Ceremonies

T

Many cultures and people celebrate transitions from one phase of life to another, manifesting this transformation through grounding and opening practices, calling in the directions, using personal and collective symbols and resources, affirming change. As you evolve, letting go of fear, we give thanks and offer blessings to all living beings and to all mystical and spiritual resources. Design your and/or your loved ones’ unique ceremonial rituals, including consecrations, dedications, sanctifications, transitioning, coupling, uncoupling, birthing, blessings, rebirthing, dying, devotions, and more.

Celestial Ceremony

by Barbara Sanders

Churches, sprinkling water on babies' heads, signs of the cross
Churches, dunking people underwater, symbolizing new life
Ceremonies of love, 
Ceremonies of grief
Mother Nature, baptizing us in wildfires, hurricanes
Shaking herself with earthquakes
Human, bird, insect, reptile, and animal beings, injured, dying, dead
Forests in ashes, new growth already springing forth
Celebrations of transitions from womb to birth
From death to new life
From one way of being to another
From gender to gender
To honor and respect change and growth
Anoint ourselves and each other
Douse us with water and oils
A daily journey through life, transforming, transmuting
Transcendant
A ceremony to end all other ceremonies
Take a breath and relax
Activation takes time, diving downward
Into dark Mother Earth's womb
To feel, to witness all the shadowy parts
Of ourselves, the dark beings in our lives
Get to know and embrace them
Bring them up into the light
A ceremony for accepting all our internal parts
Even those that trouble us
A celestial ceremony 
Lifting us up into the Spirit World
Where we are naked
Once more
