ONE MORE TIME....
 
Begin by cleansing the area your circle will be cast by smudging the area.  Before casting the circle, have each person enter the area one at a time and bless or anoint with special oils.  These can be made or use something that is pertinent to the undertaking.  I like to make my own incense mixture that I use for smudging.  Once every one is within the area you begin:
 
Have everyone ground and center themselves.
 
Cast Circle beginning in the East:
 
In the Maiden name of the Goddess
Under the Full Moon sky,
I start the circle.

In the Mother name of the Goddess
Under the Full Moon sky,
I continue the circle.

In the Crone name of the Goddess
Under the Full Moon sky,
I complete the circle.

In the Three names of the Goddess
The circle is complete.

Goddess:
 
Divine Mother Goddess, all bountiful, all beautiful,
Source and sustenance of existence:
We do invoke You now in the time of the Full Moon
When the radiant symbol of Your love shines above us in the heavens.
Mother, even as Your Moon lights the darkness of the Earth below,
May Your Divine Love be as a light within our hearts
Now and always! Light our path, guide and strengthen us, enfold us in Your love.
Divine Mother we thus ask!
We bid You Hail and Welcome!!
All:  Hail and Welcome
 
God, Our Lord:
 
Father God, Son, Brother, and Consort of Our Lady
We do invoke You now in the time of Her glory.
Born of Her body, You dance the dance of Life and Death with Her,
Following Her steps as we follow Yours, eternally reborn and renewed.
As She spins the Thread of Life, You turn the Wheel.
What She gives birth to, You give form to.
O Lord of Time and Space, be with us now we ask.
We bid You Hail and Welcome!!
All:  Hail and Welcome
 
Ancestors:
 
O Mighty Ancestors, Beloved Ones Who have gone before,
We invoke You and ask You to join us and to Bless us
Spiritual family which aids and supports us.
Lend us Your inspiration and Your love.
Your guidance and Your aid this night we ask of.
Beloved Ones, we bid You Hail and Welcome!
All:  Hail and Welcome
 
Here we come to the Full Moon Visualization.

Imagine the face of the Full Moon. See Her clearly in your mind.
Gaze upon Her. Behold Her soft luminance, Her pearly light.
Imagine Her qualities. What do you feel from Her? Love? Strength? Peace? Feel Her energy, commune with Her. Bond with Her.
Think about what it is that you most wish to have at this time
from your Heart, whisper it to Her. Confide in Her. Tell Her what you need, and know that in doing so you are telling the Goddess.
**Divine Mother Goddess, hear the prayers of Your children,
And hold them to Your bosom:
From our Heart to Yours.
We pray that You will aid us in manifesting these things which we are working for this night. Share with us Your energy, strongest at this time of the Full Moon. Strengthen us, and lend Your power to ours!**
Now imagine a shower of soft white light descending from the Moon upon the whole Circle, like a gentle rain; beautiful, clear white light, full of strength and love. See the light descending upon each person all at once. See each person bathed in white light, filled with white light. The light of the Goddess. Feel it coming down upon you as well.
Feel the light coming down all around you, entering you through the top of your head filling your body as water fills a bottle.
Feel its�?purity, its�?strength, its�?strong vibration moving all through you. Bond with the light. Be one with the light. Be one with the Goddess. Focus on the light which fills you. Concentrate upon it.
Feel its texture, its movement. Let it work within you.
Now raise your hands. Hold them palms out. Through your palm Chakras send forth a stream of white light filled With tiny silver stars.
Send the white light with silver stars into the center of the Circle where everyone else is sending theirs.  Imagine a great ball of this light forming there. White light with swirling, sparkling, glittering with silver stars. The more light you send into the ball of light at the center of the Circle, the denser the silver stars become
until at last you can see only the stars in a great whirling ball of energy. Now inside that ball of energy imagine again your goal. What you wish to have. See it within the ball of stars, imagine it as clearly as you can. See the goal already accomplished. See yourself having it, being happy with it. Don’t worry about how it will be accomplished just know that it is already yours and will soon take shape.
Now chant:
I WILL IT, IT IS!(Three Times)
I CALL IT, IT IS! (Three Times)
I MAKE IT, IT IS! (Three Times)
I ACCEPT IT, IT IS MINE! (Three Times)
And see the ball of stars suddenly disperse, like a great explosion; The energy flowing out in all directions carrying our goals outward into manifestation. A manifestation already accomplished on the Astral Plane which will begin to take shape on the Physical Plane as soon as the Circle is opened. Now let the energy dissipate. Then clear and release any excess energy you are holding.
 
CAKES AND ALE:  HP or whomever has led the ritual:
Raise food offering and say:  May you never hunger and all repeat
Raise glass of water/wine/juice and say: May you never thirst and all repeat
Now is the time for discussion.  Those who wish to talk about what they wish for in the coming month or months please feel free to share.
