Place Snowflakes, White Flowers, and Crystals around the Altar and worship area.

You can also use melted snow in the cauldron.

You need an Orange Candle anointed with one of the following oils: Cinnamon, Frankincense, or Rosemary.

Setup your worship area and altar. Light the candles and incense. Cast the Circle.

Invoke the Deities and Spirits of the Elements.

Then Say something similar to the following:

 "As these lights shine,
In the honor of the rebirth of our Lord.I celebrate life!
I celebrate my Lord and Lady!"

Then light the Orange Candle from the Red Candle or Southern Candle. As you walk slowly clockwise around the circle with the Orange Candle.

 Say: 

"While Earth sleeps it's winter sleep,
As all life awaits the coming warmth.My Lord of the Sun is reborn,
Blessed be the Mother Goddess who gives life,
Hail and Welcome O,

Great God!"

Stand before the altar with the Orange Candle and visualize your life growing with renewed energy and creativity.

You can now do divination or spells. Celebrate the Simple Feast and release the Circle.

You are now done.

Ritual # 2

A symbol of the season, such as a representation of a snow flake, a white flower, or perhaps some snow in a crystal container can be placed on the altar.

An Orange Candle anointed with musk, cinnamon, frankincense or rosemary oil, unlit, should also be there.

Snow can be melted and used for the water during the circle casting.

Arrange the altar, light the candles and censer, Cast the Circle of Stones. Recite the Blessing Chant.

Invoke the Goddess and God.

Say:

"This is the time of the feast of torches,

when every lamp blazes and shines

to welcome the rebirth of the God.

I celebrate the Goddess,

I celebrate the God;

all Earth celebrates

Beneath its mantle of sleep."

Light the Orange taper from the Red Candle on the altar (or at the Southern point of the circle). Slowly walk the circle clockwise, bearing the candle before you.

Say:

"All the land is wrapped in winter.

The air is chilled and frost envelops the Earth.

But Lord of the Sun,

Horned One of animals and wild places,

unseen you have been reborn

of the gracious Mother Goddess,

 Lady of all fertility."

Hail Great God! Hail and welcome!

Stop before the altar, holding aloft the candle. Gaze at its flame. Visualize your life blossoming with creativity, with renewed energy and strength.

You are done.
