Daily Devotional
I had thought that I had already posted this but I can't find it now. A friend was asking what I do for my "daily" devotionals so I thought I would re/post it.
Assure there is water in well and matches to light fire
Begin with grounding and centering meditation,
Attempt to hold throughout devotionals.
Once center is achieved touch the representation of the tree and then bring hand to lay over the chest
Blessed spirit of earth, home of humanity and the spirits of nature, bring to my shrine your divine power.
Oh sacred body of the mother, be welcome to my grove.
Touch water in well and bring to lips
Blessed spirit of water, eternal substance of life, connection to the ancestors, bring to my shrine your divine power.
Oh sacred flow of life and death, be welcome to my grove.
With match light sacred fire, pass hand through flames and touch forehead.
O blessed spirit of flame, giver of warmth and light, flesh of the Deities' flesh, bring to my shrine your divine power.
Oh sacred reflection of the heavens, be welcome in my grove.
Raise Hands to Sky
Beloved and Honored Ancestors,
Blessed and Noble Spirits,
Glorious and Shining Gods and Goddesses,
I offer you praise this day.
Honor me with your protection
Teach me with your passion
Guide me with your wisdom
Be with me this day, and forever more
Sit silently and hold meditation (Goal 10 - 15 minutes)
So Be It
Extinguish flame and begin day
Assure there is water in well and matches to light fire
