from Starhawk
* Stand before your altar, outside or within sight of the full moon, if possible. Breathe and meditate.* Say "This is the time of fullness, the flood tide of power, when the Lady, in full circle of brightness, rides across the night sky
arising with the coming of darkness.
This is the time of the bearing of fruits,
of change realized.
The Great Mother, lover of the world, which is Herself, gives us her gifts of abundance.
The Huntress draws near to the Bright One,
she who awakens the heart at the end of desire.
We who look upon her shining face are filled with love,
Blessed Be."
* Purify, cast the circle, and invoke the Goddess.
Light a white candle.
*Choose a one-word concept you wish to invoke, like "Love." Whisper it at first, then repeat it several times, growing stronger. Build the energy of the chant, raising your arms slowly.*When the energy has reached its strongest point, and your hands are raised high, bring them down to your side, taking in all the light and magick of the full moon.
* If you have any other ritual work or spells to conjure, do so during this point of the ritual.
* Meditate on the blessings of the full moon - abundance, love, passion, intuition, creativity, manifestation, dreams, fertility, potential, etc
* Read the cards, cast the runes, or scry with water/fire/stone/glass to determine your blessings, warnings, omens, and hidden wisdom for the coming month as darkness approaches and the energy turns inward.
* Close the circle, ground and center. Eat something, drink wine, and leave a bit for the fearies.
