132 Creating Circles & Ceremonies mind gets too active, and scary random images pop in). But this chant can be used for many occasions by just changing a couple of words: Great God, Great Goddess, Protect me with your love and light, Great God, Great Goddess, Let no nightmares touch me this night. While I say this, I imagine a white light spreading from my core outwards throughout my entire body, pulsing with love and protection. The chant is very effective! You can also substitute evil and negative energy for nightmares—basically, you could substitute in there anything you wanted to keep away.! 150. T he Unicorn Visionary Spell I am the watcher of the night Protector of your dream I am the one to comfort you Silencing your screams I am Magick, I am love I am a wish come true I’m anything you want me to be I live inside of you I am playful, I am bright, I’m magickal and fair I am like a ray of sunshine Blinding rain’s discouraging glare I am the watcher of the night Soother of your screams I am the mighty unicorn Guardian of your dreams —Adella DragonStar 151. Dragon Visualization Spell I am the protector of the weak With magick in my eyes A simple breath of fire from me Would be a big surprise I will guide your given path When you need a hand Just call upon your inner self To help you understand When times of life are sad for you And nothing at all goes right Call upon me to get you through I’ll help you in the night My job is to protect and guide Teaching rights from wrongs Helping you to harness powers Steering you all along I am the mighty dragon So magickal and true Whenever you need a dragon I’ll always be there for you. —Adella DragonStar A Witch’s Banishing Ritual By LaSara FireFox This lesser banishing is a simple and profoundly effective way to clear ritual space, cast the Circle, and call on the guardians of the gates in one fell swoop. It is a beautiful piece of ritual when executed well, and can be modified to encompass your group’s orientation. This modification of the lesser banishing ritual was created by myself and assorted ritual partners over the years. Throughout the instructions, I give you options that will allow you to modify it further, and ideally to make it your own. A Witch’s Banishing 1) Practitioner enters Circle. 2) Other participants follow in a clockwise flow, creating a loose circle around the practitioner. 3) The Tree of Life, performed at the center of the Circle: a) Practitioner points index and middle fingers of right hand, folding other fingers. b) Touching her forehead with the extended fingers, she says, “I am I.”
Book II: Rites & Rituals 133 c) Pointing to the sky she says, “in harmony with the heavens.” d) Pointing to the ground she says, “with the Earth.” e) Touching her right shoulder she says, “with the sun.” f) Circling to her left shoulder she says, “and with the moon.” g) Bringing her hands to the prayer position she says, “for ever and ever.” h) Lying left hand palm down on top of right hand, palm up, she says, “So it is.” i) All participants say, “So it is.” 4) The Banishing a) For the banishing, you can use whatever words make you feel that the guardian, entity, energy, or intention of a Direction has been made present. This can be done by assigning a goddess to each Quarter (e.g., Aurora in the East, Pele in the South, Oshun in the West, and Kali in the North), or by saying the Direction or an idea that the Direction represents (e.g., inspiration in the East, passion in the South, regeneration in the West, wisdom in the North), or you can use any of the words that have been used by any ceremonialists. There are many, and you can easily find them by doing a web search on the lesser banishing ritual. b) Practitioner walks to the eastern edge of the Circle and draws a pentagram in the air with her finger or her wand. In drawing the pentagram, start at the left lower corner. This is basic invoking pentagram. c) Starting with her arms at her sides, she slowly raises them, focusing intently on the pentagram she has drawn in front of her, and the word she will use to invoke the Direction. d) Once her arms are pointing out from her shoulders parallel to the ground, the practitioner will bring her hands to the sides of her face, with palms facing back. e) Next, she steps forward with her right foot, and while forcefully thrusting the energy with her hands towards the direction she is facing, she says the word out loud. f) She will then step forward with her left foot meeting the right, and bring the index and middle fingers of her right hand to her lips in the sign of “shh…” (This is the sign of the initiate. For more information on the significance of this sign, do your research.) g) Next, the practitioner will go to the South, and do the same, using whatever word she has chosen for the South. h) The same in the West. i) And in the North j) And she completes the Circle at the East. 5) The Center a) Again the practitioner stands in the center of the Circle, facing East. She stands with her arms outstretched at her sides, parallel to the ground. b) All participants face East and stand the same way. c) All say: “Before me the rushing wind, behind me the raging sea, to my right hand the leaping fire, and to my left hand the cool and trembling Earth. For about me is the omnipresence of her body, and within me is the consciousness of the continuity of existence.” 6) The Tree (the practitioner performs the cross again as in step 3) 7) Practitioner joins Circle, all face the center and sit or stand. Simple Home Rituals and Ceremonies By Moonwriter • While showering, make a ceremony of stepping under the shower and out again four separate times, making a quarter turn each time (for the four Directions). During the first two dips say, “I am being purified. Misfortune is being washed from me.” During the second two, say, “I am being purified. I am being washed clean.”
