Colors are
... summer (red yellow, orange, vivid blue, bright green etc.)
In the
anteroom write your dedication to the gods or goddess on the paper supplied.
All gather
in the car park.
Today, to
celebrate Midsummer, I honor the Earth itself. I am surrounded by tall trees.
There is a clear sky above me and cool dirt beneath me, and I am connected to
all three. I light this fire as the Ancients did so long ago.
Start the
metho Fire. Start the worm wood fire. All pass through the two fires to purify
ourselves. As you walk into the ritual room experience the elements that will
be placed at the quarters - start with Air, fire, water and Earth. Cast a
circle with the sword - then say:
The Wheel of
the Year has turned once more
The light
has grown for six long months.
This is
Litha, A time for celebration.
Soon the
light will begin to fade
As the Wheel
of the Year
Turns on and
ever on.
The East,
say:
From the
east, the mist rolls in
Bringing
rain and fog
The
life-giving water without which
We would
cease to be.
Hail and
welcome!
The North,
say:
The sun
rises high in the summer sky
And lights
our way even into the night
Today the
sun casts three rays
The light of
fire upon the land, the sea, and the heavens
Hail and
welcome!
The West,
say:
Beneath my
feet is the Earth,
Soil dark
and fertile
The womb in
which life begins
And will
later die, and then return anew.
Hail and
welcome!
The South,
say:
From the
south comes the wind,
Cool and
clear.
It brings
new seeds to the garden
Bees to the
pollen
And birds to
the trees.
Hail and
welcome!
Goddess
representative Say:
Litha is a
time of re-dedication
To the gods.
The triple
goddess watches over me.
She is known
by many names.
She is the
Morrighan, Brighid, and Cerridwen.
She is the
washer at the ford,
She is the
guardian of the hearth,
She is the
one who stirs the cauldron of inspiration.
Hail and
Welcome
God
Representative Say:
I give honor
to You, O mighty ones,
By all your
names, known and unknown.
Bless us
with your wisdom
And give
life and abundance to us
As the sun
gives life and abundance to the Earth.
Hail and
welcome
The old gods
embrace the new gods and pass the mantle of responsibility to the new gods. All
the gods’ representatives say:
We Honor
this time of the year at the apex of the waxing year and the start of the
waning year as the year changes the gods change.
Now is the
time to make your dedication. All Participants Say their dedication: Followed
with:
I make this
offering to you
To show my

ALL make
wild noise as each dedication is said out loud.
When the
last dedication is made ALL make noise and dance wildly with no order allow the
energy to be raised so that our dedication can be sent to the gods. After
relaxing and resting. The South, say:
From the
south comes the wind,
Cool and
clear.
It brings
new seeds to the garden
Bees to the
pollen
And birds to
the trees.
Hail and
Farewell!
