No, I wasn't wandering aimlessly through the woods ...
Saturday evening I happened upon a Pagan Waning Moon Fire Ritual. Â No, I wasn't wandering aimlessly through the woods, I was at an event teaching a "seva" (volunteer) yoga class. Â During a group tarot reading, the leader mentioned there would be a fire ceremony later that evening. Â We gathered around a huge bonfire, held hands and invoked deities and spirits and angels and anything meaningful into our group to assist. Â We welcomed the four elements; fire, water, air, and earth. Â We danced nude and sang together. Â As we gazed into the fire we were to think of a belief, pattern, or thought that was no longer serving us. Â Once we did that, we chose a candle from a basket. Â Clockwise around the circle we lit one another's candle. Â Another prayer was cast. Â Once we were clearly ready to let go, we tossed our lit candle into the fire and watched it burn away. Â After the closing remarks I left ... with a glimmer of hope ...Â
