at Weavre's house

Theme: Nesting

Cleansing

-----MT smudge with sweetgrass and sage

Attunement

-----Crystal passed among each of us, while standing in a circle and toning "Home"

Sacred Space

-----East-MR
-----South-MT
-----West-JR
-----North-AH
-----Center-MH
-----Invocation of Rhiannon-Weavre

Enactments

1. Blessing the candles
-----Set up & light white candles around the central crystal, with polished tumbled stones among them.
----------(Weavre, during invocation)
-----Circle energy blessing. In a circle, each of us reaches to center, picks up a candle or does not, then rotates outward, spreading positive energy out through the house.

2. Blessing the home with the candles
-----Candle walk in darkness, leaving spoken gifts in each room with the lit candles.
-----(Leave candles safely in each room.)

3. Defining the kind of home we're creating
--A--Create nests in library, while singing "Make for yourself a Power Spot!"

----------Make for yourself a Power Spot!
----------Get you a spoon and a cooking pot;
----------Bring Air, bring Fire, bring Water, bring Earth,
----------And you a new universe, shall birth!"

---------------(Note: it's "birth," not "burst" at the end of the last line)

--B--"Cuddle in bed." (nests) Talk segue-what have we created?
----------(*Weavre's Note: This idea was Danica's, offered in response to, "What's your favorite thing to do with your family in your house?" We loved it!)

Grounding

--C--Food and affection:
---------- J and Bee will serve milk, cereal, cider, and cinnamon graham crackers in bed.
----------Weavre will give everyone a tumbled stone from the center of our circle, as a gift and tangible symbol of our ritual for other homes.

Release Sacred Space
