My Patron Deity Invokation for Freya
(This is how I did it, and my feelings after I had done it)

Prepararation

Firstly I gathered some Birch Leafs, I tried to find the other herbs that
had to do with her, but I couldn't find any at home. Then I cleansed my ritual tools.
As I am a newbie, I only have a portable Altar, so it contains of two white candles in
black glass candleholders, a small glass(for water), a little black glass cup to hold
the salt, a similar glass cup to hold my incence (I use lavender incence) and a metallic
bowl as my cauldron. I have no Athame, Bolline or Wand, yet. Also i had the paper
with my invokation to my Goddess written on it. Then I undress myself totally naked
(I was alone at home, when doing this). I sat down and cleanse and released myself as
we have tought us in our two first lessons. After that I was ready to Cast the Circle.
I followed the instruction below, and I will put my own remarks in it, when needed

To Cast the circle

First, ground and center yourself. Stand with both feet firmly on the ground, and relax
your arms at the sides of your body. Simply feel and visualize the energy of the Earth
below you, and the Sky above you. Face one of the directions, and physically reach down
with your arm and gather the energy of the Earth into your hand. Reach up to the Sky and
gather the energy of the Sky into your other hand. Now scoot down near the ground and
face your palms outward, sending that energy into a smooth wall of colour that will
spread itself into the shape of a circle. Rise up as you do this, shaping and smoothing
the wall at this corner. Repeat this at the other three directions, constantly smoothing
and shaping it with your hands. At each direction, the circle gets stronger and thicker;
there are no gaps because the energy of the circle constantly swirls around evenly. See
the energy as a thick, fluid stream of colour. It also flows under the ground, to even
itself out as a complete sphere. You can shape it underground by visualizing it through
the floor. Solidify it by visualizing the energy of the circle as sticking together, like
hot glue or warm honey. When you feel the circle is 'set', all you have to do now is
keep it in mind, and perhaps make minor re-adjustments if you feel it is necessary. Take
as much time as you need, and don't rush. No-one's holding a stopwatch. Don't be afraid
to move around spontaneously; no-one's marking you on grace or coolness. And most
importantly, don't be afraid to screw up; that's an important way to learn.

My invokation Ritual

Cleanse your space, cast your circle, call your element(als). Generally,
calling the Goddess is done in a 'Goddess position': arms and legs outstretched.
Calling the God is done in a 'God position': feet together, with arms crossed across the
chest (no, you don't have to do it that way). In doing the actual calling, you may or
may not have something written down, or you might decide to adlib something; whatever
suits you is fine. While you are reciting the call, visualize in your mind how that Deity
looks to you. Are they short or tall, blonde, brunette, or redhead? Are they strong
willed, poetic, young or old? How does their 'soul' look to you, what colour is their
aura, what kind of personality do they have, how do they make you feel? Send out a
call to this image, asking them to come and join your ritual. The hard part is learning
how to call with your mind while you're reciting a spoken call. :)


My Invokation Call

I lighted my candles and the incence, and put myself in the position as
to invoke the Goddess.In this case My Patron Deity : Freya. And then I Affirmed:

I invite You, Freya to my circle. Come and join me, as I want to celebrate our joyfull,
good and createful time together. Come and let us have a silent, quiet moment time
exchange thoughts and just be here.


Rituals With Freya

When she came, and she did. I felt her precence and electric vibration
in the air. I had my Exercise that is done with Lesson 2 (Beam of light, Ball of Light
and Rainbow) and my "Psycic Shielding" as I always do every evening. It was a Magick
moment, as I could feel her watching me in my every rituals.I also did my cleansing and
releasing as always.


End Ritual With Freya

When I was finished with my Rituals. I Affirmed:

Thank You, my divine Goddess Freya to have joined me. I am glad You came, but now the
Ritual is over. Thanks for visiting me. See You soon, again. Merry We Part.


Take down the circle

At the very end of ritual. After the Deities are gone, the Element/als
have returned to their respective realms, etc. etc. etc. The only thing that generally
follows taking down the circle. Take the circle down exactly the same way that you set
it up, in reverse. Take as much time to take it down as you took to set it up. Send the
energy back into the Earth, the Sky, or wherever you chose to get it from. If you used
the energy from the Earth and Sky, then it's a good idea to change it into healing
energy for our planet and our skies before you channel it back. I finished with a pound
on the ground and say: the circle is open but never broken, we are the people,
we are the power, we are the change, merry meet and merry part until we merry meet again.
After that was done, I cleansed and released again, to be sure that no energy was left.
I dress myself and cleansed all the used tools. I pack them down during whistling.
Why I was whistling I don't know, but I felt happy.

My Feelings After this Invokation

What can I say, it was a powerful,to Cast the Circle as I did,
which took me about 45 minutes, or more. And then Invoke the Goddess, do my rituals
and do it in reverse order. I think I was occupied with it for a about 2 ½ hours,
and I enjoyed every minute of it. My circle I vizualized was the colour of the rainbow,
and was shifting as waves on the water. When I first read it on the internet, as I found
it on a page on how to do it. It seemed to be a hard one, but it was actually a lot easier
than I ever could have imagine. I recommend to do it, as it really is something that
get Yourself in touch with Your Patron Deity, or any other Goddess or God, You will get in
contact with. I will have this Ritual done at Our 8 Sababts and also when it is a Full Moon.
