| *Ritual Design I* |
| ||||||
| Ritual Design Rituals will certainly be an important part of your new tradition. Save in rare cases (emergencies), or during spontaneous rites, all Wiccan rituals should include the Following: * Purification of Self * Purification of Space * Creation of Sacred Space (including the altar) * Invocation * Ritual Observance (and/or) Raising of Energy * Earthing the Power * Thanking the Power * Thanking the Goddess and God * Breaking the Circle As you well know, ritual observances certainly aren't necessary during every single Wiccan ritual, and neither is energy raising (magick). They're done when appropriate. However, the remaining ritual aspects are vitally necessary if your traditions rituals are to be Wiccan. The exact ways in which you observe these rituals necessities are, of course up to you. Following is the way one Solitary Wiccan might construct her or his basic rituals (allowing for changes depending on the occasion): * Purification of Self (bathe and / or anoint with oil) * Purification of Space (sprinkle fresh water of sweep area) * Creation of Sacred Space (set up altar; cast circle with athame; carry around salt, censer, candle and water.) * Invocation (pray to the Goddess and God, either with memorized invocations or with spontaneous words.) * Ritual Observance (perform rituals recorded in the Book of Shadows, If a Sabot or Esbat) * Raising Energy (it's a matter of choice when you prefer to perform this part of the ritual) * Earthing the Power (eating crackers and drinking wine, milk or water) * Thanking the Goddess and God (in spontaneous words or written words) * Breaking the Circle (cut circle with athame, draw energy back into the knife; dissemble the altar) This one method of fulfilling the basic requirements for a Wiccan ritual. Once you've found your own, discover precisely how these elements can be fit together in order to create a flowing ritual.
