IMBOLC RITUAL!!!

So tomorrow is our IMBOLC RITUAL...

What will it entail... pretty much gathering round... chatting and then magick time...

PAGAN RITUAL - Druidic - Imbolc/Brigid

(can be easily adapted to group ritual or just a ritual for brigid herself to be used anytime)

Midnight Altar - Incense

Urn of water as a healing well

Quill or artist’s brush to represent poetry or art

Wand or staff (rowan preferred)

3 white candles and 1 red candle

PINK CANDLE


Open ritual in your usual way, then recite the druid’s prayer:
*
All: Grant us Spirit, your protection
and in protection, strength
and in strength, understanding
and in understanding, knowledge
and in knowledge, the knowledge of justice
and in the knowledge of justice, the love of it
and in the love of it, the love of all existences
and in the love of all existences,
the love of Spirit and of all goodness.
*
Light incense and red candle:
*
“I call upon the ancients:
The wise ones now deified, bear me up
The ancestors bearing witness, record
The dragons here gathered, recognize”
*
Invocation of Brigid:
*
Brigid, beloved, hear my prayer
I tend your flame in adoration
O fire of service, flame of peace
*
Brigid, beloved, fire my forge
Fan my flames of creativity
Thru words and art the world may heal
*
Brigid, beloved, inspire me
May your own flame always ignite mine
As I endeavor to serve the world
*
Lift the urn of water:
*
“As winter melts into spring, may the earth bring forth her healing waters.”
*
Dip a finger into the urn and touch it to your forehead:
*
“May this year find me healthier than last.”
*
Return the urn to the altar.
*
SINGING BRIGID HOME
Lift the quill or artists brush and pass it thru the smoke of the incense three times:
*
“Come Brigid, maiden fair,
Lady of glorious flame
Poet and muse
Incite within me
Most passionate art
Bless-ed fire my own
Fevered, my soul expressed (return quill to altar)
*
Pick up the wand or staff, tapping the ground three times:
*
“Come Brigid, maiden fair
Lady of glorious flame
Rowan wand or staff
Tap the earth to warm her
Dark, icy snows melt
Filling healing wells
Our suffering dissipates (return wand or staff to altar)
*
Pick up the red candle and light the three white ones:
*
“Come Brigid, maiden fair
Lady of glorious flame
Purveyor most divine
Fresh inspiration
Throughout all the earth
One flame lights the next
Enrichment sung full flourish (return red candle to altar)
*
LIGHT THE PINK CANDLE:
*
“Come Brigid, maiden fair
Lady of glorious flame
Goddess or Saint
Ancient path or new
Kiss now EROS THE GOD OF LOVE
LET HIM IGNITE OUR PASSIONS
AND SET OUR HEARTS AND BODIES ALIGHT!
*
Face altar:
*
CLOSE QUARTERS!!!

Imbolc is a good time for many tasks:
· transplanting indoor plants to larger pots
· cleansing and consecrating ritual tools and garb
· cleansing one’s home or office
Imbolc activities might include making a Brigid doll or likeness; or making a Brigid’s cross:

BLESSED BE
