New Home Blessing
After moving in, preferably
after you get your furniture where you want it
and at least some boxes unpacked,
take a night of the waxing or full moon
to do the following ritual.
This is a very basic, simple
ritual. You need nothing more than a chalice
of water, some salt, and a
white candle. Before you begin, make sure all
windows are closed.
Cast a protective circle by
envisioning a mirrored shield of light which
encompasses your entire home.
Call upon the Lord and Lady and ask that your
own patron or patroness (if
you have one) be with you and aid you as you
bless your new home.
Bless the water and the salt.
Take three pinches of salt and place them
into the chalice of water.
Stir three times deosil with your forefinger.
Holding the chalice aloft,
say:
"Lord and Lady, I ask tonight
Bless my home with love and
light.
Make this a place of comfort,
I pray,
And keep it safe both night
and day.
May only good things enter
here
And from negativity, keep
it clear."
Going deosil around your home,
sprinkle the salt water. Chant "Lord and
Lady, bless this home," or
something similar, as you go. When you come to
windows and mirrors, make
protective signs on them such as pentacles or runes.
After you have finished, thank
the God and Goddess for their help and
presence. Again going deosil,
open all the windows (at least for a little
while, depending on the weather)
and let the element of Air in. (With the
water and salt, you've already
used Water and Earth.) Now light the white
candle, allowing for the element
of Fire, and see the light from the candle
add to your protective shields.
Allow the candle to burn all the way down.
Do not take down the protective
circle you have cast around your new home!
Instead, when you are through
with this ritual, envision doorways where
your home has doors. Make
these doorways just like physical doors, able to
be opened, closed, and walked
through by you and yours.
A Simple Self Dedication
materials:
3 white candles,1 red candle,a
sweet smelling incense,1 cup of water
and a quiet private place.
on the night of the full moon
place the 3 white candles in the form of
a triangle,place the red candle
in the center,the water to the left of
the candles and the incense
to the right.begin by meditating and
calming yourself,light the
white candle thats at the tip of the
triangle and envision white
light shooting up from the earth into the
candle,light the remaining
candles9not the red one yet) while saying
your name then light the incense
and carry it around the candles while
saying:
On this night I come before
the elements asking for the Guardians to
arise.Open the path,open the
gates,open the way,I am here!"
Now light the red candle and
say why you have chosen witchcraft or the
way of magick and be very
honest!
Stand in the form of the pentagram
and say:
"Earth Mother I invoke you"
stay in this position for a
few moments,kneel before the candles and
take the water,pass it through
the incense and over the candles while
saying:
"Bless me Earth Mother,with
this water charge your energies inside"
Put the cup down,place your
palms over it while envisioning a white
light coming from the earth
filling the water and say:
" As to earth,as to me,may this water purify me."
Hold the cup over your head and say:
" Open the path,open the gates,open the way,I am here"
Drink the charged water,put out the red candle and say:
" Great Mother Blessed Be, I am charged, So Mote It Be !
Let the white candles burn
them selves out
Casting A Circle
1.remove any animals,children
or what ever that may be a
distraction,also any furniture
that you dont want in the circle.
2.set up your altar before
you cast your circle.
3.locate north and holding
your wand out from your body(if you have a
wand if not use youre power
hand),go into alpha and see the wands aura
extending out from it,especially
at the tip.
4.visualize the tip of the
wand creating a circle of light and energy
like a laser as you walk clockwise
around the area.The circumferance
drawn by the wands tip will
be the edge of your circle,project white
light out from the wand to
create the circle as geometrically perfect
and say to your sefl that
it is.
5.Walk the circle the 2nd
time around and say out loud: I cast this
circle to protect me/us from
all negative and positive energies and
forces on any level that may
come to do me/us harm,I draw into this
circle only the energies and
forces that are right for me/us and the
most correct for my/our work
6.Walk the circle the 3rd
time and say:I create sacred space So Mote
It Be !
7.Invoke the 4 directions
and energies of the elements,angels and
powers that reside in them
by using the athame,sword or index finger
to draw an invoking pentagram
as you face each direction,use a ritual
spell of invocation or one
you write for yourself
8.To open a circle hold the
wand/hand out over the circumference of
the circle and beginning at
the north walk once around the circle
counterclockwise as you say:I
send this circle into the cosmos to do
my bidding the circle is undone
but not broken.
