The New Moon in Sagittarius...beginning of the 13 moons thru 2022
Originally written as a Rite for a Solitary Practitioner, but can be adapted for groups
- Cleansing bath or shower
- Earthwork{in the chop wood, carry water idea: I raked the last of the leaves} (or barefoot dancing) & composting (or some other representation of you participating in the cycle turning with a fresh, clean start), both as mundane to mystical energy raising in your own body and to connect with nature, outdoors, Mother Earth | Gaia | Mokosh
- Sky-clad (Grab a wrap as needed for comfort), light 4 candles in the 4 directions; choose those of the season and intention (i.e.: last of the Hallows candles, a pine candle from yore, and others), and light incense &/or anoint oneself with oil) chanting the following to sanctify the space: ( _ means make that note longer)
- CHANT:
- Ground and center quickly; invoke the elements
- CHANT:
- Longer grounding and centering: Meditate on the greater whole of the multiverse being made up of the sum of the elements; connect self. If you want, you can use ADF's Two Power Meditation, imagining pulling energy from down deep in the Earth, among the crystal pools of water, into your own body, and then up through the air into the fire-y heart of the Stars and Sun Eclipsed Moon, into your own body {can play music or a drumbeat or a guided meditation} (ADF Two Powers for large groups)
