    ONE OF MANY ALTAR SETUPS!

    THE CIRCLE OF STONES

    The Circle of stones issued during indoor rituals, for energy raising, meditationand so on. Firstcleanse the area with the ritual broom. For this circle you will need four large, flatstones. If youhave none, candles can be used to mark the four cardinal points of the circle.White or purplecandles can be used, as can colors related to each direction-green for the North,yellow for East,red for South and blue for West. Place the first stone (or candle) to the North, to

    represent theSpirit of the North Stone. In ritual when you invoke the Spirits of the Stonesyou're actuallyinvoking all that resides in that particular direction, including the elementalenergies. Aftersetting the North Stone (or candle), place the East, South and West stones.They should mark outa rough square, nearly encompassing the working area. This square representsthe physical planeon which we exist - The Earth. Now take a long purple or white cord and lay itout in a circle,

    using the four stones or candles to guide you. It takes a bit of practice tosmoothly do this. Thecord should be placed so that the stones remain inside the circle. Now you havea square and acircle, the circle representing the spiritual reality as such, this is a squared circle;the place ofinterpenetration of the physical and spiritual realms. The size of the circle can beanything from5 to 20 feet depending on the room and your desires.Next, set up the altar. The following tools are recommended:. A Goddess symbol (candle, holed stone, statue)

    . A God symbol (candle, horn, acorn, statue). Magic knife (athame)

    . Wand

    . Censer

    . Pentacle

    . A bowl of water (spring, rain or tap)

    . A bowl of salt (it can also be placed on the pentacle)

    . Incense

    4/18

    . Flowers or greens

    . One red candle

    . Any other tools or materials required for the ritual, spell or magical working.Set up the altar. Also be sure to have plenty of matches, as well as a small heat-proof container in

    which to place them when used. A charcoal block is also necessary to burn theincense. Light thecandles. Set the Incense smoking.

    Lift the knife and touch its blade to the water, saying:

    I consecrate and cleanse this water that it may be purified and fitto

    Dwell within the sacred Circle of Stones.In the name of the Mother Goddess and the Father God Iconsecrate this water.

    As you do this, visualize your knife blasting away all negativity from the water.The salt is next touched with the point of the knife while saying:

    I bless this salt that it may be fit to dwell within the sacred Circleof Stones.In the name of the Mother Goddess and the Father God, I bless

    this salt.

    Now stand facing North, at the edge of the cord-marked circle. Hold your magicknife pointoutward at waist level. Walk slowly around the circle's perimeter deosil, your feetjust inside thecord. Use visualization-with the power flowing out from your knife's blade tocreate a completesphere around the working area, half above the ground, half below. As you dothis say:

    Here is the boundary of the Circle of Stones.Naught but love shall enter in,Naught but love shall emerge from within.Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones!

    When you have arrived back at the North, place the magic knife on the altar.Take up the salt and

    5/18

    sprinkle it around the circle, beginning and ending in the North, and movingdeosil. Next, carrythe smoking censer around the circle, then the Southern point candle, and finallysprinkle wateraround the circle. Do more than carrying and walking; sense the substances

    purifying the circle.The Circle of Stones is now sealed.Hold aloft the wand at the North, at the edge of the circle, and say:

    0 Spirit of the North Stone,Ancient One of the Earth,I call You to attend this circle.Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones!

    As you say this, visualize a greenish mist rising and writhing in the Northernquarter, over the

    stone. This is the elemental energy of Earth. When the Spirit is present, lowerthe wand, move tothe East, raise it again and say:

    0 Spirit Qf the East Stone,Ancient One of Air, . I call You to attend this circle.Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones!

    Visualize the yellowish mist of Air energy. Lower the wand, move to the Southand repeat the

    following with your upraised wand, visualizing a crimson Fire mist:

    O Spirit of the South Stone,Ancient One of Fire,I call You to attend this circle.Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones!

    Finally, to the West, say with wand held aloft:

    O Spirit of the West Stone,

    Ancient One of Water,I call You to attend this circle.Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones!

    Visualize the bluish mist, the essence of Water. The circle breathes and livesaround you. TheSpirits of the Stones are present. Feel the energies. Visualize the circle glowingand growing in

    8/18

    Bless this wine and infuse it with Your Love.In Your names, Mother Goddess and Father God,I bless this wine (or brew, juice, etc.).

    Hold up a plate of cakes (bread, biscuits) with both hands to the sky, and say:

    Powerful God of the Harvest,Bless these cakes and infuse them with Your Love.In Your names, Mother Goddess and Father God,I bless these cakes (or this bread).

    RELEASING THE CIRCLE

    Once the rite is ended, face North, hold aloft the wand and say:

    Farewell, Spirit of the North Stone.I give thanks for your presence here.Go in power.

    Repeat this same formula to the East, South and West, substituting the properdirection in thewords. Then return to the North and hold the wand aloft for a few moments. Laythe wand on the

    altar. Take up the Athame. Standing in the North, pierce the circle's wall with theblade at waistlevel. Move Widdershins around the circle, visualizing its power being suckedback into theknife. Literally pull it back into the blade and handle. Sense the circle dissolving,shrinking; theoutside world slowly regaining its dominance in the area. When you arrive at theNorth again,the circle is no more.

    CONSECRATION OF TOOLS

    Light the candles. Set the incense smoking. Cast the Circle of Stones. Place the

    tool on thepentacle, or a plate of salt. Touch it with the point of the magic knife (or yourprojective hand)and say:

    I consecrate you, (say the name of the item or tool) to cleanse and purifyyouto serve me within the Circle of Stones.In the names of the Mother Goddess and Father God, you areconsecrated.

    Send projective energy into the tool, cleansing it of all negativity and pastassociations. Nowpick it up and sprinkle with salt, pass through the incense smoke, through thecandle flame andsprinkle with water, calling upon the Spirits of the Stones to consecrate it. Thenhold the tool tothe sky, saying:

    I charge you by the Old Ones: By the omnipotent Goddess andGod, By the virtues of the Sun, Moon and Stars, By the powers of

    the Earth, Air, Fire and Water,that I shall obtain all that I desire through you.Charge this by your power, Old Ones!

    The tool should immediately be put to use to strengthen and bind theconsecration. For example,the Athame can be used to consecrate another tool; a wand to invoke theGoddess; the pentacle

    to act as a resting place for a tool during its consecration.

    Samhain October 31

    Place upon the altar apples, pomegranates, pumpkins, squashes and other lateautumn fruits orflowers. Write on a piece of paper an aspect of your life which you wish to befree of. Thecauldron must be present before the altar as well. A small, flat dish marked withan eight-spokewheel symbol should also be there. Prior to the ritual, sit quietly and think offriends and lovedones who have passed away. Keep firmly in mind that the physical isn't theabsolute reality, andthat souls never die. Arrange the altar, light the candles and censer, and cast

    the Circle of Stones. Recite the Blessing Chant. Invoke the Goddess and God.Lift one of the pomegranates and, with your white-handled knife, pierce the skinof the fruit.Remove several seeds and place them on the wheel-marked dish. Raise yourwand, face the altarand say:

    O Sun King, on this night of Samhain I mark your passing, throughthe sunset into the Land of the Young. I mark also the passing of

    all who have gone before, and all who will go after. 0 GraciousGoddess, Eternal Mother, You who gives birth to the fallen, teachme to know that in the time of the greatest darkness there is thegreatest light.

    Taste the pomegranate seeds; burst them with your teeth and savour theirsharp, bittersweetflavour. Look down at the eight-spoke symbol on the plate; the wheel of the year,the cycle of theseasons, the end and beginning of all creation. Light a fire within the cauldron (a

    candle is fine).Sit before it, holding the piece of paper, gazing at its flames. Say:

    Wise One of the Waning Moon,Goddess of the starry night,I create this fire within Your cauldronto transform that which is plaguing me.

  • 7/29/2019 MY RITUAL OUTLINE.pdf

    11/18

    May the energies be reversed,From darkness, light!From bane, good!From death, birth!

    Light the paper in the cauldron's flames and drop it inside. As it burns, know thatyour illdiminishes, and finally leaves you as it is consumed within the universal fires. Ifyou wish, youmay attempt scrying or some other form of divination, for this is a perfect time tolook into thepast or future. Try to recall past lives too, if you will. But leave the dead in peace.Honor themwith your memories but do not call them to you. Release any pain and sense ofloss you may feelinto the cauldron's flames. Works of magic if necessary may follow.

    Celebrate the Simple Feast.The circle is released.

    Invocation of the Elements

    Air, Fire, Water, Earth,Elements of Astral birth,I call you now; attend to me!

    In the circle, rightly cast,Safe from psychic curse or blast,I call you now; attend to me!From cave and desert, sea and hill,By wand, blade, cup and pentacle,I call you now; attend to me!

    This is my will, so mote it be!
