Yule ritual
Dec. 21st, 2010 09:47 pmIt went very well.
I cast the circle and invited the Maiden, Warrior, Mother and Crone in as guardians of the quarters, in the names of their daughters, each a dead woman who had touched me in some way. As I invoked each, I extinguished the candle for that direction.
Only the goddess candle burned, and though I invited her,m I noted that she too had been blotted out, leaving us in the darkness of the longest night, for the Sun candle went unlit, since he is far away.
We called him back, with fire and entreaty. And the Wheel turns on.
Also, it appears there is a Grove (like a coven, without hierarchy) starting up.
