Samhain Ritual adapted and personalized by WolfCiara
Stuff to use
Pumpkin Seeds
An Apple
A White Handled Knife or Bolene
A Plate
Your Wand or Your Index Finger
Some White Candles
Some Incence
2 small sheets of paper
A pen
Place upon the altar pumpkin seeds and the apple.
Prior to the ritual, sit quietly and think of friends and loved
ones who have passed away. Know that they have gone on
to greater things.Keep firmly in mind that the physical
isn’t the absolute reality, and that souls never die.
Write on one paper things You want to be free from,
Write on the other paper a pentagram to place on the plate.
Arrange the altar, light the candles and incence, and cast the Circle.
Invoke the Goddess and God.
Lift the apple and, with your knife,
pierce the skin of the apple. Remove several seeds and
place them on the plate. Raise your wand/index finger,
face the altar and say:
O Sun King, through the sunset,
I mark your passing on this night of Samhain ,
of all who have gone before,
and all who will go after.
O Sacred Goddess, Earthly Mother,
You who gives birth to the lost ones,
teach me to know that in worst darkness
there is the brightest light.
Taste the apple and pumpkin seeds, and remember the summer that has gone by.
Light a fire within the cauldron with the candle.
Sit before it holding the piece of paper with Your wishes,
gazing at its flames. Say:
Wisest One of the New Moon,
Goddess of the twinkling night,
I create this fire within this cauldron
to release the things which is distracting me.
May the energies be opposite:
From dark to light!
From bad to good!
From death to life!
Light the paper in the cauldron’s flame and drop it inside.
As it burns, know that your ill diminishes, lessens and finally
leaves you as it is consumed within the universal fires.
Release the Goddess/God, take down the Circle.
Clear and release as always.
Leave the plate of seeds on the Altar
over night. Take it away next morning.
