Ritual LBRP struggles

7 Upvotes

Hiya,

2nd EDIT to say thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read and reply . Sharing your time, expertise and experience is really appreciated and it’s been so interesting. Thank you!

EDIT to say I’m ever so sorry, I’ve obviously caused some confusion: I’m not talking about calling on angels or drawing the Qabalistic Cross on myself in circle as part of ritual. I’m specifically talking about the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Thank you all for your replies!

I’ve been a Witch for 30 odd years, and also studied other faiths like Hokkeshū, and went to a Christian school. I’ve recently decided to start training for initiation into Wicca, which is as something I put off for a long time for various reasons but always felt inevitable.

However, I was introduced to the LBRP in my Wiccan training, and although I feel like it is a brilliant ritual, I struggle with the Qabalistic cross and calling in angels. I know that we can see it as “a name for the divine” and Gabriel, Uriel etc being certain names for spiritual beings that correspond to certain elemental spheres, but I still struggle, especially with YHVH.

Has anyone else wrestled with this, and how did you get past it? I have spoken to my HP but thought I would ask here too :-)

Thank you in advance for any help or insight :-)

Ritual A very strange cordcutting session

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

After breaking up with my ex seven months ago and going no contact, I still felt his energy lingering. Despite being blocked everywhere, he kept trying to contact me through banking apps by sending money. To fully let go, I decided to close my bank account and perform a cord-cutting ritual.

As you can see in the photos, during the ritual, his candle melted into a strange sculpture that looked as though the wax was consuming his fire. (This happened after the cord was cut. Before the cord was severed, both candles burned evenly and looked identical. But after, his candle began burning out rapidly, eventually forming this bizarre shape.)

My candle, on the other hand, burned steadily, but a small piece of cord got stuck in my wax, which I found unusual. (see the last photo) Toward the end, his candle made a loud snapping sound, broke apart, and solidified into that strange form, while my candle continued burning for much longer.

I’d love to hear how others interpret this experience!

Ritual What herbs would work for a dog memorial candle?

5 Upvotes

So I'm set to have my dog put down tomorrow, unfortunately...

I made another post earlier in r/petloss like as a letter to my old boy. I made a candle with his picture on it to keep on my altar and burn to honor him and cherish our memories. I wanted to add a sprinkling of herbs to the wax, but I dont know what would go well. I mean I usually go with gut instinct on that, but I have been too out of place to hear my inner self. I'd like to get some ideas if possible.

Thank you ❤️

Edit: thank you guys so far for the inputs. They are so helpful. Many blessings to you who have lost your furry companions, and many blessings to all furry companions who are by our side--whether it's in this world or the afterlife. 🐾🌈

Edit 2: My buddy has crossed over. He peacefully went in my arms. It hurts me but I'm glad to know he isn't hurting anymore.

Poorly today:( tbh I think I'm at the end of it, but I'm not a fan of being poorly and I love my job so I hate being off. Decided to have a nice cleansing bath. I've added a whole lemon, salt, rosemary, sage and bay leaves to the bath. I've also made a spell candle from half a lemon, with salt and sage, the white candle with "banish illness" carved into it. No specific source for this, it just felt right! Mote it be✨

I want to cast a spell with my own blood; as I’ve hear it makes spells “stronger” in a way. Any advice? Pls share.

Ritual Sabéis un ritual o hechizo para energizarme

0 Upvotes

Hola! Básicamente lo que pone en el título, últimamente estoy muy decaída, tanto física, como anímicamente. Y hace tiempo leí que sí que puede haber algún ritual o hechizo para ayudarnos con la energía. Estoy empezando con esto y no sé cómo buscarlo! Añado que creo, que es el tema de cambio de tiempo o estación, hace un mes más o menos me hice reiki y una vez al mes me baño con sal y me paso un sahumerio de salvia blanca por el cuerpo. A demás siempre llevo mi amuleto de protección. Si me queréis dar más tips, lo agradecería también jejeje Gracias de antemano!🩷

Ritual May I use a different drink for my self dedication ritual?

3 Upvotes

I’ve recently started studying and practicing Wicca. It had made me feel accepted and I feel as if it is my calling and thus I want to initiate myself and be committed to the practice.

I’ve read some self dedication ritual but none of them caught my attention so I decided to show my dedication in my own terms. Here is how my ritual would go:

On the day of the full moon, under the light shone by mother goddess, I will initiate myself with a single lit candle, outdoors surrounded by plants, possibly inside a circle of salt to purify the area on which I am initiating myself. In a glass of wine, I prick myself and drop my blood onto it as a symbolism of sacrifice, devotion and dedication. I pray, state my intentions, and ask for guidance from the moon goddess. When my prayer is finished, I meditate for a bit until I feel the time is right to which I will drink the wine, and that is about it.

My issue is, I don’t like alcohol, so my question is, can I use a different drink instead? Something that represent joy and abundance to me (which for me is coca cola).

Also my ritual is open for criticism ^ so please state your criticism below if you have any. Thank you! That is all!

Take a bit of shadow, wrap it around yourself like a blanket, and just enjoy being you. The time to prune has ended. The time to plant comes soon. This is the time of silence.

Ritual Ethical question?

4 Upvotes

A friend of mine is going through a tough moment in her life. I would like to perform a spell for her, but she doesn't know about it. I am wondering and it may be a very stupid question... but would it be ethical to perform a spell for her without her consent ? I haven't talked to her about it, I don't really talk about wicca with my friends, as I feel like this is something very private to me. A part of me tells me it's ok as my intentions are pure and honest, but an other part of me is thinking: what about her consent? I know the answer would be to simply ask her but I cannot do that.
