Summer Solstice Ritual
Developing the new spirituality involves the
natural rhythm
of the Earth and the energy of the Goddess.
The new spirituality has to bring together the
creating male Divinity
and the life giving female Divinity.
Bringing in the Divinity of the Child too.
See our webpage about this subject.
In the Nag Hammadi scriptures this threefold
of Divine energies is named Bardelo.
Also we have to think of the important
spirituality
of the Divinity who dies and resurrects out of
death
to open the gate of eternal life to forgiven
souls.
This description of the Summer Solstice Ritual
is only
a first start. We are still developing texts.
The text we privately using is taken from
examples of other authors,
so we are unsure about the copyright.
This is the reason we are not giving text yet.
Nevertheless the order of the Summer Solstice
Ritual
is very clear to us.
So here it is.
The Summer
Solstice Ritual.
The ritual can be done by a single person,
by a group of persons.
Out in the open spaces or in the house.
Before starting the ritual a choice has to be
made
of elements that are suitable for the occasion.
Personally we like the Ritual at sunrise.
Opening of the
Ritual:
With a prayer candles, herbs, incense,
are brought towards the center of the ritual
space.
Is it necessary to have an altar?
Probably not, but a nice clean place where all
the ingredients
can be rested is very respectful.
The song should mention the wheel of the Earth,
coming into position again.
The Sun is giving life to the planet and the
living beings.
The elements should be called upon.
The compass directions being the four corners
of the planet.
The faeries and powers of nature.
Asking the
Divinity to attend.
The Goddess to give divine minds.
The Creator.
The Child who is the fruit of Love.
The Circle is cast, beginnings and endings
meet.
Blessed be.
Anointing with
oil.
With respect and solemn the oil is handed
around,
to put some oil on forehead, heart, hands,
feet.
Open my mind,
Cleanse our Hearts,
Set our hands to the work of the Goddess,
Guide our feet,
this is the beginning of Summer.
All wishes come true.
Love reaches its full development.
Solstice Poem.
The poem can be made
by people present.
We embrace all the
sad people,
the lost people, the
lonely people,
the poor, the misused
people.
The poem can be
spoken from the muth of the Goddess:
I am the defender of
every mother.
Spiral Dance.
We are the dance of
the Moon and the Sun.
We are the Child in
everyone.
Candle Ceremony.
With a respectful
handing around everybody
has a burning candle
in the hand.
The wheel of Light
goes clockwise.
Gemstone
Ceremony.
The stone of Love,
the Rose quartz
has a major role in
this.
Love is part of
everything I do.
Turning to the
essential Center.
We all turn to the
center,
join hands and a song
is sung.
The song could be:
We are one with the
Mother,
we are one with the
Light of the Creator,
we are one with the
Peace of the Child.
Let us forgive like
the Child.
Let us Love like the
Mother.
Opening the
Portals.
With a respectful text
we concentrate upon the Creation.
We think of
opportunities to bring Love,
we think of new
starts that are possible,
we think of changing
our lives into a blessing.
The special
Ritual with Incense.
The unbroken wheel of
Life.
Endings are
beginnings.
By the Light of the
Sun negative energies are taken away.
Ofcourse incense is
being burned.
Incense makes our
prayers smell nice.
Sanctification.
This is saying thanks
to the Universe,
saying thanks to the
renewal of the Sun,
special blessing to
all who have touched our lifes,
as messenger of the
Light.
Journey on.
Let us journey on,
Children of the earth.
The End of the
ritual.
A good bye song.
Good bye blessings.
We will hold you in our hearts.
We will hold you in our minds.
Our roots will be entwined.
Guide our feet on the path of growth,
on the path of Love,
on the Path of Light,
on the path of Peace and Forgiveness.
Also this webpage needs a lot of development.
We hope you will enjoy
this first outline of a Summer Solstice Ritual.
