Calling the Quarters

Category: Book of Shadows, Mama Kelly's Musings, Wicca & Paganism | Written by Mama Kelly

As I wrote recently some old friends and I have decided to come together, across the distance, and have a ritual together.  Each of us will hold circle at the same time in our own respective homes and if this goes well it will be something we come “together” to do monthly at the full moon.

My job was to write the quarter calls.

I can still remember writing my first ritual in preparation for my third degree initiation.  How nervous I was and how important it was (to me) for my ritual to be “perfect.”  Of course, there were other rites composed over the years, but it has been a long time since I’ve had to write anything down formally.

Generally, the solitary rituals I have done over the past years have been comprised more of spontanteous invocations and words spoken from the heart of the moment.

It was a little nerve wracking, as obviously I wanted my friends to be pleased with what I came up with, but overall it just plain felt good.

I share these here in case they may serve your own purposes at some time or another.

Blessings

    Here’s quite a sobering thot:
    Doesn’t matter what we think -
    not everyone makes Heaven when they die

    GOD BLESS

    I could be hurt or angered by your comment, but I’m neither. I am, instead, sad that you limit your notion of the Divine with human qualities such as pettiness, vindictiveness, and narrow mindedness.

    Blessings to you!
