Just a few days before Spring Equinox, the Moon is full in Virgo. This Virgo Moon is a good time to cleanse our altar space and the ritual objects placed there. This is also a good time to cleanse our own body and spirit in preparation for a new turn of the seasons. To prepare, gather a smudge stick of sage or cedar, a clear glass bowl, pure water, and sea salt. To cleanse the objects on your altar, it is good to take them one by one and remember what they are for. Light the sage stick and blow some of the smoke over the object. Call out its name and its power to you. Thank the object for helping you in your ritual and magical work. Ask for the object to retain its power and continue to support your work. Do this for all of the objects on your altar. After you are done, continue to smudge yourself all over your body and ask for help in cleansing and purifying your body, mind, and soul. Then pour pure water into the glass bowl and add a little sea salt to the water. Sprinkle dabs of water all over your body, on your altar, and the area where you do ritual work. While you do this, visualize a cleansing ray of white light enveloping your body and your ritual space and clearing it in preparation for future magical work. |
