Day of the Ritual

I am looking forward to tonight. At bit nervous, but I know that is normal. I know that it will be fine and all will go well. Everything is ready ahead of time. Which is a good thing.

I have gone over the ritual in my mind several times, and practiced the invoking and devoking of the pent, which was really the only thing I had not practiced before this week. So I am as ready as I can be at this point.

I will repost about it after 24 hours have past, as is the rule after a circle. Thus we do not weaken the spells that are cast tonight by each person.

Blessed Be!!!

Dreams

I have been having some really interesting dreams. Will have to post them here when I figure out how to get the pictures from my mind to the computer so I can post them here. Seems like my different selves are beginning to try harder to work together to communicate with each other.

Dark Moon Ritual coming into crescent

Blessed Be!

"This is the ending before the beginning, the death before the new Me. Now on the ebb tide the secrets of the shoreline are uncovered by the retreating waves. The moon is hidden, but the faintest of the stars are revealed and those who have eyes to see may read the fates and know the mysteries. The Goddess, whose name cannot be spoken, naked enters the Kingdom of Death. Then the most vast silence and stillness, all is possible. We meet in the time of the Crone, to touch the deep power of the dark."

Scrying:
(Need a bowl of water)
We are coming to the end of the year.
We need to let go of some old thing in our lives and begin a new.
Focus on what you want to see new in your life this next year and work to see it in the water.

(raising power) join hands and begin to focus on what it is you want, then send that vision into the bowl of water.

This I see
What shall be
being bold
away with old
see the view
of something new.


Scry together, share what you see.

Formal Grounding:


All clasps hands. Raise them high, and visualize the power flowing downward through your hands. Ground and center, and Leader gives line, and coveners repeat:

"Source to source"
Flow through me
Above and below,
Turn to return,
Clearly
Fade to grow.
As I will,
So it shall be.
Spell make it so!"

Lower your hands toward the ground. Exhale, and feel the power leave your hands and flow down to the ground and see it be absorbed into the earth.

Feast:
HPS Blesses drink--as the athame is to the lord so is the chalice to the lady..... bless this drink so that we may partake of thy bounty.

HP Blesses cakes--as the earth feeds the grain, so this bread feeds this body that we may not be in want.


Each covener gets to color a picture and blow some bubbles. Allow the inner child to break through a little. The Maiden is coming out with the change of the moon.

"This is the time of new beginning, the seed time of creation, the awakening after sleep. Now the moon emerges, a crescent out of the dark; the Birthgiver returns from Death. The tide turns; all is transformed. Tonight we are touched by the Maiden who yields to all and yet is penetrated by none. She changes everything She touches; may She open us to change and growth."

Thank you's and pleases.

Release the Quarters:

Mother Bear of the deep caves, thank you for joining us this night as we honored Her body that provides so much for us. Go if you must, stay if you will, peace between us always.
Blessed Be!

Parts of this were taken from "Spiral Dance" Twentieth Anniversary Edition.
Some of the Quarter information I got from my High Priestess.
The ideas for coloring and bubbles came from Hilde and Tabbie.
My family here in Athena Coven have made this possible by being here for me.
The Goddess has blessed me in more ways than I can ever verbalize thank you's for.
