Color of the day: Orange Incense of the day: Sage Incense of the day: Sage This ritual may be performed to purify and strengthen your auric shield. Outline a pentagram on the floor with chalk or salt. Make the pentagram large enough to accomodate you sitting in the middle on a stool. Gather five mirrors, and place each at the five points of the pentagram. Put a tea light candle on top of each mirror. Light sage incense, and place a bowl of water infused with rosemary along with a sprig of the herb in the center of the pentagram. Sit on the stool, pray to your personal deities, and begin to meditate. Listen to the rhythms of the universe, and clear your mind of all thoughts. Slow down your breathing, and gently keep your mind from wandering to any place other than here. Once you have passed some time in this manner, thank the deities, then take the rosemary sprig and pass it around your body three times. Dip the sprig in the infusion, and sprinkle the water from your head to your feet. When you have finished this ritual, pause to thank your divinities for your renewed strength. Extinguish the candles, and remove traces of the pentagram. |
