*After fini****ng sweeping, L prepares an alter with the usual tools and
candles of deep pink and red. She prepares salt and water.*
Asperge (deosil round the Grove)
By the harmonious blending of Earth and Water do I cleanse this space of
all
negativity, old rubbish, spam, worthless cross-posts, general crap and bad
vibes.
Casting (deosil around the Grove with her sword)
I conjure thee O Circle of Power that you be a veil between worlds
welcoming
those who will bring their blessings to this Grove and for this purpose,
welcome in those who will return and those who will find this place for
the
first time. Wherefore I do bless and consecrate thee.
North
I look to the North and call to the Spirit of Earth. Rich soil, desert
sands, green fields, rocky mountains, stability, stamina, your blessings
of
strength and wisdom. I call to you and ask that you join us in this
Grove.
Bring your blessings of life to it again.
Hail and welcome Earth!
East
I turn to the East and call to the Spirit of Air. Forceful gales, cool
breezes, tender winds that caress. I call to you and ask that you join us
in this Grove. Bring your Breath of Life that we may be filled with your
energy.
Hail and welcome Air!
South
I look to the South and call to the Spirit of Fire. Burning flames of
desire, passion, warmth, love and purification. I call to you and ask
that
you join us in this Grove. Bring your Powers of Transformation and
transform this Grove from a place of desolation to again a place of love,
acceptance and solace.
Hail and welcome Fire!
West
I turn to the West and call to the Spirit of Water. Cra****ng ocean waves,
lapping waters, trickling streams, babbling brooks. I call to you and ask
that you join us in this Grove. Bring your wisdom and your source that it
may quench our thirst once again.
Hail and welcome Water!
Spirit
I call to you Great Spirit. The all, the nothing, the void, the
everything.
I call to you and ask that you join us in this Grove. Return it to a
place
of spirituality, of rememberance, of celebration, of learning. Bring your
blessings of the Universe and Life. Let them filter through us all and
touch us in the ways which are best for us.
Hail and welcome Spirit!
God
I call to You Great Horned God. Green Man. Warrior, Hunter, Sage. I
call
to You and ask that You join us in this Grove. Bless this place and make
it
whole again. Shower it with Your love and blessings. Share Your secrets,
Your wisdom, Your mysteries. Make this once again a place of laughter,
joy,
sup****t and celebration. Be once more upon this land, in this Grove. Be
with us now and for all our days.
Hail and welcome Great Horned God!
Goddess
I call to You the Lady of 1000 Names. She who is the Maiden, Mother and
Crone. She who brings us all together. I call to You and Ask that You
join
us in this Grove. Let Your blood flow through this Grove again. ****ne
Your
warm sun and cool moon. Share Your mysteries, Your secrets, Your
guidance.
Come and transform this place into a place of connection, spirit and
integrity. Be once more with us here and now. Be with us for always.
Hail and welcome Lady!
Statement of Purpose
Tonight, this night, the night of the full Rose Moon, I bring together the
Elements, Our Lady and Lord that we may remember what this place once was
and to restore it to a new glory. Tonight, this place begins anew and
moves
in a new direction: remembering the past, but looking to the future;
remembering our spirit, but still time for play; remembering our sorrows,
but healing once again. People have left. Sconehenge has fallen. But
tonight the Grove rises again.
Raising of Energy
*L sings and dances the following song*
(song lyrics by Lisa Thiel)
Grandmothers weaving the rainbow.
Grandmothers weaving the light.
Grandmothers weaving the rainbow.
Weaving the threads of my life,
Guide me on my spirit journey
Guide me on my spirit journey
Grandmothers make my way sacred -
Lead me on the path of light
Grandmothers awaken wisdom
Help me on my spirit flight
Grandmothers women of wisdom
Dance your sacred dance of light.
Sing your sacred song of beauty
Help me on my spirit flight.
Guide me on my spirit journey
Guide me on my spirit journey
Guide me on my spirit journey
Guide me on my spirit journey
*With hands to the skies*
The Grove lives again
The Grove thrives again
Our spirits soar
And survive again
With open hearts
In this astral plane
We seek our spirit
The Grove arises again
By the pentacle I wear
Earth, Fire, Water Air
Ruled by Spirit as all should be
As I will
So mote it be!
*As she sends the energy forth, a warm light fills the Grove that gently
hums. The trees leaves whisper in the breeze. The animals return and
bring
their songs. The gr***** spring forth green and lush with new life. All
around Life blossoms and returns. The Moon ****nes down full and bright.
One
feels that all are breathing a sigh of relief.*
With energy expended I ground and centre.

May the circle be open but unbroken. May the peace of the Goddess and God
be ever in our hearts. Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again!
*L sits in the clearing where she has just declared the reclaiming of the
Grove, soaking up the bright warm light of the full moon and enjoys cakes
and ale*
