PURPOSE:
The purpose of this working is to pay homage
to the Gods and to reflect on Their blessings upon this your life.
TOOLS:
Herb(s) for tea
Container for herb(s)
Cup(s) and Tea Pot
Decanter of Pure Spring Water
Brewing dish with candle
Scrying Candle
PREPARE
BY:
Placing a small table or platform in the
center of your working space and arranging the Brewing dish, herbs,
cup(s), Tea Pot and spoon on the table. Also place the cauldron
with scrying candle within for use during the meditation.
Prior to casting the Circle, light candle and fill the Brewing
dish with Spring Water from a decanter. Keep the Brewing Dish
covered during the Casting, as I have found this helps the water
to heat faster and hotter.
BLESSING OF HERBS
With the tip of your
Athame touching the Herbs, intone this blessing:
Thou has grown by favor of the Sun, The Moon, and of the dew.
I
make this intercession, ye herb:
I beseech thee to be of benefit to me and my rite,
For thy virtues are unfailing.
Thou art the Dew of all the Gods,
The Eye of the Sun,
The Light of the Moon,
The Beauty and Glory of the Sky,
The Mystery of Terra.
I purify thee so that whatever is wrought by me with thee may,
in all its powers,
have a good and speedy effect with good success.
Be purified by my prayer and be powerful!
So mote it be!
When water is hot enough, place the herbs
in the Tea Pot and add water from the brewing dish, give it a
couple of stirs.
While
the tea is steeping, intone this Prayer:
Earth
Mother, Giver of Life
Strengthen me during my life-long strife.
Teach me Your ways of perfect love,
Peace, and wisdom true.
Spawn from my purest heart
These words to You
May this prayer help me to better
Myself in word and deed,
To a higher plane I shall succeed.
Beautiful Light of Goodness Fair
Lore of old we both do share
A Witch's brew, I drink to You
My love for You, by day, by night
In thought and in sight
Will my soul learn
The meaning of this life again.
Pour
out a cup for all present, including one for the Gods, and enjoy.
Sit before the table and meditate on the blessings that the Gods
have bestowed upon your life. You may use the scrying candle here
to focus upon for your meditation. If the Gods so choose They
may give you a Message or Vision through the blessings of the
Sight. You may relax now and finish off the pot.
