Ritual: Weaving Joy and Play into the Everyday

Priestess of Aphrodite

I led this ritual for the holiday of Beltane this year, but its sentiments are appropriate throughout Beltane season (and really, all year long!). The full moon this weekend would be a wonderful time to perform this ritual. You will need three strands of ribbon, yarn, or thread - red, orange, and yellow. If you don’t have those specific colors, you can pick other colors that symbolize these themes for you, or even color the ends of some plain twine with a marker. This ritual was originally performed with a group, but here it has been modified for individual practice.

Flames of the Firebird – Communing with the Energy of the Phoenix – October Full Moon Ritual

Priestess of Aphrodite

The Firebird reminds us that even when life or a particular situation feels like it’s going up in flames, beautiful things can be born from the ashes. Sometimes closely-held dreams and fears have to die so that we can continue on – so that we can grow and evolve. This October Full Moon ritual invokes the energy of the Firebird for transformation.

June Full Rose Moon Ritual – Fighting Fear with Love

Priestess of Aphrodite

The June Full Moon is known by many names. In Europe, it is known as the Rose Moon, as the roses are in full bloom during this time. It is also known as the Strawberry Moon, the Flower Moon, the Honey Moon, and even (particularly pertinent for last week’s weather) the Hot Moon. During these long summer days around the solstice, the sweetness of life is full to bursting. The senses delight in nature, as we delight in our friendships and romantic relationships during this more social summer season.
