The Goddess has brought us together to serve

Each other in kindness as we all deserve

What are the beauties of life if not living

What are thhe joys of love if not giving

What good is freedom if it is not used

What good is kindness when it is abusrd

Take heed my friends and enjoy what you've got

For today what you have, you tomorrow may not!

ONLINE FULL MOON RITUAL - FEBRUARY 1993

(Jehana)
Sit calmly, breath with relaxation..
Let the cares and stresses of the day wear off...
let the cares and stresses flow away from you..
Feel yourself surrounded by a warm and gentle orb...
of blue-white light...
Gentle, restful, protective...
Feel it expand... Feel it connect with your friends and
companions within Circle...
Feel it Circle around you; around all of us...
East, to South, to West, to North... To East again.
(visualize: face to the east): Hail, powers of Air!
We invite you to our Circle
A breath of air
A morning's gentle breeze --
Forethought and knowledge,
Hail & Welcome!

(Rilla)
(Face to the South): Oh spirits of the South...
Ancient ones of Fire...
I call you to attend this Circle...
Charge this by your powers...
Hail and Welcome!

(Jehana)
(Face to the West): Hail, powers of Water!
We invite you to our Circle
A drop of dew
The evening's tidal sweep --
Hail & Welcome!
(Rilla)
(face to the North): Hail, oh powers of the Earth...
Ancient ones of Gaia born...
I call upon you to attend this Circle...
Charge this by your powers, Old Ones...
Hail! and Welcome!

(Jehana)
Invoke into your heart and into this our Circle
The bright Lady of New Beginnings.
The Maiden who sings the joys of Spring to come
The Mother who brings nurturance, love and guidance.
Hail, bright Lady; we welcome thee!
Invoke into your heard and into this our Circle
The Oak King
Growing as a sapling
Growing strong.
A child at heart, learning, searching, in true Discovery.
Hail, bright Lord; we welcome thee!
According to Sun Bear, this Moon is the Moon of Rest and
Cleansing, following upon the Moon of Earth Renewal. The
animal is the Otter, and the plant, the Quaking Aspen.
Its mineral is silver.
In the Celtic tree calendar, as reported by Graves, this
full Moon falls in the month of Luis, signified by the Rowan
tree, and by the Tourmaline. Its attribute is Quickening.
Those who follow astrology know this is the month of
Aquarius, the Water Bearer; the fixed sign of Air.
According to Z Budapest, the Full Moon aspect of February is
the red and cleansing wild Moon. Life quickens now. It isa time of
purification, of growth, of the stimulation of all living things.
It is a healing time. It brings in the wind of the New.
Its flower: the primose and the violet. Its animal: the
duck and the otter. Its stone: the amethyst.
It is appropriate at this time to do workings; workings for
things we may wish to see in our lives, and in the world in
general. It is a time for healing. It is a time for growth.
I ask each of you to think of those things you wish to work
on,-- you may speak or keep them silent, as you will...
Speak first of new beginnings and things of growth for the
world at large. Then, speak of those new beginnings and
things of growth and healing for people or events closer to
home. And, yes, speak of those beginnings and things of
growth for you yourself. After we finish mentioning all of
our workings, we will repeat a phrase -- visualize the
energy, through the hand of the Goddess, flowing into the
things we seek, imbuing them with constructive energy.
(Please note that most Witches consider it unethical to work
healings or other magic for specific people without first
asking their permission).
(When I start doing the chant (which begins with "We all
come from the Goddess"), others may copy me, or jump ahead
if they are familiar with it...
I will tell you when to visualize the energy peaking.)
-- mention things in your mind or in print that you wish to
allow to grow/heal:

(Rilla)
I wish for a healing...
of the youth of this country...
that they may find the peace that they need...
to learn to live in harmony...
and to be the "future" of this world...
and for myself the patience...
to wait for direction...
in my life path...
and a healthy mind and body..
for the coming year.

(Jehana)
I wish for the earth's healing...
the pain in the environment to be turned around...
an understanding of the nature of this planet upon which we live.
I wish to know and be known by love and compassion.

(Ardelia)
I wish for this world.....
the ability to be calm...
as we learn to work with each other.....
the earth.....
and ourselves.

(Jehana)
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.

(Rilla)
We all come from the Goddess..
and to her we shall return...
Like a drop of rain...Flowing to the ocean.

(Jehana)
We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.

(Rilla)
We all come from the Goddess...
and the her we shall return...
Like a drop of rain...
Flowing to the ocean.

(Jehana)
Feel the energy; rising up; rising up; rising up!
Drink in the energy...
Take your glass of water, know that it is energized,
and drink!
Take a quiet moment to pause and reflect.
Oak King, Sapling growing strong...
Playful lord, in the growing time of your cycle...
Thank you for your presence here...
Hail, and Farewell!
Bright Maiden, singing your songs of Spring nearly afoot...
Gracious Mother, You of love and nurturance and guidance..
We thank you for your presence here..
We thank you for your blessings...
Hail, and Farewell!
Powers of Air!
We thank you for your fresh breath!
Hail, and Farewell!

(Rilla)
Powers of Fire!
We thank you for you strength!
Hail and Farewell!

(Jehana)
Powers of Water!
We thank you for your healing compassion!
Hail, and farewell!
(Rilla)
Powers of the Earth!
We thank you for your sustenance and nurturance!
Hail and farewell!

(Jehana)
The blue-white glow that surronds us all...
begins to retract...
slowly, slowly...
Fire seal the Circle round
Let it fade beneath the ground
Let all things be as they were
Since the beginning of time.
Merry Meet, Merry Part, and Merry Meet Again!

(Rilla)
Blessed Be!

(Jehana)
The Ritual has concluded; Bright Blessings; Blessed Be!

(original written for Aug 1992)
3 Apr 1995

Dedicated to Audrey-Lily

East P/s: West P/s:
South P/s: North P/s:
Scribe:

NOTE: All main roles are performed by people of the same gender
as the Candidates.

TOOLS

blindfolds gift baskets strong wand
black bowl red pitcher chalice

ancestry declamation

GIFTS:

East: Apple + Sage

PREPARATION

The week before the rite, all candidates are brought into
the Wo/Men's Circle for their introductory session.

Alternately, the Candidates may be "kidnapped" from the
previous mixed Circle by the Wo/Men's Circle, and told that they
are about to undergo the Rite at the next Circle. This
"kidnapping" can include all the preparation pieces, but the
Candidates are taken home afterwards instead of returned to the
ongoing ceremony. Ideally, if this is used, the opposite gender
parent/guardian should stay somewhere else on the night of the
kidnapping, and also on the night previous to the Rite.

All Priest/esses, Crones/Mages, and other facilitators of
the Rite should be present. A general description of the Rite
may be shared, but no specifics; eg, "A sort of experience you
might encounter could be..." The Candidates are given copies
of the Bread Blessing.

Each Candidate is directed to create a song, poem, picture,
or other creative artwork to share during the Rite. They are
also offered the chance to take a new name, for Circle work
and/or for secular life.

Names of direct fe/male predecessors should be shared or
researched then given to the HP/s to have added to the rite for
the Acceptance portion.

If the Candidates' mothers/fathers cannot be present,
or as an optional extra, their living fe/male predecessors may
write them appropriate letters of affirmation, advice, etc. to
be presented during the rite.

All gifts are blessed the week or Moon prior to the start of
the Rite and left to sit on the altar. However, they should be
placed in baskets prior to the rite to hide them from the
Candidates.

"Goddesses of the Quarters"

were first born.

I gift you with this Moon calendar;
to make your Will clear,
I gift you with this red candle.

WEST: Mari, the Dark Light of the Ocean, has given you Her love
to share with all of Her children. She asks you to use
this love to guide you through all periods of darkness
and to give and receive freely of it.

As you grow in this compassion, may you strengthen your
heart to know that just as you have been greatly gifted,
so too are you a great gift to the world.

To remind you to rely on your intuition,
I gift you with this silver bowl;
to help you see,
I gift you with this blessed salt water.

NORTH: Gaea, Mother of all the Goddesses, has given you a
wondrous body. She asks that you respect your own life
as sacred, and to honor all life as reflections of Her.

As you become grounded in this reverence, may you vibrate

to help you grow,

I am She who rides the night skies
I am She who sings in the tides

In silver, shining bright.

I am the giver of blessings to those who look beyond my bright face For I am the Moon, and I am always with thee.

I Am The Holly King

I am the Holly King, the dying Sun and King of the Old Year
Like the Phoenix who rises anew from its ashes
I too shall return, born anew
As the Child, the New Sun and King
I hold in my arms
He is my son and my heir
He is my Self
Having learned the wisdoms of the South
I now return to the North
To bring you warmth and light
And the promise of Spring
I am the Holly King.

Home Blessing Magick

A home blessing meditation for charging a room:

* Sit Straight with palms on lap, take deep breaths, relax, and move into a mental space where you activate your intuitive senses
* Imagine a cord of energy from your spine connecting you to the Earth, and channel energy from the Earth through it
* Silently ask for divine protection, guidance, and blessing
* Direct your psychic sensing outward, and feel lines of force coming out of your aura
* Note where the strongest energy is (check out the floor,ceiling, directions, etc) Note spots that feel empty or dead, note places that feel full alive, focus on where you are sitting and how you feel at that particular spot
* Imagine a sphere of light and love energy at your heart, feel it pulsing outward with every breath
* Feel the radiance increase with every breath, feel your self as a star, continue to breathe deeply and send out the energy, letting it pulsate in the room
* When ready, start making power sounds representing the love and light you are channeling; use it to amplify the light you are weaving; and fill the room with the energy
* Then shift focus to sending a probe out into the room, and note the differences in the quality of energy and how you feel about it. Repeat if necessary
* When done, feel the completeness of the work

A room blessing involving elemental quarter invocations:

* Face each direction (with arms out in appropriate elemental invoking gesture), and say, while channeling and visualizing elemental power:

- Powers of (say direction),
- Powers of (say corresponding element),
- We great you, we honor you, we welcome you here!
- Watch over and bless and protect this place.

* After each invocation, shape the energy into columns of light by sweeping ones arms together until they are parallel and sweeping them up and down while channeling and shaping the energy
* When the energy is properly shaped, say so "mote it be."
* After you have done all four quarters, channel in spirit energy

To return the energy to a more mellow state while energizing yourself, put your hands out and take in a bit of the energy into your self from each direction, going widdershins, hold hands to your heart and take in the energy (techniques also exist for bringing it into a stone and retrieving it when needed).

Durwydd, 1989-90

Preliminaries

WATER :
Blessings upon thee, O creature of water, I cast out from thee all impurities and uncleanness of the spirits of phantasm, confusion, or any other influence not for the free will of all.

SALT :
Blessings be upon this creature of salt; let all malignity and hindrance be cast forth thence from, and let all good enter therein. Wherefore I bless thee and invoke thee, that thou mayest aid me.

MIXING :
I take this salt of the Earth, Blessed with the will of Fire; I take this water of spirit, Exorcised with mind of merit;

I mix them with words of power, Dedicated to every Tower.

Casting Of The Circle

I conjure thee, O circle of power,
As thou encircle every Tower.
That thou beest a place of Truth, Joy and love,
Encircling Flight of Eagle, Hawk and Dove.

Rampart of thought, action and word.
To work in Peace, Powerful and Free,
Who walk between two worlds conjure thee;
A boundary to Protect, Concentrate and Contain,
That Power raised here be not in vain.

Wherefore do I bless thee and consecrate thee,
in the names of Cernunnos and Aradia.

Few More Songs

Kill A Tree
From: Ali Katz

to the tune of "Jingle Bells":

Dashing to the mall in a fleet of rented trucks,
a million hairless apes are out to spend some plastic bucks.
It's Christmas time again -- or maybe World War Three --
and to keep their spirits happy now, they've got to kill a tree.

Oh, kill a tree, kill a tree, kill a tree for Christ.
(Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, accept this sacrifice.)
Kill a tree, kill a tree, kill a tree for Christ,
not sure what we're doing, but it seems to work out nice.

We know we each deserve a ton or two of crap,
but to keep the goodies coming now, we've got to spill some sap,
and string electric lights, and raise the ritual star,
and bribe our friends and families to forget what jerks we are.

And kill a tree... (etc.)

We always kill a tree. That's always been enough
for videos and GI Joes and all that kiddy stuff.
But Mommy wants a Harley, and Daddy wants a boat;
that's prob'ly gonna cost at least a chicken and a goat.

But kill a tree... (etc.)

To enhance everyone's holiday cheer, I highly recommend singing this one at the mall. But depending on where you live, you may want to make sure you've got a good bail bondsman's number first.
"Lord Of The Ants
By: Karl Lembke

(tune: "Lord of the Dance")

Well we cleansed with sugar 'cause the salt was gone,
And the color was right though the substance might be wrong,
And when the water dried, it was sticky, my oh me,
It attracted all of the ants, you see,

(chorus)
Ants, ants, all over they shall be,
I am the lord of the ants, you see.
I'll crawl on you, and you'll itch from me,
And you'll dance with ants in your pants, said he.

We have ants in the carpets and we've ants in the drapes,
We have ants in the kitchen dancing galliards on the grapes,
We have ants in the bedroom and what may be more fun,
We have ants in our circles now from sun to sun.

(chorus)
'What to do' cried the priestess, 'what to do' cried the priest,
'All the baits and the sprays haven't helped us in the least,
'The buggers eat it up and it only makes us sick,
'All in all I'd say it is no pic-nic!'

(chorus)

We stood round the fire while the flames lept up high,
With the sound of the sirens wailing up to the sky,
Though the bug bombs exploded it could still have been worse,
At least now we're free of the ant lord's curse!

(spoken: "Oh hell!")

(chorus)
"It's from a Pagan version of the song CIRCLES. I'm not sure who wrote it - I want to say a group of women in Lansing, Mich. Unfortunately, my copy says
"ANON".

Circles

Tune: Windmills

(1) In days gone by, when the world was much younger,
Men wondered at Spring, born of Winter's cold knife,
Wondering at the games of the moon and the sunlight,
They saw there the Lady and Lord of all life.

CHORUS: Around and around, and around turns the good Earth,
All things must change as the seasons go by,
we are the children of the Lord and the Lady,
Whose mysteries we know, but will never know why.

(2) In all lands the people were tied to the good Earth,
Plowing and sowing, as the seasons declared,
Waiting to reap of the rich golden harvest,
Knowing her laughter in the joys that we shared.

Chorus.

(3) Through Flanders and Wales and the green lands of Ireland,
in the kingdoms of England and Scotland and Spain,
Circles grew up all along the wild coastlines,
And worked for the land, with the Sun and the rain.
Chorus

(4) Circles for healing, and working the weather,
Circles for knowing the Moon and the Sun,
Circles for thanking the Lord and the Lady,
Circles for dancing the dance never done.

Chorus

(5) And we who reach for the stars in the heavens,
Turning our eyes from the meadows and groves,
Still live in the love of the Lord and the Lady,
The greater the circle, the more the love grows.

Chorus twice.

Blessed be, and keep dancing.
Keipa

A Full Moon Blessing

The only Temple of Peace worth building
Is in your heart, Serge
Is in the human heart
In your students hearts

Peace can not be won with money, Serge
Peace can not be bought
Nor can peace be sold
But peace must be earned

In loving, selfless service to us all
Giving, regiving
Just for the Joy of It
THAT is Aloha

Aloha is never prosperity, Serge
Bought with the money
Tinkling in your pocket
Aloha is free

Giving, regiving in poverty
Sings an ancient song
Full of Joy, Bliss and Love
The true coin of Peace

A so is giving, regiving in wealth
A thing of beauty
Filled with ancient glory
Unsurpassable

With blessings and thanks, I give you this gift
May it touch your heart
And open your heart
May it touch all hearts

The Earth Is Gaia

Living, breathing, growing
Sentient, conscious, spiritual
In pain

Gaia is my Goddess, my Mother
The soil beneath my feet
The waters that flow and are still
The wind in the trees
The myraid beings that share my home

I am Gaia too
A sentient, spiritual agent in "Gaia-unfolding"
I am here to love, to nurture,
To feel person- and planet-pain, and to heal.

So may it be

Song To Diana

Tweet

Queen and huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats thy light,
Goddess excellently bright.
Earth, let not thy envious shade
Dare itself to interpose;
Cynthia's shining orb was made
Heaven to clear when day did close:
Bless us then with wished sight,
Goddess excellently bright.
Lay thy bow of pearl apart,
And thy crystal-shining quiver;
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breathe, how short soever:
Thou that mak'st a day of night,
Goddess excellently bright.

by Benjamin Jonson

Bedtime Blessing For Children

#1: Lord and Lady,
Bless me as I sleep
Keep me safe within your arms
As round me night time creeps
I ask you also, if you will,
To watch over the ones I love-
here's my list of those who need
Some blessings from above.

Blessings on...

#2: Bright light, White light
Take away my fright
Don't let the darkness scare me,
There's nothing here to fear.

Let me sleep the whole night long,
For I am safe in here.
White Light, Bright Light
Protect me through the night

This should be done cupping hands as if holding a ball of white light. Toss ball in air and imagine it bursting to fill the whole room with protection.)

We Celebrate The Recent Summer Solstice

Tweet

Archedrama for Summer:

DEATH IN LIFE

Firebearer: [Lights Witch fire in cauldron.]

P: [Holds the lit green and unlit red candles.]

Ps: Tonight we celebrate the recent Summer Solstice, the longest
day of the year. Now the light has reached its fullness;
and yet, gives way and changes into dark, reminding us that
even as there is Life-within-Death, so too there is Death-
within-Life. The Sun has reached the peak of its power, and
all life flourishes.

P: [Lights red candle with green.]

Ps: As the Maiden has become the Mother, so now the Sun begins
its decline, and the Holly King replaces the Oak King as the
consort of the Goddess.

P: [Snuffs the green candle with the red.]

Ps: Together They bring the hope and promise of the harvest, the
fruition of Their union, Their gift of bounty given freely
to the Children. In celebration of Their union, the
Children are invited to jump the Sabbat fire and ask for
Blessings for themselves, their homes, and their crops of
land and spirit. Those who are joined by the bonds of love,
may also jump the fire together to Bless their union.

P/s: [Are first to jump the fire.]

All: [Jump the fire after them.]

F: [Extinguishes Witch fire, moves cauldron aside.]

Father Of Creation Divine Mother

We sit at thy lotus feet in celebration of the consciousness you left us,
the Universal intelligence present in every atom of creation.

Let us all unite and throw away the chains of dogma,
that all people, from all walks of life, unite in truth.

We understand the point of religion isn't to have blind faith,
rather direction perception and experience,
that is why we sit here today,
so that we may directly experience our birthright,
the Christ Consciousness.

Bless all with the strength to sit with you for the whole time,
may this not feel like a burden to anyone that attempts it,
we do this with love, and free will.

We are sitting because we want too, in honor.
We use our free will to sit with thee,
you do not have to play hide and seek anymore,
this is our choice.

One thing we are not, oh Divine mother, are beggars.
We will not sit here and beg things of you,
We are your sons and daughters!

We only demand for what is ours!
What you created for us,
your love.

May your presence be felt as we sit in silence,
giving thanks to the consciousness you left us,
a road map back to your kingdom.

May you bless not only all that are attempting to sit with you,
but every sentient being.

Peace, Aum, Amen

Love, peace, compassion and respect
-wishy

THE MAGICK OF THE REAL MOTHER GOOSE

c 1996/97 By Ashlynn Ward

RITUALS

Two Yarrow Rituals:

(1)
Goodnight, fair yarrow,
Thrice goodnight to thee;
I hope before tomorrow's dawn
My true love I shall see.

note: On the night of a New Moon, pluck a sprig of yarrow. Place it under your pillow after repeating the spell over it, three times.

(2)
St. Valentine, that's to lovers kind,
Come ease the trouble of my mind,
And send the man that loves me true
To take the sprigs out of my shoe[s]

note: Gather a sprig of Thyme and one of Rosemary on the evening of a new moon.
Repeat the spell three times, while sprinkling your ritual [holy] water over these herbs. Place one sprig in each shoe and place each shoe on either side of the bed.

Two Lunar Divinations:

(1)
All hail to the moon! all hail to thee!
I prithee, good moon, declare to me
This night who my husband must be!

(2)
Luna, every woman's friend,
To me thy goodness condescend,
Let this night in visions see
Emblems of my destiny.

note:
These spells were performed at the new moon with an elaborate ritual, namely: Under your pillow place a prayerbook, on top of this lay these cards; the 10 of clubs, the nine of hearts, the ace of spades, and the ace of diamonds. On top of these, rest three willow leaves, a ring, a key, a crust of bread, a tiny heart shaped cake and a flower. The rhyme [spell] is spoken three times, then the young woman was to sleep with her head upon the pillow.

Secure a branch of Ash with an even number of leaves growing on it. Mother Goose says use it thusly:

The even-ash leaf in my hand,
The first I meet shall be my man.
The even-ash leaf in my glove,
The first I meet shall be my love.
The even-ash leaf in my bosom,
The first I meet shall be my husband.

Another Even-Ash ritual from Mother Goose:

The even-ash I double in three
The first I meet my true love shall be;
If he be married let him pass by,
But if he be single let him draw nigh.

For three consecutive Friday nights, throw a pinch of salt on the fire saying:

It is not this salt that I wish to burn
But my lover's heart I wish to turn,
So that he may not rest nor happy be
Until he comes to me!

Place a chestnut on the fire, think of your love, speak this charm until the sign is given:

If you love me, pop and fly;
If you hate me, lay and die.

Two rituals to procure your lover:
On Samhain, sow Hemp-seed [illegal now!], repeating this spell:

Hemp-seed I set
Hemp-seed I sow,
The young man that I love,
Come after me and mow.

I sow, I sow,
Then my own dear,
Come hoe, come hoe,
And mow and mow.

Another:
On Samhain take 2 roses of different colors. Chose one to represent yourself, the other for your lover. Twine the stems together, repeating this spell:

Twine, twine, and intertwine,
Let my love be wholly mine.
If his heart be kind and true,
Deeper grows his rose's hue!

On the night of 20 January [St. Agnes Eve], eat no supper; venture out to a strange locale, being sure to wear stockings and a garter. When you retire for the night, take the right stocking that you wore, and the garter. "Knit" the garter around the stocking, making a knot, AS you repeat this spell:

This knot I knit,
To know the thing I know not yet,
That I may see
The man that shall my husband be,
How he goes, and what he wears,
And what he does all the days.

Lie down with your hands behind your head, (on your back), and sleep. You should dream of your future mate, whom will kiss you in the dream.
