(1-6,HPS) [HPS rings a pleasant bell three times]
Ring! Ring! Ring!
(1-6,HP)
I will now light the Lords candle on the Alter...
My lord, be with us in strength and love to see this circle through As the light shines through, Our love is with you!
I will now light the Lady's candle on the altar...
May the Lady's light guide us. So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS)
My lord, will you please summon the Elementals?
(1-6,HP)
By your wish, my love!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the East with Athame in hand and draw a Large invoking pentagram in the air]
Powers of the East, entities of air, I call and summon thee here and now. With the Love of the Lady and the Strength of the Lord I invoke Thee; Be present at our circle; Protect those within; Guide us in our rites. Oh, great element of air, as thou flows within us all, I ask of thee to join all here together with thine invisible bonds of thought and knowledge. So Mote it Be!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the South, again drawing an invoking pentagram in the air]
Powers of the South, entities of fire, I call and summon thee here and now. With love of the Lady and Strength of the Lord I invoke thee; Be present at our circle; Protect those within; and Guide us in our rites. Oh great elements of fire, warm our hearts and souls so that all within our circle tonight can WILL that perfect love and thus receive all that which returns thrice fold. So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [I move to the West. I draw a large invoking pentagram in the air]
Powers of the West, entities of water, I call and summon thee with the love of the Lady and strength of the Lord. I invoke Thee; Be present at our circle;
Protect those within; and guide us in our rites. Oh great element of water, help us dare to flow as easily as thou within and without our physical selves so that all within our circle may join on the astral. Moisten our lips so our kiss be soft; Flow from our eyes as tears of joy; Unite us in the realms of the Gods.
So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Circling to the north I draw another large invoking Pentagram]
Lady of the North, Mother Earth, sweet beauty and gift of the Gods,... join us here in our circle of love. With the Lord and the Lady...within us all, we send for thee with Perfect Love and Perfect Trust...so that thou may be healed, renewed, and loved. Powers of the North,...entities of the Earth, be present at our circle; Protect those within; and Guide us in our rites. With the love of the Lady and the strength of the Lord, I call thee here now! So mote it be!
(1-6,HPS) So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Back to the East again, Athame raised high]
So Mote It Be! The elements are here!
[speaking now to the HPS]
My Lady, the elements are present as per your wish. With love and trust they have been summoned as all here now have been. So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HPS) [HPS goes to the alter and draws a pentagram in a bowl of salt]
I bless thee salt, element of Earth, in the names of the Lady & Lord.
[HPS now draws a pentagram in a bowl of water]
(1-6,HPS)
I bless thee, element of water, in the names of the Lord and Lady.
(1-6,HPS) [HPS Places three Athame-fulls of salt in the water]
I ask that the combining of these elements purify our circle, and those who shall enter this sacred place of worship for the Lady and Lord.
(1-6,HP) [HP draws a pentagram in a small dish of incense]
Incense of Oil. Incense of Herb. I bless and consecrate thee to be pure and good. With this blessing I do charge thee to keep from this circle all ill and bring forth the security of Perfect Love and Perfect Trust to all within our magical bounds. So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Now I draw a pentagram in over the fire (a small charcoal)]
Creature of fire, I consecrate and bless thee so that thou are purest in form, love, and trust. Powers within, grow and strengthen so that thou may protect and aid all within our circle, uniting us within, even over vast distances. I charge thee to hinder us not, protect us from that which we do not desire, and warm our hearts with thoughts of Love and Trust. So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [I now place a bit of incense on the coal]
Incense burn in the fires light and the elements shall unite. May the sweetness upon the air aid our united thoughts and bring forth all which is good and pure.
For that which is not good and pure shall find the sweetness sour and repugnant.
Incense and fire now
seal our way on the path of the Lady and Lord! So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [HP will take censor in hand and the HPS will take the salted water,...we then sprinkle and cense the circle border as well as ourselves within...]
(1-6,HPS) [I will now conjure the circle, please visualize a bright blue perimeter]
I conjure thee oh circle of love and light. May our perfect love and trust shine bright. With this light of blue, We ask that no harm come through. Circle in, Circle out, Only the pure of heart may come about. So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [With a big ole kiss I bring all the Ladies out there into our circle]
(1-6,HPS) [With a kiss I bring all the Lords into our circle]
(1-6,HP)
Well, we're all in circle and have a ritual for the moon to boot. Anyone have any input they would like some group thought on? We have a bit of collective thought to do later, also.
(1-5,Shadow Hawk)
I would like to thank the Lady for the fact that so little life was lost due to Hurricane Andrew.
(1-6,Ted & Nanette)
Blessed Be!
(1-5,Shadow Hawk)
Greg, Lars, Count, anything to add?
(1-9,Lars)
I would like to say thank you for a beautiful experience..
(1-4,Greg)
I would like to ask if we coulld raise dome energy to send to my mother in the hospital.
(1-6,Ted those without
should visualize one and procede along also. The physical world NEVER INHIBITS the realm we are in now. I want everyone to look into the flame of your candle.
Our computer desk is serving as an altar tonight, to make it a bit less hectic
. Anyhow, look into the flame and see the moon. So bright and full, this is the moon in your heart.
(1-6,HP)
Now look again into the flame of your candle, and see yourself in that flame.
See your life energy as it really is. The moon is your heart, the flame, and you life energy. It is one!
(1-6,HPS)
Let us pause for a moment and let yourself be one with the flame, the moon, and the Goddess. Feel the warmth. Feel the love. Know the Goddess. As the candle burns, remember not what was said, but remember what was done and felt. You and the Goddess are one.
(1-6,HP)
For those with candles, let them burn till gone. For those without, let them burn in your mind till dawn. For to snuff a flame before it's time really pisses-off the fire faeries!
Blessed Be!
(1-6,HPS)
So Mote It Be!
(1-6,HP) [Speaking to the HPS]
My Lady. My Love. Does thou wish at this time to become one with the Goddess?
(1-6,HPS) Yes, I do.
(1-6,HP) So Be It!
(1-6,HP) [I raise my athame and point it towards the HPS while saying]
My Lady, Tis I, once again, calling upon thee with the request for thou to join us now in this, thy high priestess. Lady of many names, Isis, Diana, Astarte, Aradia, Be with us! Lady of many ages, maiden, mother, crone, Be with us! With perfect love and perfect...trust I call upon thee, oh most beautiful mother of us all. Join with us now! Our hearts are open to thee. Our circle is open to thee. Our trust resides in thee. JOIN US NOW!
(1-6,HP) [Now for the online tricky part, I'll invoke the HPS and then type her response, maybe it'll work ]
(1-6,HPS) [Breathing deepens]
(1-6,HPS)
She weeps for the destruction and the pain, for she knows it is great.
But all is how it should be. Know that from death comes rebirth... And although much time is passing, we will be whole again. A large green ball...
Greg... See a large green ball...
(1-4,Greg)
