Cleansing Ritual

Tools: Cauldron filled with Salt Water.

Cast the Circle

Invocation of the Goddess: "I greet the Lady and call upon Thee Mighty Mother of us all, bringer of all fruitfulness. I ask You, Mother, to descend upon my Circle and reside within me, Thy priestess."

Invocation of the God: "I call upon Thee O Great Father, Sun and consort of the Mother, who brings Her light and warmth. Come forth Mighty Horned One. Live now within the body of this thy priestess."

Cleansing: Anoint forehead with salt water in the sign of the Celtic Cross and say:

"I cleanse my thoughts that they might be pure and honest - grant that they are always pleasing to the God and Goddess."

Anoint your throat in the sign of the Pentagram and say:

"I cleanse my voice that all that I say might be for good and naught for ill or harm."

Anoint your heart in the sign of the Pentagram and say:

"I cleanse my heart that it might be open, giving and full of light. Grant that I might give freely of my love and care to others.

Anoint your hands in the sign of the Pentagram and say:

"I cleanse my hands that I might use them for workings of good, to help others and never to harm."

Anoint your feet in the sign of the Pentagram and say:

"I cleanse my feet that they might take me far in life, that my journeys may be filled with love, light, peace, and the joy of the Goddess and the God."

Meditate for a time. After you are done, you may have cakes and wine (to replenish the energy spent during your Ritual).

Close the Circle, thanking the Goddess and the God.
