Self-Cleansing Ritual

Adapted by Samminka

Needed:

Censer, God and Goddess candles, Element candles, juice or wine, 

bread, salt water, a wand for casting/closing the circle, any other 

items you want/need there.

*Cast the circle

*Invocation of the Goddess:

I greet the Lady and call upon thee Mighty Mother of us all, bringer 

of all fruitfulness. I ask you, Mother, to descend upon my circle and 

reside within me, thy priest/ess.

*Invocation of the God:

I call upon thee O Great Father, Sun and Consort of the Mother, who 

brings her light and warmth. Come forth Mighty Horned One. Live now 

within the body of this thy priest/ess.

*Cleansing:

Anoint forehead with salt water:

I cleanse my thoughts that they might be pure and honest - grant that 

they always be pleasing to the God and Goddess.

Anoint throat:

I cleanse my voice that all I say might be for good and naught for ill 

or harm

Anoint heart:

I cleanse my heart that it might be open, giving, and full of light. 

Grant that I might give freely of my love and care to others.

Anoint hands:

I cleanse my hands that I might use them for workings of good, to help 

and never to harm.

Anoint feet:

I cleanse my feet that they might take me far in life, that my 

journeys may be filled with love, light, peace, and joy of the Goddess 

and God.

*Meditate for a bit, focusing on your breathing, maybe listening to 

some soothing nature sounds like rain, or ocean waves.

*Eat the bread and drink the wine or juice to restore the energies 

spent during the ritual

*Release the circle, and thank the God, Goddess, and Elements for 

attending your ritual.
