What are you waiting for?

The following is a fairly good ritual for the Upcomiong Full Moon which falls this year on March 3rd (3-3). Although there are many who would argue with me, I would in the STRONGEST terms caution against using this or anybody's else's ritual verbatim. You have to make it your own. The imagry and symbolism must be something that creates an emotional response in you. Hey, what can I say,,, I am eclectic - LOL Blessings, Eugene March Full Moon Ritual Moon of the Wind Setup Items needed for this ritual include: A besom broom or a bundle of twigs, straw or heather; Six gemstones or crystals to use in place of candles for the altar. One in each color for directions/elements according to your tradition. Two white quartz or purple amethyst for the Goddess and God. Background March is a time to make ready for spring. Waters run freely from snowmelt, and bright yellow daffodils beckon the sun’s warmth. Nights are still tinged with frost, but it is time to begin preparations for spring; time to clear away winter’s rubble from the garden and from your life, both physical and spiritual. The ash, which is a tree for part of this month, is one of the traditional materials for a besom broom along with birch and willow. Besoms are used frequently in fertility rituals and handfasting ceremonies. Associated with the element water, they not only sweep physical dirt from an area that is to be made sacred, but also psychic dirt and negative energy. Alder, the other tree of March, provides strength and courage to clear away things from your life and to start fresh. In this time of clearing away and making ready for spring, use your besom to symbolically remove negativity from your life. Action begins with intention: tonight send the intention to clear out anything that may be holding you back or preventing you from growing in some way. The Ritual With your broom touching the floor, walk around the perimeter of your circle while saying: In the earth life is stirring, Winter’s gone, now awake, To the rhythm of the quickening, Bring life forth and magic make. When you return to where you started, say: By the magic of this besom, sacred is this space decreed. After speaking, place the gemstone or crystal on the altar for each respective direction and deity. Spirits of Earth, I beckon ye from the North. You have sustained me through the winter. I now ask that you help me stretch and grow. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. Spirits of Air, I beckon ye from the East. With your mighty winds of March I ask that you blow away the staleness of winter. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. Spirits of Fire, I beckon ye from the South. Purify my heart and life as I clear away the remnants of winter. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. Spirits of Water, I beckon ye from the West. Bathe me in your cleansing streams as I prepare for the months ahead. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. I beckon ye Dagda, Great Lord of All. As spring gains a firm foothold I ask that you help me prepare my path ahead through the coming months. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. I beckon ye Dana, Great Lady of All. As the warmth of spring approaches I ask that you help me open my heart to receive your guidance. Join me under Luna’s watchful gaze. Hold your broom in front of you with both hands, handle pointing up. Raise it so your hands are at chest level and the brush is resting gently on the floor. Close your eyes and draw earth energy up through your body and through the broom. Feel it come up through your spine to your heart center and through the besom, along your arms to your heart. Feel this strong connection of your energy, Mother Earth’s energy, and the spirit of the besom. Feel this combine into one smooth flow. Give thought to what you need to remove and clear away from your life. Spring is almost here and it is time to make ready for new spiritual growth. Just as you clear a garden for the new season, so too must you clear you soul and psyche. When you have fixed your mind on the things that need removal, open your eyes. Move to the center of your circle and raise the besom above the altar. Walk around the altar with your broom raised above it. When you get back to where you started, draw your besom up, over your head in an arch and down to the floor. Sweep along the floor from the center and out to the edge of your circle. With each motion visualize that you are casting out the things you want to remove from your life. Once you reach the edge of the circle begin sweeping around the perimeter as you chant: Besom broom of power and light, Cast out darkness; set to flight Things unwanted that hinder me, This is my will; so mote it be. When it feels appropriate, bring the chant and movement to a halt. Use your usual method for grounding energy. Face each direction, respectively, while speaking. Face the altar for the Goddess and God. The stones or crystals placed on the altar can remain there. Dana, Great Lady of All, thank you for your guidance in removing that which is unwanted and unneeded from my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Dagda, Great Lord of All, thank you for your help in sweeping away negative energy from my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Spirits of West, of Water, thank you for washing away that which is unneeded in my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Spirits of South, of Fire, thank you for burning away that which is unwanted in my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Spirits of East, of Air, thank you for blowing away that which is unneeded in my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Spirits of North, of Earth, thank you for removing that which is unwanted in my life. Thank you for your presence in my circle this night. Stay if you will; go if you must. I bid thee farewell. Star light; star bright It is time to take flight. Besom sturdy held upright, Off I go through dark of night. Blessed be. Copyright - A Year of Ritual Llewellyn - Sandra Kynes Found Online at http://www.kynes.net/ritual/ritual-mar.htm
