For those with the experience seeking to take that next step and perform thier own rituals, feel free to use this Mabon Ritual as a guidelineI performed in the year 2007. This is for the solo Witch\ Wiccan\Spiritualist although could be adapted for a group.
MABON RITUAL 2007
Casting the Circle
Meditate:Clearing all thoughts of material world
Light the candles that represent the Lady and Lord
Light your incense
Center and ground yourself
Do three oms to bring your energies into balance
Call the Lady and Lord to join your circle;
Invocation: Lady of the Night, Mistress of the Day,
Please hear the call of your son,
Soaring Bird
Mistress watch as I lay,
This Circle of Power,
Great Hunter, Father, Son and Lover,
Hear my call if you will,
Eternal Man, watch over,
This Circle of Power.
Take a moment to feel and absorb their Presence
Begin to cast the circle.
Using the Incense to represent Fire and Air. Present the burning Incense at the Alter then walk your circle deosil. When you have walked your circle return to the Alter and replace the Incense.
Once the Air and Fire have cast the Circle then join Salt and Water (Earth) together saying, “all things in reverence and mirth”
Present the bowl to the Alter
Now travelling deosil asperge your circle with water from the bowl.
Return to the Alter and replace the water bowl.
Now with your finger or wand cast your Circle with Spirit,
Be thou cast
As I walk thy boundaries,
So do you hold my power,
Set me apart from the world of man,
Make me apart form the realm of spirit,
Hold me between the worlds as I work my magick.
You may see or feel energy coming from you as you walk the edge of your Circle. Or maybe not. Do not worry about it.
Quarter Call
When you return to the Alter, salute the East.
Now at this point you may call the Quarters :
Guardians of the watchtowers of the East,the element of air;
I call forth the Goddess Arianrhod, Goddess of the Moon And of the Earth. Please watch over my circle and guard my Sacred space.
Guardians of the watchtowers of the South,the element of fire;
I call forth the Goddess Aphrodite, Goddess of the Love, Beauty
And Sexuality.Please watch over my circle and guard my Sacred space
Guardians of the watchtowers of the West,the element of water;
I call forth the Goddess Hera, Goddess of Marriage. Please watch
over my circle and guard my Sacred space
Guardians of the watchtowers of the North,the element of earth;
I call forth the Goddess Rhiannon, Goddess of the Fertility. Please watch over my circle and guard my Sacred space
Prepare bowl of leaves at the Alter then stand and slowly scatter the leaves to the ground within the circle saying :
Leaves fall,
The days grow cold,
The Goddess pulls Her mantle of the Earth around Her as You,
O Great Sun God,
Sail towards the west to the lands of
Eternal Enchantment,…
Wrapped in the coolness of night.
Fruits ripe,
Seeds drop,
The hours of day and night are balanced,.
Chill winds blow in from the North wailing laments.
In this seeming extinction of natures power,
O Blessed Goddess,
I know that life continues,
For Spring is impossible without the second Harvest,
As surely as life is impossible without death.
Blessings upon you,
O Fallen God,
As you journey into the lands of winter
And into the Goddess’ loving arms.
Place the basket down and say ;
O Gracious Goddess of all fertility,
I have sown and reaped the fruits of my actions, good and bane.
Grant me the courage to plant seeds of joy and love in the coming year,
Banishing misery and hate.
Teach me the secrets of wise existence upon this planet,
O Luminous one of the night.
Thank the Lady and the Lord
Ladies of the Harvest,
The journeys of a lifetime starts with one step.
With your guidance the journey we will make will lead us down the path of wisdom,
May we always heed your call and reap the knowledge you offer us,
Stay if you will,go if you must.
Blessed Be.
Lords of the Harvest,
The path of illumination is not always clear.
The light you send us has a dark time.
With your guidance we will learn,
That even when its dark,
There is a light that shines within to light the way.
Stay if you will, go if you must.
Blessed Be.
Releasing the Circle
Fare thee well GoddessArianrhod. Thank you for guarding my sacred space.
Fare thee well Goddess Aphrodite. Thank you for guarding my sacred space.
Fare thee well Goddess Hera. Thank you for guarding my sacred space.
Fare thee well Goddess Rhiannon. Thank you for guarding my sacred space.
Clear away remembering to pour salt water onto earth not down the drain.
