Samhain Ritual 2020

Damon Family Ancestor Tree on Samhain 2020

Ritual Written

by Priestess Celestina Aurora Madry and technoshaman001

Start by singing to raise energy as we form our circle.

Handmaiden Sweep

The besom is used to sweep out all residual and negative energy from the space.

“Broom arise from where you stand and be a besom in my hand,

Ash and Rod and Willow brush,

powers of day and night you touch,

Equal parts Moon and Sun are held by you and shaped as one,

that sacred balance may kept as round and round the circle swept, blend the day with peaceful night,

blend the darkness with the light, sweep in help and tranquil calm, sweep out all that causes harm,

with each stroke, each bristles sway, all things profane are swept away, and time is banished from

this place, till not remains but sacred space, to welcome in the ancient ones, with this pass my

sweep is done, so mote it be”

Elemental Purifications

When purifying with the elements you are preparing the space that has been cast ready for

the presence of the elements in a more pure form than we normally find them.

East/Air

“With the sweet Air of life, do I bless and make sacred a fitting place within this our circle, for

the Guardians of the East and the rites of Life that we shall herein perform, So mote it be”

South/FIre

“With the bright flame of light, do i bless and make sacred a fitting place within this our circle,

for the Guardians of the South and rights of Light we shall herein perform, so mote it be”

West/Water

“With the pure waters of Love, do I bless and make sacred a fitting place within this our circle,

for the Guardians of the West and the rites of love we shall herein perform, So mote it be”

North/Earth

“With the firm salt of law, do i bless and make sacred a fitting place within this our circle, for

the Guardians of the North and the rites of law we shall herein perform, so mote it be”

Wine Blessing

The wine blessing is bringing the ritual to the creation of everything, it is the Big band told

in microcosm.

The Chalice represents the Goddess, Earth, Water, a solid object containing liquid

The Athame represents the God, Air and Fire.

Priestess: Kneels and lifts Chalice

“By this I summon yee, O Ancient ones, Bless yee this wine and Infuse it with thy limitless

Love let it become for thy Children, the life blood that Flows in all things,

the manifested essenscense of The blessed elements”

Priest: Lays the athame across the chalice

“The Male holds the power and is the reservoir of the power”

Priestess: “The Female taps the power in him and channels it”

Priestess & Priest: “Neither one can work without the other, one without the other is incomplete”

Priest: “The horned god is a god of life and death”

Priestess: “The goddess is of birth and renewal”

Priestess & Priest: “To learn you must suffer, to live you must be born, to be born you

must die, the beginning, the continuation, and the end, over and over”

Priest: “The sun brings forth the light”

Priestess: “The moon holds it in darkness”

Priest: “As above”

Priestess “So below”

Priest: Lifts Athame “and as the athame is to the male”

Priestess: “So the chalice is to the female”

Priestess & Priest: “and conjoined they be one in truth for there is no greater power

in all the world than that of a two humans, joined in the hands of love” “so mote it

Drink from Chalice

Calling in Deity

Hekate

“I call Hekate of the Crossroads, worshipped at the meeting of three paths,

oh guardian of all. Hear me, guide my ancestors to peace, we love you,

i love you, , the triple goddess - mother maiden and crone.

In the sky, earth, and sea, you are venerated in your saffron-colored robes.

Funereal Daimon, celebrating among the souls of those who have passed.

Persian, fond of deserted places, you delight in deer.

Goddess of night, protectress of our beloved dogs, invincible Queen.

Drawn by a yoke of bulls, you are the queen who holds the keys to all the Kózmos.

Commander, Nýmphi, nurturer of children, you who haunt the mountains.

Pray, Maiden, attend our hallowed Samhain ritual;

Be forever gracious to your mystic herdsman and rejoice in our gifts of incense.

So mote it be”

ANUBIS

“O, Anubis! Mighty Anubis!

The Ancestors from the Family of Damon have entered the gates to your realm,

And I ask that you continue to watch over them.

Their spirits are brave,

And their souls are honorable.

O, Anubis! Mighty Anubis!

As you take their measure,

And weigh their hearts as they stands before you,

Know that they were loved by many,

And will be remembered by all.

Anubis, welcome The Ancestors from the Family of Damon and deem

them worthy of entrance,

That they may walk through your realm,

And be under your protection for all eternity.

O, Anubis! Mighty Anubis!

Watch over The Ancestors from the Family of Damon as they appear before you.

So mote it be.”

MARZANNA

“Marzanna, Marzanna
The descendants from the family of Mądra call upon you
To bridge the veil between the world of the descendants and the

world of the ancestors
As the vibrant glory of autumn bridges the veil between summer’s

warmth and winter’s frosty embrace
Marzanna, Marzanna
The descendants from the family of Mądra call upon you
To put to rest the late Haroldz Mądry
As a follower of HerbCraft
So he may rest until the dawn of time, knowing that his time on Earth,

is rightfully recognized, by his descendants.
Marzanna, Marzanna
The descendants from the family of Mądra call upon you
To bridge and heal any rifts
Not only among the world of the dead
But also among the world of the living
So we may all live in love and prosperity, for eternity.
So mote it be.”

Meditation

Priestess: “LET NOTHING IMPURE ENTER HEREIN. LET NO ONE BE

PRESENT UNLESS THEY COME WITH AN OPEN HEART AND AN

OPEN MIND, WE CALL UPON OUR ANCESTORS TO JOIN US ON

THIS ALL SAMHAIN EVE”

Use this time to meditate, think about and connect to our ancestors,

feel the pain they went through, relive their memories, channel their

personalities and any messages they have for us.

We honor our ancestors by bringing them with us into the present -

it is now we liberate our family lineage from the trauma and horrors

they faced and committed.

Visualization

Now it is time to focus specifically on the HEALING of our ancestral trauma -

we must visualize the hundreds of family members moving forward into the

light - at peace, free.

Jayelynn - I personally am asking for forgiveness in how my family was

related to the direct displacement of indigenous people during the

colonial era of my family lineage.

Celestina- I am personally asking for forgiveness from all of our collective sins,

and grant forgiveness to the sins that were committed collectively against us,

so that we could all move forward into an era of love and prosperity.
