Imbolc / Candelmas

Here is what I plan to do tomorrow. You are more than welcome to "steal" it :)

Tools:

• purple candle in holder
• white candle in holder
• bowl of snow or chipped ice
• matches

Ritual:

• Cast circle
• Place bowl between candles
• Light candles
• Welcome Goddess and God
• Meditate on all harm and bad habits you wish to banish
• Meditate on all healing and good you want to bring into your life

You may use any variation of the following speech:

I welcome to earth the increasing light
The lengthening day and shortening night
I celebrate the Goddess fresh and young
I celebrate the God the growing Sun
The land shall soon begin to arise
Sleeping life will open its eyes
I offer my thanks as I light this flame
As the Wheel brings forth life again
With thanks to the Goddess the Lord awakes
Thanks to the Goddess and all she creates

• Continue to meditate until the snow has melted.
• Pour the snow down the drain, remembering you are purging the harm and bad habits.
• If you have not broken the circle to pour the water, do so now.

Remember, this is the Sabbat to re-welcome light, to begin new and better ways.

Peace
