, grant us knowledge
and vitality, gift us with clarity, vision and swift thought. Be with us
here forces of air. Enter and be blessed!
SOUTH: Energies of the South,
where passion and truth are found, and fulfillment is ours. I call upon
the forces of fire to energize our dreams and breathe passion and inspiration
into our lives. Give us strength, energy and love. Be with us here
forces of flame. Enter and be blessed!
WEST: Energies of the West,
where daylight ends and our fears are healed. I call upon the forces of
water to grant us intuition and wisdom, and breathe purity and empathy into our
studies. Be with us here forces of water. Enter and be blessed!
Unite
Energies
(A Good Solid OHM - Visualize the energy whirling around the circle. Visualize
whirled peas - and going down into a cone into the earth for grounding.)
Invocation
God & Goddess
HP: Goddess of movement and
creativity we invite you into our circle tonight as we celebrate our
spirituality. We ask for your inspiration as we create our spiritual paths and
your passionate fire to move us forward in that creation with light and love.
Guide our hearts and open our minds. Blessed be.
HPS: God of lessons
learned we invite you into our circle tonight as we celebrate our
spirituality. We ask for your wisdom as we create our spiritual paths and
your guidance to move us forward in that creation with love and light.
Help us choose the lessons for our highest good. Blessed be.
Name The
Working
Our ritual tonight is, for some, an exciting new adventure. For
others it’s a time of reflection and renewal of their spiritual path. For each
of us, the God and Goddess have a special message, a truth that will bring a
new spark of awareness and meaning to our individual paths. We have learned a
lot this past year about community and the power of laughter. And we would like
to share a remembrance that the God and Goddess have great senses of humor, are
always there to guide us and are the first to forgive when the intent is true.
Tonight, we will raise energy for everyone's spiritual path. Be it a beginning,
a renewal or a celebration, we invite all to share in our very special circle
of graduation.
Perform The
Work
We would like everyone in circle to visualize where they want to
be on your spiritual path six months from now. When I tell you to begin - visualize
your path while blowing up your balloon, placing your intent inside. See your
vision expand just as the balloon does with all the great possibilities that
lie ahead. When you've finished blowing up your balloon, hold the end closed
but do not tie it. Hold your balloon up so we can see when everyone is
done. Now you may begin.
Raise
Energy
HPS: Ok, everyone is
done, now we're going to release the air from our balloons with as much noise
as possible. Visualize your intentions and stored up energy being
released as loudly and with as much imagination and fun as you can muster.
(HP/HPS gather energy
at altar and prepare to release it like a large balloon. Once the energy
has peaked and the room is quiet face each other at the altar and raise arms
together to signal the release of the energy)
Great Rite
HPS: I hold the chalice
representing the feminine energies, the gentle, nurturing, and compassionate
aspects of the Goddess. She is the bearer of life in all forms, both
plant and animal. As life and death are a never-ending cycle, so are the cycles
of the earth.
HP: I hold the Athame,
representing the masculine energies, the strong, powerful and protecting
aspects of the God. He is the sun, shining down and giving strength to
all that grows. As all life becomes weak and dies, only to be reborn once again
to continue the cycle.
BOTH: We now come together
to complete the union of both Feminine and Masculine energies - a union of
balance and wholeness, a union in which one will complement the other.
HPS: As I represent the
mother
HP: As I represent the father
BOTH: Joining together, we create the balance that will
sustain the cycles of all life.
Cakes And
Ale
(Everyone will pitch in
after the blessing to help hand out to rest of circle)
Release God
& Goddess
HPS: Goddess Mother and
Lord Father, we thank You for coming into our Circle tonight. We ask for Your blessing as you depart. Hail & Farewell!
Release The Quarters
WEST: We thank the energies
of the West for attending our circle. As we flow through life, we will remember
that every twist and turn may hold new and exciting adventures for each of us.
Stay if you will go if you must. Hail and Farewell.
SOUTH: We thank you energies of
the South for attending our circle. The fires of passion will light our way and
shine upon the truth of what we need to know for our greatest good. Stay if you
will, go if you must. Hail and Farewell.
EAST: We thank you, energies
of the East, for attending our circle. Your mighty winds have cleared our paths
to spirit. Stay if you will, go if you must. Hail and Farewell.
NORTH: We thank you, energies of
the North, for attending our circle. May mother earth continue to sustain us on
our journey. Stay if you will, go if you must. Hail and Farewell.
Open Circle
HPS/HP: We thank everyone for coming to join us this evening. May those who guide us with their light, protect us in the
dark and walk beside us on the roads traveled - this Circle is open but
unbroken, merry meet, merry part and may we merry meet again!
Feast!
