ladyhawk | Let us remember our four legged brothers and sister, the winged and the crawlies for they also have a place here tonight |
ladyhawk | We must also remember all healing begins within us |
ladyhawk | and as we transform ourselves, so everything in the earth mother responds. |
ladyhawk | AHO |
ladyhawk | The tools we will use tonight for our circle are |
Stones77 | so be it. |
ladyhawk | a special sea shell it will hold our offering, |
ladyhawk | it contains sage, sweetgrass, and cedar to be burnt |
ladyhawk | a smudge stick |
ladyhawk | bowl of water |
ladyhawk | bowl of cornmeal |
ladyhawk | crystal for the ceremony |
ladyhawk | a cup for water |
ladyhawk | the element of the month |
ladyhawk | the medicine blanket |
ladyhawk | and lastly the rose for whitehorse woman |
ladyhawk | i saw a white rose |
Stones77 | as did i ladyhawk. |
ladyhawk | Elements for the moon cycles are these |
ladyhawk | earth moon = crystal |
lila | pink rose here |
ladyhawk | fire moon = candle |
ladyhawk | water moon = water |
OldTree | soft white here |
ladyhawk | air moon = feather |
ladyhawk | tonight's element is earth |
ladyhawk | If we were outdoors all the people would enter through the east like on a medicine wheel |
ladyhawk | For the east door represents the new light of day, the place of all beginnings. When all had made one complete circle |
ladyhawk | moonwise or clounterclock wise the circle begins |
ladyhawk | The host and the other participants would move to the center of the circle. |
ladyhawk | They would begin to lay out the tools for the evening |
ladyhawk | First the blanket is spread |
ladyhawk | then the shell with the ofering is lit and placed in the center of the blanket. |
ladyhawk | the water is then placed in the bowl and reaised over head for the moon to see. |
ladyhawk | The crystal is then offered by the bearer raising the crystal in the same manner |
ladyhawk | next the cornmeal is placed in a bowl and raised for all to see |
ladyhawk | lastly is the element it is raised over head and then placed on the blanket |
ladyhawk | I have asked coyote to smudge for us tonight |
ladyhawk | she will first prepare the smudge stick and proceed to smudge first herself |
ladyhawk | then she will smudge the items on the blanket, the creator, the mother earth all the four directions the above and below. She will then pass the stick to all in the circle for them to smudge themselves. Passing the Sage Wand |
ladyhawk | all items will be passed to the left of moonwise |
ladyhawk | When all have been smudged and the stick returned coyote will then return to her place in the circle |
ladyhawk | coyote would you like to try |
coyote | i feel the warmth and love of smudge and pass it on to next person |
ladyhawk | karuna |
coyote | it is glowing beautifully |
ladyhawk | and so on |
karuna | I am lost |
pathfinder | Iam, too. |
ladyhawk | we are smudging ourselves for the circle tonight |
lila | does everyone understand about smudging? |
ladyhawk | lila go ahead we can go back |
karuna | not really |
sadiesadie | yes i do |
ladyhawk | karuna watch it will return |
coyote | smudging is a way of clearing yourself and allowing yourself to be truly present |
lila | a wand of sage is burned.... the smoke is used to purify the aura of each person passed to |
coyote | at least this is how i have done |
ladyhawk | as i |
lila | yes coyote |
sadiesadie | agree too |
ladyhawk | go sadie |
ladyhawk | then it will pass around |
lila | it often proceeds healing ceremonies |
karuna | what do i do? |
coyote | i started by smudging myself and passed on to next person, karuna |
pathfinder | Is it ok if I just observe? I have never been here before. |
lila | head to toe.... |
Stones77 | that is fine pathfinder. |
Sandcastle | certainly pathfiiner |
ladyhawk | yes pathfinder |
ladyhawk | all is welcome |
coyote | you take it & let the smoke pass over all parts of your body and above your head |
ladyhawk | to cleanse |
OldTree | cleansed and passing it to my left....... |
lila | also can breathe in the smoke.... intake for inner cleansing |
sadiesadie | as i swirle the smoke around myself i feel uplifted and yet relaxed, the smell allways makes me feel as if I'm floating . now i pass it on.... |

moonstar | i smell the smoke clearing my body and lifting my soul and relaxing my body to the hightest |
Stones77 | inhaling the aroma deeply, asking that the body be cleansed. passing on to candle. |

ladyhawk | now the next part is of the element. Stones is doing double duty tonight |
Stones77 | tonight we are going to use the smokey quartz as the element earth. |
Stones77 | this stone is good for grounding us. |
Stones77 | it will help you to neutralize negative influence and is excellent for mediation. |
