Components of a Simple/Streamlined Ritual
GROUNDING AND CENTERING
Before you begin, it is important that you have all your tools together and get into the right frame of mind. We do this by grounding and centering. A good way to do this is to imagine yourself as a tree. Feel your roots in the ground that connect you to the Earth. Feel your branches swaying in the wind, connecting you to the Heavens. Take ten slow, deep breaths.
CASTING A CIRCLE
Pointing with your dominant hand, envision a blue energy or light emanating from your finger. Starting in the East, use the energy/light to “draw” a protective bubble around your space and yourself. Then starting in the East, walk around the circle three times. After the third circle, clap your hands or stomp your foot three times and say:
“This Circle is sealed! I consecrate it in the name of Spirit. Nothing but love and light may enter, and nothing but love and light may leave. I stand at the threshold between the Worlds, before The Veil of Mysteries. May I be protected and blessed.”
CALLING THE QUARTERS
Say something along the lines of:
“North, South, East and West,
I call upon your guardian best,
Earth, Fire, Water, Wind
To this Circle I invoke within,
Charge your powers, create a shield
A spirit wall may you build,
Protect this time, protect this space,
Protect this ritual in this place.”
CEREMONY AND SPELLWORK
Now is the time to proceed with any planned ceremony, spellwork, or meditation. Insert that here. Then say a prayer to summarize what you’re intentions are and send it spiraling out into the Universe to be manifested.
RELEASING THE QUARTERS
“Spirits of Earth, Fire, Water and Air
Thank you for your guardianship here.
May there always be harmony between us.
Spirits be gone, return to thy place, leave peace to reign in time and space.”
To recall your Circle simply point your finger and envision the light/energy being taken back into your finger.
