Initiation Circle for Self Preparation for an Initiation Circle should be thorough, all things MUST be to hand in Circle centre, to leave something outside would disrupt a one off Ritual, and the energies would be dissipated never to be raised to that frequency again. You should bathe in a warm bath before beginning Ritual, which has Thyme/Sage herbs that can be run under the hot tap/faucet, while the bath fills. Removal of any personal hair should take place now, to allow freedom of sensation later in Circle. Your make up on this occasion, should be for the most amorous date you could imagine - you are presenting yourself to the Gods, so Mascara, blusher, lipstick, eyeliners are all acceptable. You hair should be free, not tied or pinned. No watch should be worn - all rings and other Jewellery should be removed, save your Necklace and Talisman. You will put on your Robe, and tie with the White Cilingulum, loosely. Your items for Circle should include as essential, the following items, Anointing Oil - mixed from the following at about 6/1 with a carrier oil such as Almond/ Grapeseed. Patchouli, Myrhh, Frankinsense. Robe - Black, opening from front. Caligula - White Cord. ( Witches Belt) - tied with the 9 knots as shown in early instruction documents, the final one ending in loop, to allow insertion of a Stang, - not required for this Ritual ) to create Circles around a centre point easily, and of a distance sufficient for ones working. Charge of the Goddess on CD, to allow playing of such as inner Circle is open, check batteries or lead to CD player is ok. Consecrated Quarter Candles - using personal technique and fluids advised. Incense - A good Spiritual blend would suffice - it should be heady, but not overpowering. Spring Water. Charcoal Blocks -( and something to burn them in ). Sea Salt Crystals. Wand. Athame. Illuminator Candles of Silver, and Gold.
Red Wine. Chalice. Bread - in this case Hand made small loaf. ( As Lammas is so close to date). Pentacle Plate. Length of cord or String sufficient to encompass inner Circle when cast, large enough to allow you to lie down on your back, and arms spread to forma Pentagram. Some fresh flowers in a vase to decorate the inner Circle. A Needle. Any Poems, Oaths of dedication,etc, that you feel will enhance the experience, and written in your own words. All doors should be firmly locked in the property that you choose to work your Circle of Initiation, and the phone firmly turned down, or mansion left on. No Children should be at home during this ritual, its intense, and very personal. Cats/Dogs should be outside the Circle room- Mobile phone should be at hand, but on silent as to not allow disturbance at any point, but there if needed suddenly. When all preparations have been made, it is time to cast the outer, first Circle. Face the East, and take your Athame in your power hand and call your greeting ( as you have mastered the Welsh Language for this, use this call). Lower the Athame and see the Blue /white light emanating from its tip, as you walk to the South, and repeat the call of greeting again in Welsh. Continue to cast the Circle with your Athame, next West, again allow the Athame to cast with its light, and end at Earth.? At this point, in English now, Call " I cast this outer Circle and call upon the Goddess In her Maiden form to bring protection and blessing to my working tonight" Step backwards one pace. Begin casting the Second Circle, following the actions of the outer
Circles order, using the same calls. When you reach North, and have called the element of Earth, again, in English, Call " I cast this inner Circle and call upon the Goddess In her Mother form, to bring protection and blessing to my working tonight.". Step backwards one pace. You are now ready to cast the final Circle, within which are all your assembled items. In the East, your Altar should be set with flowers, the chalice, the Pentacle Plate, the Silver Candle to left as faced, the gold Candle to right as faced. Your Wand should sit facing you on the Altar. The Quarter Candles should be in their positions, and ready for lighting, the Incense stick holder below Air, the bowl for Fire below fire, the bowl for water below water, and the bowl for earth below Earth. These you will fill with each correspondence offer as you light the Quarters, and the Quarters will all be called in Welsh. Once you have called the quarters, you may open your Robe fully, and face the Altar, leaving enough space to lay back, and spread arms and legs in Circle. Kneel before the Altar and call, " I call upon the great Mother, Lady of the Moon when Full, and in its aspects of Maid, Mother and Crone, to hear my calling to the Craft, and admit me to join the many who have assed before with your blessing. I have studied the Ways of the Witch, for a year and a day, and ask that I be recognised as a Witch by the Gods, and those Brothers and Sisters in the craft who make themselves known to me as genuine. I hold you to bear witness that I will never reveal the act of acceptance to anyone, and will protect and maintain the highest ideals as I practice from this day onwards. I will show compassion to all, but suffer no fools, I will heal if asked, but not seek out, should you gift me these powers. I will respect those who have gone before me, and endeavour to protect the Craft, and its heritage where possible. Lady of the World, Skies, and Seas, I ask that you bear witness to my Symbolic Union with the God, in this Circle tonight."
Take the anointing Oil, and place on your fingertips enough to moisten and mark. Mark first your anointment point, above your pubic area - if shaven, just above the Clitoris. Then your right breast nipple, on to the left breast nipple, and return to above your Clitoris at starting point Call - "Thus I anoint myself with sacred Oil, in recognition of the Three." Take your wine, dip in your oiled finger and repeat the same procedure. Take your fingertip, and anoint your lips, Call, " Again, I consecrate myself, as Priestess, and Witch." Dip your finger in the Oil and Wine, and anoint your feet,and knees. When this is done, Call. "Great God As Witch and Priestess, having vowed to maintain the faith of the Wise, I offer my body to you, to do as you will, use me as your Chalice, fill me to overflowing, may your touch be felt on feet, knees, Vagina, and breasts, and may your sweet lips touch mine many times and breathe into me knowledge of all things. I do this in the presence of the Goddess, as her envoy, and all I do from this point I do willingly, and without question, so long as it does not cross the laws of the land an emperil me or any other in any way. I have been brought to this Circle by Destiny, and although My Priest cannot attend me to undertake the Great Rite on the Gods behalf, should this be possible in future times I will consumate my pact with the Gods in the manner of the Great Rite, Privately, and with no malice aforethought, for I know that the Act of the Great Rite between Priest and Novice, in actuality drains each time a little of his life force. This I swear, and may my Tools turn against me should I break this Oath. As a sign of my compliance to the Gods, I offer my Blood as bond, laid on my Athame, and plunged within my body to seal the pact." Take the needle, prick your finger once only, sharply, and allow the Blood to fall upon your Athame. Take the Blade, and insert it within your Vagina slowly, deeply, to seal the bargain. Afterwards, lay upon the Altar until closing Circle. You will now remove your Robe to be fully naked before the Gods alone, and take the wand, symbol of the Priest and God who cannot be present,
and begin the act of the Great Rite, arousing yourself by stimulating your nipples with the oil of anointment, and then your Clitoris, until it resembles a small wand growing larger. When you are wet to satisfaction, insert the Wand, handle first, into your body, penetrate yourself to a comfortable depth and slowly, and gently, perform intercourse with the Gods Symbolic member. You may indulge yourself in any way on this night - you are free to do as you please with the God alone, if you choose to go further than just Intercourse with his symbol, you may penetrate yourself forward and backwards if that is your desire. You alone, are now in control as a Witch, and all the things that you may have expected or desired of the Symbolic stand in Priest are acceptable - nothing will shock the Gods only your hesitation to fully embrace the Act. When finished, and your Orgasm will tell you this,, rest a little, break the bread, and call, "May I never hunger" as you eat a little bread, save some for the animal world outside. Pour the wine into the Chalice, Call" May I never thirst", Splash a Libation for the Gods if possible, or save and pour outside later. Close the Circles, last first, thanking the Elements in English this time, and the Gods. Tidy up your room, and retire to bed. You may be a little sore, but this will pass, and from now on, you walk this World, and the Unseen Worlds, as a Witch. Merry Meet, Merry Part, and Merry Meet Again. Blessed Be.
