The High Priest Steps Forward To Give The Invocation of the Goddess

Come to us Moist Mother Earth.  Come to us and take your ease.  You have
labored long and hard to bring forth your bounty, so that we your children may survive.  Come and relax, for well have you earned your rest.  Eat and drink your fill, sing, dance, and be merry, for  you have done well, and there is
plenty for all.  And, if it pleases you to ask for the favors of one of us as
well, may you find satisfaction there too.  We shout your praises, for you are
the essence of fulfillment, love, and joy.  You are the most beautiful, and
beyond measure is your grandeur and greatness.  May we never forget that we  are a part of your Sacred Body, and may we work to preserve it in all of its
myriad forms.  All hail the Great Mother!

       (I am the celebrant with the salt vessel symbolizing the element of earth)

I am your Mother.  From me come the fruit and grain and animals which feed
you. I am your support, and my pull on your bodies keeps you held firmly to
me.  Without me you would die.  Am I not holy and worthy of praise?

I now walk deosil around the circle bowing at each corner.

(I am the celebrant with the water vessel symbolizing the element of water)

I rise from the moist crevices of the Earth, I beat on the shores of Her body,
I fall from the skies in silver sheets. Without me you would die. Am I not
holy and worthy of praise?  (Celebrant asperges the circle with water)

I now walk deosil around the circle bowing at every Corner.

  (I am the celebrant with the candle symbolizing the element of fire)

I live in the guarded embers of campfires and the pilot lights of stoves, I
spring from the lightning and the hands of men, I warm you and I destroy you.
Without me you would die.  Am I not holy and worthy of praise?

 I now walk deosil around the circle bowing at every Corner.

      (I am the celebrant with the incense burner symbolizing the element of air)

I am everywhere.  I fill the fleshy pouches of your lungs, I stir all things
from the smallest blade of grass to the tallest tree. I cool you with my
breezes and destroy you with my storms.  Without me you would die.  Am I not
holy and worthy of praise?

 I now walk deosil around the circle bowing at each Corner.

Blessing, Consecration, and Procession of the Elements Now Begins

Four members of the coven who have been chosen beforehand now approach the
Priestess.  Each holds one of the following: an  incense burner, a candle, a vessel of water, and a vessel of salt.  Each in turn approaches the Priestess, recites their piece, receives her blessing, and then processes deosil around the perimeter of the circle while stopping to bow at each of the quarters.

(If you have any of these objects that you would like to be blessed, hold them to the computer screen at this time. Repeat what the member has to say to the High Priestess)

The High Priest Faces  West:

Guardians of the watchtower of the west, we do summon, stir, and
call thee up to protect us in our rite.  Come forth from the rainbow hued
morning dew that covers the fields, and is soon to be frost.  Asperge us with
your diadems and water our deepest roots that we may find peace of mind.  So
mote it be!

The High Priest Faces South:

Guardians of the watchtower of the south, we do summon, stir,
and call thee up to protect us in our rite.  Come forth from the cook fires
and smokehouses where food is being made ready for the coming cold months.
Kindle within us the flame of spiritual awakening.  So mote it be!

The High Priest now approaches…..

The Quarter Invocations Will Now Be Preformed

The High Priest Facing East:

Guardians of the watchtower of the east, we do summon, stir, and
call thee up to protect us in our rite. Come to us now on the cool breath of
Autumn’s sigh which heralds the advent of Winter and the close of harvest
time.  Breathe into us the spirit of the pure joy of life.  So mote it be!

The High Priestess uses the grain to walk behind each of us and cast the sacred circle, while chanting….

The High Priestess:

Birds circle hungrily overhead
As through harvested fields we tread.
The smokehouse fires and burning leaves
Their scents do spiral and interweave.
Ripples circle in our wake
As rice we harvest from a lake.
The dusty Earth now shorn of locks
Swirls as pass our fattened flocks.
Much bounty may our harvest see
As we cast, so mote it be!

Wishing You A Very Blessed & Prosperous Mabon Dear Friends & Family!

Hail and Merry  Meet to all those who have gathered here today, In the name of our most Divine and Holy Mother, The Goddess. And To Celebrate the Harvest of Mabon!

There is chaos all around us. But we just take time from the world’s problems and now focus on ourselves. It is our time to rejoice and give thanks to our great Mother for the harvest and bounty She has bestowed upon us. We are to sing Our Mother’s Praises to the top of the roof. For She is our all with out our Holy Mother, we are nothing.

Today in honor of our Great Goddess and our love for you. Mystie and myself will be casting an online ritual for you. There is nothing you need to do except if the Spirit moves you to add a “So Mote It Be” when needed. We would also ask that you have patience with us. WordPress does not let both of us in this account at the same time. So we might have to log in and log out. If that happens, please we ask that you quietly pray for us as we try to perform this feat for you.

Quiet, please….

The Ritual is about to begin,

Now enters the High Priestess carrying her basket of grain……

Mabon Ritual

Mabon Ritual

(circa September 21)

Decorate the altar with acorns, oak sprigs, pine and cypress cones, ears of
corn, wheat stalks and other fruits and nuts. Also place there a small rustic
basket filled with dried leaves of various colors and kinds.

Arrange the altar, light the candles and censer, and cast the Circle of Stones.
Recite the Blessing Chant.
Invoke the Goddess and God.
Stand before the altar, holding aloft the basket of leaves, and slowly scatter
them so that they cascade to the ground within the circle. Say such words as
these:

Leaves fall,
the days grow cold.
The Goddess pulls Her mantle of the Earth around Her as You,
O Great Sun God,
sail toward the West to the lands of
Eternal Enchantment.,
wrapped in the coolness of night.
Fruits ripen,
seeds drop,
the hours of day and night are balanced.
Chill winds blow in from the North wailing laments.
In this seeming extinction of nature’s power,
O Blessed Goddess,
I know that life continues.
For spring is impossible without the second harvest,
as surely as life is impossible without death.
Blessings upon You,
O Fallen God,
as You journey into the lands of winter
and into the Goddess’ loving arms.
Place the basket down and say:

O Gracious Goddess of all fertility,
I have sown and reaped the fruits of my actions, good and bane.
Grant me the courage to plant seeds of joy and love in the coming year,
banishing misery and hate.
Teach me the secrets of wise existence upon this planet,
O Luminous One of the Night!

Works of magick, if necessary, may follow.
Celebrate the Simple Feast.
The circle is released.
