In the United States, we celebrate our Independence Day with parades, fireworks, and family gatherings. Make this the day to celebrate your own independent spirit—raise your power with fire, dancing, chanting, drumming, or whatever your wild heart is drawn to do.

A simple way to raise power is by using sparklers. Whether solitary or in a group, light your sparklers and raise them high. As you do so, chant something like this:

I am one with the Air that moves me.

The Goddess/God is within me.

I am one with the Fire that ignites my power.

The Goddess/God is within me.

I am one with the Water that flows through me.

The Goddess/God is within me.

I am one with the Earth that grounds me.

The Goddess/God is within me.

Remember, ritual doesn't have to be complicated. Be confident in your power and work your magick in a way that suits your needs, personality, and personal connection to deity.
