Join us in the Sacred Mists Circle.

As the Wheel turns once again to that point where the veil between the worlds grows ever so thin...join us in a sacred ritual for our Samhain Sabbat Celebration!

Preparing for the Ritual

REQUIRED PREPARATION:
We will work together to release what we wish to remove from ourselves and fill that space with something positive.

Before the ritual, you need to send an email to the Crone. The email you will use is studentservices@sacredmistsacademy.com. Please put CRONE in the subject so that we can be sure to place the information correctly.

You will write an email to Her, stating what you wish to rid yourself of and what you will fill that place with. This may be likened to the mundane "New Year" resolution for those new to this. However, this is not saying, "I'm going to exercise more," but should instead be worded as, "I am giving up my procrastination about implementing the exercise program I know will work for me." With this, you'll give something to the Crone you will be rid of as she takes it from you. As with all things, a void is created when something is given away. You will then need to replace this void with something else. This is where your "resolution" will come into play. You will want to fill that empty place with something that will bring you greater peace and a deeper connection to yourself and the universal divine.

Lady Lorien and Lady Lilyth will receive these emails directly and be kept in the strictest of confidence. We will work with them during the ritual in a private way, sending them to the Underworld with the Crone, to return nevermore unless you call it back.

Consider what you will be giving up wisely... and be sure you are truly prepared to begin anew.


OPTIONAL PREPARATION:
Decorating your altar with orange, black, and white candles for this season is recommended.

Remember, these are not required as we will set up the Sacred Mists Altar for all students. However, if you would like to have them present in your space as well, the items are as follows:

1) 2 Black Candles - Ideally, you do have these if at all possible during ritual

2) Lighter/Matches/Etc.

3) Candle Snuffer (for the brave, moist fingertips work as well)

4) "Cakes and Ale" - some sort of carb-food and wine/apple cider/etc. For eating and drinking after the ritual.

Plan to arrive before the ritual to begin grounding and centering. The Samhain Sabbat Ritual will begin promptly.
