We should write a section about rituals on our blog...The objectives of a Wiccan ritual are to connect with the forces of nature and work magick and spell-craft.The first part of a Wiccan ritual is to consecrate the space. To do that we cast a circle. This is done with the Ritual dagger (Atheme) or Wand. A circle may be drawn on ground with chalk and then the tool is taken around the circle to consecrate the circumference.After that we light candles for the four directions and call the spirits of the elements, or the four directions. The four candles are lit for the guardian angles of four directions and four elements.Then we may summon the Goddess Diana and God Cernunnos. After that, cake and wine (or juice) may be consecrated and partaken by each member.The celebration of the season or Full moon comes to next. Wiccan celebrations goes according to the cycles of nature. There are two types of rituals according to their significance. First one is the cycles of moon. Moon goddess is celebrated on Full-Moon days. There are thirteen full moons for one year. The other kind of celebrations are the seasons caused by the Sun. There are eight seasons for the year according to Wicca.There are specific rituals like Maypole-Dance (May eve), Flying-Broomsticks (Harvest season) that goes according to each season.The spell work, healing, divination etc. comes after that. In a coven setting all the people gather in a circle to combine their powers for one goal at a time, helping the works of each other in turns.When the most important parts of the ritual are completed, the fun begins. There are many games that can be played in a coven setting. Candle passing, Maypole dance, Whisper game, Spiral dance are some games among them.Finally the circle is closed and the spirits are thanked for their presence and the ritual is finished. coven members kisses each other and depart."May the circle be open!, but unbroken!,May the peace of the goddess be ever in your hearts!...Merry meet, and marry part, and merry meet again!"This is the generic flow of a Wiccan ritual of a coven that I dream to be a part of! The ritual of a solitary practitioner is different from this.</blockquote>
