TO BLESS SEEDS AND BULBS
Place them on the Pentacle, raise it up saying:
"Mother of us all, Lady fair,
Bless these seed of life and love
Give to them a beauty rare
Filled with fragrance from above.
In moist, warm soil of earth
They will go in honor of Thee
Dearest Mother, Queen of Birth
In thy name, they'll blessed be.
And every day walk through the garden thinking of the Goddess and loving the
plants. The plants will be blessed with abundance.
BLESSING THE EARTH FOR PLANTING
O gentle Air, we do come before Thee
To ask that your gentle tender breezes kiss
The plants that will come forth.
O fearful Fire, we do come to ask that
Your hot heat be but a gentle warmth
To help the plants grow.
O Water of Life, we do come before Thee
To ask your gentle waters to bring life
To the tender plants that come forth.
O Great Mother, let thy dark womb care
For the tender seeds, to push them up when
The time is right for the plants to come into full bloom.
We do thank Thee Diana. Mother of All Living Things and Giver of Life.
Blessed Be.
(offer wine to Lord & Lady – ground may be consecrated with element before
planting)
SUNSET BLESSING
Upon the sea and to the West
head O' ancient one to your rest.
From time out of mind you've taken this quest,
to rise again a marrow blessed.
But this day is over and night's begun
farewell to thee O' setting sun.
With souls departed on your ship,
they travel West their final trip,
Into the other world they go to rest,
may this song I sing see them three times blessed.
In colors orange, pink and red,
I say farewell to my beloved dead.
All that's done is in the past,
never forgotten, but to last.
To begin anew like the Spring,
as blessings in the songs I sing.
So depart thee now into the sea,
and in my memories always be.
SELF BLESSING
Ed Fitch. From the early 1960's
This should be performed at the New Moon or at other time of need. It is not to
be performed promiscuously.
May be used as a minor dedication or as a minor exorcism to banish any evil
influences which may have formed about the person.
Perform this ritual in a quiet place, free from distractions, and nude.
You will need the following:
Salt - about ¼ teaspoon.
Wine - about an ounce.
Water - about ½ oz.
Candle
The result is a feeling of peace and calm. It is desirable that the participant
bask in the afterglow so that she may meditate and understand that she has
called the attention to the Godhead to herself, asking to grow close to the
Godhead in both goals and wisdom.
When you are ready to begin, sprinkle the salt on the floor and stand on it.
Light the candle. Let the warmth of the candle be absorbed into your body. Mix
the water into the wine, meditating on your reasons for performing the self
blessing.
Bless me Mother, for I am your child.
Dip the fingers of your right hand into the mixed water/wine and anoint the
eyes.
Blessed be my eyes that I may see your path.
Anoint the nose.
Blessed be my nose, that I may breathe your essence.
Anoint the mouth.
Blessed be my mouth that I may speak of you.
Anoint the breast.
Blessed be my breast that I may be faithful in my work.
Anoint the loins.
Blessed be my loins, which bring forth the life of men and
women as you have brought forth all creation.
Anoint the feet.
Blessed be my feet, that I may walk in your ways.
Remain and meditate for a while.
