Pan, your dancing around my life has done its part
Now chaos reigns, true to your art
I call upon your mercy now
Though to the good in your power I bow
Playful Pan, act benign
Let this chaos now decline.
So mote it be!

SOLITAIRE IMBOLC RITUAL
by Micheal Hall
Note - by Matrika - this ritual was written by someone I knew from the Boston MA. area a couple of years back. It is based on a combination of the lore of the Wicca and some of the afro-caribbean diaspora traditions of Paganism and Magick.
On your altar should be placed a circle of 13 stones and, within the circle of stones, a circle of 13 candles. Within the circle of candles should be spread some maize - i.e. corn meal - and in that a waxen female candle to symbolize the Goddess on your altar. On the eastern side of the altar should be placed a small sheaf of grain with a candle inserted inside it.
You should dress in your usual ceremonial garb for Magickal rites or skyclad, as you prefer.
Retire to bathe in salt-water (use sea salt) before the ritual. As you do so picture the water cleansing the soul and spirit, just as it cleanses the body.
When you have dressed, anoint yourself with a holy oil. When you have prepared yourself, sit in a dim quiet place and light a candle - ONE THAT IS NOT BEING USED IN THE RITES - and meditate on how at this time of year the Goddess in her fiery aspect AS LIGHT was welcomed back into the Temples and the Homes of the land.
Take this candle and walk slowly to your altar. Place it in the circle of the
13 candles. Then light the two altar candles, which are separate from the circle of lights also, and the incense. (Incense should be stick or powdered incense on charcoal in a swinging burner.) Then light all the quarter candles in the 4 directions, starting in the east and going clockwise.
Cast your circle in the usual manner, but Invoke the Goddess with the following:
"Sacred womb, giver of the secrets of Life, Mother of all that exists in the Universe, I ask your guardianship of this gathering and your assistance in my work. I am gathered in celebration of your gifts and my work is most holy. SO MOTE IT BE"
Invoke the God in the following manner:
"Fire of the sky, guardian of all that exists in the Universe, I ask your guardianship of this gathering and your assistance in my work. I am gathered in celebration of your gifts and my work is most holy. SO MOTE IT BE"
(continue with the circle casting if it is not already finished)
Light the 13 candles and then the Goddess candle in the center and say:
"Warm and quickening Light
awaken and bring forth beauty
for thou art my pleasure and my bounty
LORD and LADY
OSiRIS AND ISIS" (or you may substitute whatever names your circle uses for the God and the Goddess - or those you personally prefer)Reflect a moment on the coming of the light and offer up the incense.
Say
"O ancient Ones
Timeless Goddess and Sacred King who art
the heralds of springtime and it's bounties
be with me now in celebration
Hail to Osiris and Isis
Harvest giver and blessed Lady
Let this be a time and a place sacred to your power and your beauty
SO MOTE IT BE"
Light the candle in the sheaf of grain and hold it up with the loaf of bread in the other hand and say (or the cakes - whatever you or your tradition uses for the cakes and wine/juice ceremony)
"My Lord and Lady, as the seed becomes the grain, so the grain becomes the bread, Mark the everlasting value of our seasons and their changes. "
Break a piece of the bread or cakes off and burn it as an offering in the central candle.
Then say
"In the deepest Icy Winter the seed of the Earth lies deep within the womb of the Great Mother. The Spring brings the heat of the Father and with their joining comes new life. The completion of the cycle brings food to the children of the world. As I taste the food I shall know the wisdom of the cycles and be blessed with the food of wisdom throughout my life"
Consecrate cakes and wine/juice in the usual manner and partake of them, but first raise your chalice or drinking horn and say
"Hail to thee ISIS
Hail to thee Osiris
For thou art blessed"
After this commune in meditation with the Lord and lady for a while, then close the circle in your usual manner.

In 1886, once repairing an old lay in Somerset, England, in the cover space was found partially a dozen broomsticks, an old chair, and what is now premeditated the preliminary recorded find of a Witches' Ladder. It was a reel of braided tie, looped at one end for handing, with numerous cockerel knock down threaded out of action the tress.
Exhibit dine been numerous theories as to its behave, the peak into at the time, and in the following living, was that these ladders were for nefarious reasons, ranging from embezzle milk indistinguishable from the neighbours' cows, to causing deaths. Later theories were bigger benign, with the ladders storing healing magick and wishes.
All of these theories are resolved hypothesis, grant has been no earlier signal to the use of a witches' stepladder, or that they were cast-off at all by witches! Anthropologists likened their use to things cast-off in folk stories from Scotland to Italy.
In half a shake, the Witches' Ladders are cast-off to bind magickal intent. They alike come in unusual unique guises, some are braided, some are forceful, but all asset the common intention of natural tie and knock down. Several tress three cords together, and forty winks nine knock down in, likewise spaced, chanting once the stepladder is created so lock in the magickal intent. Additional are forceful procession, tying the knock down in place. Many use specific coloured tie, comparable to magickal intent. The magnitude of knots or knock down can be unique too.
My ladders dine evolved from the braiding hoax, using a immature bit of hedge-witchery. I cut nine pieces of natural procession, about the reel of my arm from command to move tip. No petition for measuring tape here! I tress together three sets of three lengths, and as a consequence I tress these three lengths together, all the from the time when I apparition be chanting words specific to my intent.
The magnitude three is a powerful magnitude in witchcraft, and in fact in numerous of the world's spiritual systems.Watchdog, border and spirit; earth, sea and sky; Maiden, Father and Crone; God, the Son and the Superhuman Self-control. The Celts saw the magnitude three in this way, and three era three heart that much bigger powerful. It is from the Celts that witchcraft gains much of it's practices.
I use colour magick in my ladders, using colours that exchange a few words to my magickal intent. Assume green for prosperity, orangey for warmth, red for love and outlandish for healing. I use a mixture of knock down, beads and charms, three knock down, three beads/buttons and three charms, three era three. I tie these during the stepladder behind schedule I dine all-inclusive braiding in principal in the same way as of the practicalities of design. Not morally is it terribly fiddly and brutal to likewise space nine trinkets once braiding, but numerous of the beads and charms don't dine big quite holes for the procession to go through! Hedgewitchery is all about practicalities, grant is nothing magickal about harassed and needing two pairs of hands. So, the knock down are threaded out of action the tress, but the beads and charms I tie on using cotton twine, forceful three era. Of course, all the from the time when, with each charm, drop or spine, I am chanting my intent.
Dearest and hugs

Fire ritual bath salts are infused with herbs and aromatically, therapeutically, and magickally charged to strengthen the magick within you and all around you. Dissolve some fire ritual bath salts in a warm bath &, while soaking your body, allow your mind to still and focus your thoughts only upon your desires.
Fire bath salts are excellent for purification, raising sexual passion, and strengthening magickal energies
FIRE is sometimes known as the living element. It is perhaps the most ancient symbol of divinity. Fire is a living principle of duality, providing light and heat to aid humankind, while at the same time being a force of death and destruction. The eternal flame is a common theme in ancient Mystery Cults and typically represents the eternal presence of Divinity. Among the ancient Greeks, Hestia symbolized the divine living flame, as did Vesta among the Romans.
The ancients believed that fire could lie hidden in a piece of wood. By rubbing two pieces together the fire could often be coaxed from the wood. Once fire was produced the ancients often transported the flame on the end of a giant fennel stick, a custom that later associated fennel with the forces of light. The connection of fire as the living spirit latent in wood drew worshippers to establish and maintain sanctuaries for their deities within the forests, long after the creation of towns and cities. According to ancient legend, statues of deities were encased in a bundle of branches and transported to a new location when another sacred grove was to be established. In this manner the "fire" of the deities' spirit was conveyed from grove to grove.
In modern WICCA, Fire is one of the four creative elements. It is traditionally linked to the color red, although this does differ among the various traditions. As a magickal agent the element of fire is symbolized by a ritual tool. Some traditions assign elemental Fire to the ritual blade because the blade was forged in Fire. Other traditions assign it to the wand because of the use of wood as a torch. In astrology the zodiac sign Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are associated with Fire.
