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.
