Rituals and Offerings

There is a time to work alone, and a time to join and raise power with others-this is that time, dear one. It is a time to make a pilgrimage with like-minded others to a sacred place with a goal-this place could be near or far, but it must be to a place which holds the enchantments of the in-between. You must step beyond the everyday and become a part of the powers of the otherworld for a time, in order to bring more of that magick through to the everyday world in which you reside. When you do this, be it alone or with others, you will be returning the light to the world, reminding others of the power of hope, and restoring a sense of the sacred to your own self. It is time to bring the light back to the world, and to offer it up for others to make use of, however they wish. It is time for you to undertake this pilgrimage and to step away from the structure of the everyday, from all the things that seem to define us, and become what divines us-what makes us closer again to our true Spirit.

Light a candle, go to a temple, visit a grove, a sacred pool, a quiet place where the Divine whispers through the trees, and with grace, humility, and awareness, make your offering to the great spirits all about us. When you do this, the borders and the barriers between the world of magick and the ordinary world will thin until they vanish, and in one beautiful expanse of time, all will be one, all will be beautiful, and all will be as it truly is, once again. Let there be listening and reverence and quietness in your footsteps. Let your sense of self fall away, and let the otherworld speak to you, so that you become once again part of the light of the world, and ease the suffering of all of those who have fallen into the traps of lost hope, denial of Spirit, and forgotten wisdom. Bring it back, bright soul, with the simple ritual you now will make. And when you do this, the Kitsune will be with you, invisible as air, as present as the scent of flowers, as real as the blessed earth, herself.
