A Litha Ritual
by
Darkhairedcrone
As at Beltane, the altar should be
bright and colorful, as should you. Place flowers on the altar and wear them in
your hair. Dress the altar in your usual tools and adornments, and be sure to
include a small cauldron, burning charcoal and bits of wood. Have a small bowl
of loose seeds of any type close at hand. Ground
and center with these words: This
longest day is a source of joy. Its
brightness and warmth I shall employ. Cast
the Circle with a wand, athame, or stalk of flowers: The
Wheel moves on from dusk to dawn. Now
I know I shall reap what I sew. Invoke Directions:
From
the East comes wind, cool and clear. Be
with me here today. Come
spirit with thoughts and words so near. In
this Circle stay. The
South brings fire to the summer sky, Be
with me here today Come
spirit with passion riding high In
this Circle stay. From
the West come fog and mist and rain Emotions
shall be felt again In
this Circle stay. Beneath
my feet is the soil of Earth, Be
with me here today North,
nurturing, our place of birth In
this Circle stay. Invoke Deities:
Isis,
Istarte, Diana, Hecatate,
Demeter, Kali, Inanna Be

In
the middle of summer On
this day of great length I
stand in my Circle With joy and with strength! Magickal Working:
Stir your cauldron to create flames.
Take the bowl of seeds in hand, and slowly cast three small handfuls of seeds
into the flame. With
the first handful say: Prosperity! With
the next say: Protection! With
the third say: A
bountiful harvest of my dreams! Pause as you watch the flames turn to
smoldering embers, meditating on your dreams, and the prosperity and protection
you seek. See them coming to you. When you are ready, chant joyously: God
and Goddess, now I see Your loving blessings come to me! Dismiss Directions and Deities:
