Basic Ritual

This ritual is the base for most of the simple Rituals. It is easier to begin doing rituals by using this base, and even a very experienced Witches tend to use it from time to time, it is simple and many rituals can be build according to it.

1. Cleaning the area- more about this.
 

2. Preparing the Altar, lightening the candles.
(This depends on what rite you wish to conduct, each rite's requires different preparations.)
 

3. Casting the circle.
(My ways of doing this are in the rites section.)
 

4. Welcoming the Elements-more about this.
 

5. Welcoming the Helpers-more about this.
 

6. Stating the purpose of the ritual.
(State it to yourself for a better focus. Know what you want to do and the Universe will also know what you ask of it.)
 

7. Magickal working or devotions.
(There's a LOT to be said about that...!!! This is the main part of the ritual.)
 

8. Raising the energy, releasing the energy.
(For the Magick to work- this is a simple act of thinking about bringing the energies and letting them go.)
 
 

9. Grounding-more about this.
 

10. Thanking the Helpers.
(Simply say thank you.)
 

11. Thanking the Elements.
 

12. Closing (sometimes called Opening.) the circle.
(This part is also stated in my rites section, it's simply gathering the energies back to the Earth.)
