I Did It! Work in progress...

Imbolc



Purify self:  shower with rosemary and salt and visualize letting go of the past

Purify space:  burn rosemary and pine on a charcoal disc prior to ritual

Sacred space:  yellow altar cloth, wheel of the year disc with white candles anointed with frankincense oil at points and orange anointed candle in the center



Cast the circle



Recite Blessing Chant:

            I call upon the source of all creation,

            The mother Goddess and father God,

            Along with the spirits of the elemental realms

            To bless this time, this place and I who join with you in celebration.

Invocation:

            Goddess—Mother Goddess of sky and sea

                        Create in me inspiration’s light

                        I call to you to be with me

                        Join me here for Imbolc’s rite.

            God—Father God of sun and forest

                        Awaken again from cold slumbering night

                        I call to you to leave your rest

                        Bring to the world your Imbolc light.



Rite:    Festival of light as the Son returns

            I welcome rebirth as the fire burns



Light the candles

Write my goals for the year and any plans I would like blessed



            In myself let feel your rebirth bright

            Breathe in me inspiration tonight

            Burn for me a path to tread

            Nurture your world from darkness to light

Burn my list and let it smolder in the cauldron



Simple feast of dairy and spice:  pepper jack cheese and milk

            Lord and Lady bless this milk and cheese

            Products of your love’s bounty

            May it feed me with your loving spirit

            Thank you for this meal.



Reflect on the hope and promise of a new season of life and creativity.  Thank the Lord and Lady and spirits of the elemental realms.

Close circle.
