Here is the Ritual we will be having for Beltane, as I have several friends who are in need of a healing. Make sure you modify the wording according to your tradition.
We will scatter flower petals round circle as it is cast, Each time around chant:
“Blessed Be this sacred ground as we walk once (twice, thrice) round”
East: “Guardians, spirits, elementals, and powers of the east and of air, we ask your guidance and protection at our circle this day. Join us in celebrating this sacred season and the Lord and Lady.”
South: “Guardians, spirits, elementals, and powers of the south and of fire, we ask your guidance and protection at our circle this day. Join us in celebrating this sacred season and the Lord and Lady.”
West: “Guardians, spirits, elementals, and powers of the west and of water, we ask your guidance and protection at our circle this day. Join us in celebrating this sacred season and the Lord and Lady.”
North: “Guardians, spirits, elementals, and powers of the north and of earth, we ask your guidance and protection at our circle this day. Join us in celebrating this sacred season and the Lord and Lady.”
“Tonight is the lusty eve of May. Blessed be the fertile Goddess”
“Tonight is the lusty eve of May. Blessed be the Horned God”
“Tonight is the lusty eve of May. Blessed be the sacred marriage that manifests all creation.”
“We gather on this blessed day so that we might celebrate Beltane, the start of the fertile summer season.”
“In this moment between time, we come to praise the bountiful Goddess…and her God consort…Who unite today in sacred marriage. We wish to give thanks, and to feel our selves a part of the relentlessly turning wheel of life, death, and rebirth.”
(hold the Chalice to the sky)…”Behold the womb of the Goddess. The spring from which all life flows.”
(hold the Blade to the sky) “Behold the phallus of the God. The fertilizing principal of the universe. Blessed be the divine life force in all it’s many forms”
“Blessed be, our Goddess, bride of the heavens and earth. Let us unite with you in the ancient rite of sacred marriage.”
“Blessed be, our God, groom of the heavens and earth. Let us unite with you in the ancient ritual of sacred marriage.”
“Become one, (place blade into chalice)… You are One!!!”
“By this act of love, all life comes to be. By this act of faith, we proclaim our belief in our place on the eternal cycle of life. Blessed be the Great Rite. The Lord and Lady reign eternal.”
As this is the Sabbat for new beginnings, fertility of the earth and between couples, the Spring is the perfect time to ask for Healing as the Energies are strong and Fresh. So, now we will call upon the Goddess and God for healing. Right at this moment if you know of anyone who needs healing energies to surround them, say their name aloud. You can also state the reason the Healing Energies are needed if you wish. Remember healing can be for a physical illness, a mental illness, for someone who is simply in need of spiritual uplifting. Please state anyone’s name who is in need…
“May Love and light, laughter and pure Healing surround all of those in need, Lord and lady we call to thee!!!. As above, so below. ”
“Fertile Goddess of the Earth, Horned God of the hunt…
Spirits of the East (South, West, North…)
We thank you for your presence here
And ask for your blessing as you depart
May there be peace between us now and forever
Stay if you will, go if you must, in perfect love and perfect trust”
We will now close the circle in silence…
“The circle is open, and yet unbroken
May the love of the Goddess be ever in your heart
Merry meet and merry part
And merry meet again. Blessed BE!!!”
