Celebrating with a Solitary Ritual

Solitary Rituals are one of the ways that the Solstice will be marked. Some of us will be "Dancing the Goddess Home" by ourselves or with just a few other people. These small celebrations are very important and will add to the Goddess energy that is being raised. Our connection with each other in the Project is not just a physical one, but a spiritual and psychic one that spans space and time. Each one of us has a unique and powerful energy within us. That energy spark within all of us is weaving this international web of connections calling the Goddess home.

After preparing your space for ritual, read the meditation and allow yourself to ground and center.
Follow the ritual for casting the circle, (you may want to simplify this part)lighting the candles and calling the quarters, You can read each section of the Ritual aloud and vision those same words being spoken by thousands of other Pagans around the world. Do this slowly and with focus and you will begin to feel the energy of the others who are doing the same ritual. The physical boundaries often melt when an experience is shared by so many in such a focused way.

When you come to the part about the Spiral Dance, rise and begin to move clockwise in a circle, spiraling in as you go around, keep doing this until you are at the center, then turn to the left and begin to spiral pourt again, singing the spiraling chant softly. When you reach the outer edge where you began, begin spiraling in again, you can repeat this as many times as you like, while continuing to chant. Walking the Spiral in this way is a very powerful experience.

You can also "draw" a spiral on your floor or the ground with small stones, corn meal, flower petals or string. Anything that makes the spiral visible to you and feels sacred to you would be great. When you dedicate your artwork, speak the words that others are speaking and envision them blessing the images you have created, because the Blessing of Artwork at the public rituals is a blessing on all Goddess Art created, not just the art that is present at the ritual.Send out a blessing to all the artwork around the world, that you cannot see, except in your heart.

Bless the sacred food and drink according to the Ritual. After you offer it to the Goddess, offer some to all those who are not with you physically, but with you in spirit, sharing the same ritual. When you drink, drink in the love of the international community that you are a part of. . .Drink in the blessings that are being offered to you by many unseen friends. Focus on the abundance of all life and the magic of being. When you have finished the Ritual, take a piece of paper and write "So mote it be!" on it and then take another and without thinking about it, draw a quick image of the Goddess. The reason for doing this is to move you into the future with a committment to positively expanding the Culture of the Goddess.


The Ritual you are performing will be a powerful way of connecting with Pagans everywhere. I am planning on doing both a public, and a private Solitary Ritual to 'Dance the Goddess Home".
