| Self-Dedication Rite Take a bath or shower. Add some salt and a few drops of scented oil. Prepare yourself for the ritual by deep breathing, and cleansing your mind and body. Go to a place outdoors where you feel safe. Bring a vial of scented oil. When you reach the spot, remove your shoes and calm yourself. Sit, kneel, or lie on your back, but don’t stand. Use the following incantation after you memorise it, or improvise: O Mother Goddess, O Father God, Answers to all mysteries and yet mysteries unanswered. In this place of power I open myself To Your Essence. In this place and time I am changed; From henceforth I walk the Wiccan path. I dedicate myself to You, Mother Goddess and Father God. Rest for a moment, silent, still. Continue: I breathe Your energies into my body, blending, mixing them with mine, that I may see the divine in nature, nature in the divine, and divinity within myself and all else. O Great Goddess, O Great God, Make me one with Your essence Make me one with Your essence Make me one with Your essence. Wet your finger with the oil and mark the God and Goddess symbols anywhere on your body. | | Modified by DustyTymes 20030918
