Prayer of Stardust Speaking

 
The leaf falls from the tree that grows,
The tree grows from the soil that nourishes,
The soil wears from the rock that endures,
The rock solidified from the molten flows,
The molten flows were the space dust pressed into itself,
The dust that became this planet that we love,
This planet that spins around our yellow star,
The yellow star that was tossed into the vast emptiness of space.
 
The tree, the soil, the rock, the dust the star that lights our way, we are all one. We are the earth that walks upon itself, that dances around the tree. We are stardust made self-aware in the vast and unfathomable reaches of night. I am a small thing, I pray that in my smallness I find love, peace and joy as I walk and dance upon myself, this stardust rock, my earth.
 

Create sacred space

(Make a circle out of powdered egg shells)

 
Ostara:     Speaking of the cosmos and stardust on this saining, we also celebrate Ostara. The Spring Equinox; the rebirth of nature and the awakening of the earth.
 
With this I present to you the Cosmic Egg. Also known as the Orphic Egg. Which has roots in Ancient Egypt and Greece.
 
Eggs are the universal symbol of creation, birth, rebirth, the moon and the goddess. They are often seen in conjunction with the serpent or snake. The goddess birthed both the snake and egg from her body and they floated on the waters of chaos. By wrapping herself around the egg, the snake broke it open and from it hatched all forms of the universe.
 
The upper half becoming the heavens and symbolizes creation and the beginning of the universe. The middle represents a union of opposites and silver egg holding the God, Thanes. The lower half becomes the earth and symbolizes the orphic mysteries.

(Perhaps have everyone make one or paint them)

 

Connect with the Spirits

 
We invite Bastet, Freyja and Palu. The sacred Goddesses of cats, to be with us tonight in this blessing. And all the cats that came before. Hail and welcome!

(Present offerings)

 

Waters of Life Prayer

 
All waters are one.
All water that has ever existed and will ever be on this earth
Is this water.
Is the water that came from the cosmic creation
Is the water that flowed from the river
Is the water that flowed from the ocean
Is the water the fell from the sky
Is the water that flowed from the sacred well where the Gods reside
All waters are one.
 

Naming

 
Today, we welcome this precious new life. Today, we formally “give” her a name, to
symbolize her uniqueness. Names are powerful. Bestowing the name is a moment of
welcoming a differentiated life, with its own power, into the circle of life.
 
How shall this life be called and how did you choose this name?
 
Chloe, your name was chosen with great care, and it was chosen just for you. You came to us in the garden, which is fitting for this Ostara celebration. For your name means “To Bloom” just as the flora and fruits of the garden, we hope you bloom and thrive to a healthy and happy cat
 

Mark the baby/pet with the sacred water

 
Bastet, Freyja and Palu
Goddesses of beauty and grace
Protectors of the feline race
Shield Chloe from hurt and harm
And keep her always safe and warm
Watch over Chloe from day to day
And guide her if she should stray
Grant her much happiness
And a good life free of strife and stress.
 

Fairy Godmother Blessing

 
May the sun shine bright upon you
May the moon in darkness guide you
May the stars in the sky watch you
May fate be kind to you
May your loved ones aid you in the storms of life
May joy be yours and may there be little strife
May peace and happiness be yours all of your days
May you find friends, love and good work your way.
Blessings of the Spirits be upon you.
Blessings of All Beings be upon you.
 

Closing

 
We thank Bastet, Freyja, Palu and the spirits of all the cats who came before for joining us here in this blessing for Chloe.
 
May the blessings of the spirits go with us,
May the love of all being reside with us,
May the sacred world be ever-present in our minds,
May the road we walk be gentle,
And may kindness find us as we are kind to others.
So, mote it be.
 
The circle is open but never broken.
Stay if you like, leave if you must. Hail and farewell!
