Preparation

Storm and Garnet light the purple candle saying:
"Awaken now, Spirit of the Old Ways!"

Attunement

After a few minutes Nonnie and Blade begin trance drumming.

Casting the Circle

Garnet casts the circle, walking deosil around the circle with athame, visualizing a line of blue fire growing at the edge, and saying:

I conjure thee, Circle of power,
to form a boundary between the material world of humanity
and the realms of the spirit,
a guardian and a protection
to preserve and contain
the power we will raise within.
I bless and consecrate this circle.
(so mote it be!)

Asperging

Garnet touches the athame tip to the water and traces an invoking pentagram saying:
I cleans and purify thee, creature of Water
casting out all impurities which may lie within.

and then to the salt:

I bless thee, creature Earth
that you may dwell within our circle tonight.

Storm pours 3 athame tips of salt into the water and walks clockwise around the circle sprinkling it with salt water.

Stating the Purpose

Storm holds Athame above head with both hands and says:
Hail to the Elements at the 4 quarters!
Welcome Lady and Lord to this rite!
Welcome Guides and Ancestors!
We stand between the worlds with love and power all around!
Set down the Athame.

Raising Power: Spring Fling lead by Dan

Garnett takes wind chime or bells and says:
Ring out Peace, Sing of harmony that never ceases,
A spell born with the wind, by the breezes.
Begin Healing power of my rhyme,
Saturate with magic this little chime.
Hang chime on or near altar.

The MONEY/PROSPERITY EGG spell...

Storm dresses a gold candle with patchuli oil as he explains what we are about to do. He lights candle and passes a brown egg shell that has been filled with herbs around the circle. Each member is encouraged to write something material or financial that they want on the egg. Later Storm and Blade will bury it near a tree to release it's power into the Earth.

Cakes and Wine

Garnet Blesses the cakes/breads/food saying:
This food is the blessing of the Lady and The Lord,
given freely to me.
As freely as I have received,
may I also give food for the body, mind, and spirit to those who seek such of me.

Libations for all. Garnet first, then Storm, then deosil to rest of group.
