- TRUE WILL RITUAL
-
- After doing a strong purification, casting a circle, calling the
- quarters, and doing a strong "tree meditation" (as in Starhawk's
- Spiral Dance):
-
- o Visualize the essence of each of the elemental energies
- within and say affirmations identifying with each of the
- elements, and with what you affirm:
- - "I am Earth, I am centered and strong. I am the vessel
- through which my True Will manifests.
- - I am Air, I am focused. My mind is keen and tuned to
- reveal my True Will.
- - I am Fire, I have the power within to know my True Will
- and to act upon it.
- - I am Water, I am sensitive, intuitive, and magickal.
- The waters of my inner consciousness are calm, clear
- and clean. I am able to see into my depths and to know
- my True Will.
- - I am Spirit. I am all that is. I am Balance and
- Unity. I am that from which my True Will comes."
-
- o Consecrate a candle with five elemental tools and do a free
- form chant to dedicate the candle to aid in knowing your
- true will.
-
- o Light the candle and place it in front of you.
-
- o Gazing at the candle, meditate on the following, one at a
- time: Know thyself, areas where your are uncertain of your
- true will, your commitment to act on your True Will when you
- know it, and spiritual growth from knowledge of self.
-
- o Then chant until you feel unity with the light from the
- flame "Candle light, candle glow, inner sight, will to
- know."
-
- o You should then go into a trance and get direct messages
- from deep within.
-
- o When you have received what you need, tell yourself to
- remember your insights and take a few deep breaths and
- return to the circle.
-
- o Then say something like "though I extinguish this candle
- flame and end this rite, may I always be aware of the flame
- of will that burns within me, and may I always act according
- to my True Will, born of Spirit. So mote it be" and blow
- out the candle.
-
- o Do cakes and wine, ground, and dismiss the quarters and
- spirit.
