Self-Power Retrieval Ritual



  • Cup of water
  • Tealight candle
  • Cane sugar

Start by cleansing and grounding yourself. I create holy water then using a sprig of rosemary, dip the sprig into the water and tap the pressure points throughout my body while vibrating the phrase, “IAO.”

Once you’ve cleansed yourself, find a comfortable position; I prefer sitting. Place a tealight candle into a cup of water and sprinkle cane sugar on top of it.

Take several deep breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. Visualize white light filling your lungs and body as you breathe in, and imagine smoke flowing out as you exhale.


Light the candle and begin reading:

I am shattered,

Yet I remain complete and whole.

I honor who I was,

I honor who I am,

I honor and welcome who I am becoming.


I reclaim the pieces of myself I once lost,

I reclaim the strength I had surrendered.

I forgive myself for disregarding my boundaries,

Intentionally or unintentionally.


I honor my past,

I honor my present, 

I honor my future,

As it was,

As it is,

As it shall be.


I thank my body for supporting my spirit.

I thank my spirit for transcending me into a state of divinity.

I thank and transmute my past into a new creation.

I thank my ancestors, guardian spirits, angels, and deities who watch over me.

(Repeat this three times)

In the name IAO

Amen


Following the Rite, make sure to have a filling meal or snack that helps you feel centered again.

Rite of Protection: Safeguarding Your Kingdom with Venus and Saturn

  Rite of Protection: Safeguarding Your Kingdom with Venus and Saturn Three tea light candles Two glasses of water Rose branches Red string Rose oil Anoint the candles with rose oil and place two of them in a cup of water—one on the left and one on the right. Cut the rose branches into thirds and arrange them into a triangle. Secure the corners with the string to stabilize the triangle. As you do this, meditate and visualize rose branches forming a protective boundary around a castle, within which you and your loved ones reside. Once the triangle is complete, place it on the table and position an anointed candle in the center. Create a triangle shape with your hands over the candles, glasses, and branch triangle. Recite the following prayer: By Earth, the Body of the Gods By Water, their flowing blood By Air, the breath of the Gods By Fire, their burning soul May these offerings be blessed and purified. As you recite this, envision any impurities in the offerings being washed away,...

All Roads Lead to Hekate

(This image of Hekate is by yuliayael. Find this and more art at  Instagram  and  Facebook. ) Today is Halloween, Samhain, a time when the Dead and those in-between can communicate and cross realms more easily, making it ideal for connecting with Hekate. Jason Miller's Sorcery of Hekate session begins today. Having previously taken his course, I can attest that it has significantly enriched my connection not just with the Witch Queen, but also with my overall magical practice. The guiding theme and mantra I embraced while taking the course was, “All roads lead to Hekate.” For years, I intermittently made offerings to the Lady Cloaked in Saffron. I explored Liber Khthonia by Jeff Cullen and participated in various rites. I even encountered a Grey Lady one night while walking to the crossroads. However, the Serpent Maiden always seemed elusive to me. Unlike other deities I had worked with, she was never as outspoken. Recently, I've come to understand that she was silently ...
