A ritual to Honor Beltane. Written by Lady SilverVixen
Need: Altar
Sunny Day (light from above if down at night)
Bowl of Water
(optional) Offering of sweet smelling flowers
Incense
Bare feet
Cast the Circle
Invoke the Quarters
Invoke Deity ( the maiden goddess is best as well as the young lord)
Meditate in front of your altar, find your center. Visualize yourself as a beautiful seed in the ground, slowly rising up because of the warmth of the sun (have your arms crossed on your chest). Your body is the dark green stalk. As you rise unfold your leaves (your arms) and open yourself to all things around you. As you open your eyes take in everything you see. Touch the water and bring it's energy into yourself, to nourish you. As the flowers absorb water through their entirety, and use the nutrients to help sustain life, so take in the same properties. Bury your feet into the earth as if they are your roots. Draw up the energy from the earth, and feel it fill you up entirely. Now focus on the warmth of the sun again. Soak up the solar energy and feel yourself growing and reaching for it's comfort. Feel your Energy Grow. Take a few deep breaths and feel the air around you. As you exhale, feel the energy slowly dissipating until it's gone.
At this time you can say a prayer or preform a spell prepared. Don't forget to thank Nature for it's helpful energy. You can do this any time for an energy boost or to ground yourself. Always remember that nature takes care of us and we her.
Give your offering if chose to have one.
Allow Deity to leave on their own- thank them for being present
Dismiss the elements- thank them
Open your circle- May the circle be open yet remain unbroken
