FULL MOON RITUALS

BASIC PETITIONING RITUAL

Basic Altar Set up:
Altar tools
2 White Candles
Moond Magic or Goddess Incense
Small Cauldron or Heavy Bowl
Chalice filled with Wine or Juice
Pentacle or Altar Dish
Salt & Water in separate small bowls for
casting the circle, consecration of tools
or Cleansing Stones & Crystals
Ritual Cakes (optional)

Have a petition written out on a piece of white paper. This should be a request for Healing, meeting your financial needs, protection, or whatever else you need the help of the Goddess for. This is not a time to ask for anything negative!

*Charge the Salt & Water. Cast your circle, calling upon the watch towers, return to the altar facing East.
At this time you will want to summon the Lady & the Lord by chanting the "Charge of the **Goddess, and the Charge of the God. You can omit the charge of the God if you are performing a solitary ritual, or you are a small group of females. However, I prefer to have the rituals balanced e.g. ying/yang effect.
Drink from the chalice visualizing blue electric light moving through your body.

Be Simple, tell the Goddess what you need her help for, then burn the piece of paper with your petition written on it. You should light the petition with the Goddess Candle which is on the left side of the altar, then put the petition in the Cauldron to burn. As the peition burns, visualize your prayer (request) as fulfilled. Then thank her for granting your request.

If you are working alone or in a very small group you may want to do additional works such as consecrations, etc.
At this time you may consecrate any new tools, or materials that you will need for performing healings, or other works such as mojo bags for charms, herbs and talismans, etc. This is also an excellent time to cleanse any crystals you have in the salt water mixture.

When you are finished with your workings you should close the circle, then dismiss the watchtowers. If you would like you may celebrate with cakes, or bread.

*Casting the circle, the Charge of the Goddess and the God and calling the Watchtowers can be found in the Book of Shadows section (BOS).

HOUSE CLEARING/PROTECTION RITUAL

Supplies:

1 White Candle
Sandalwood or Dragonsblood Incense
Ground Sage
High John or Dragonsblood Oil or
substitute with Olive Oil
Wine, Juice or Water

I rewrote this from another spell we found on the net because we didn't have a black candle in the house. Not only that our deity is Cerridwen not Hecate.
Light a white candle calling on Cerridwen, asking for protection. Have water or wine in a chalice or cup, as you drink it visualize that it is pure cleansing energy. Light the candle along with incense just after you cast your circle. Then Say:

"Cerridwen, Lady of Inspiration and Transformation,
we call you here to put things right again."
"Transform the negative thought and pain and help our life be whole again."
"Lady share with us this wine.
Bring your protection to flood this life of my family and mine"
"May the waters of your eternal womb bring change most divine."
Take a sip of wine or water, visualizing it as pure liquid energy, see this energy filling your home. (remember to save some of the liquid to give to the outdoor sprites)

Then state your petition, burn some sage in a bowl, cauldron, shell etc. carrying it through the house chanting "negativity be gone". Go back to the altar asking Cerridwen to replace the void you have created in your home with protective energy and spirits. Then thank the Lady and Lord for their help, and dismiss the quarters.
