Maybe today is one of those gloomy days and you don’t feel so good. Or maybe it’s a triumphant day and you want to thank the whole world for the successes of your life.

Put on your favorite piece of jewelry. Cast your circle, alone or with your community, and light candles of your favorite colors. Going deosil (clockwise) around the circle, bless yourselves:

I bless myself
And everything that makes
the circle of my life.
I bless myself
And my past, which has made
me what I am today.
I bless who I am today,
For this is how I am in the world.
Who I am today pulls me out of the
past and thrusts me into the future.

I bless myself
And my uncertainties, my
potentialities, my future,
All that leads me toward
what I can be.
I bless and give thanks for
every day of my life.
