Ritual for a Birthday

Here is a ritual to be done on your birthday.


Needed:
Black candle
White candle
Candle in the color of your astrological sign
Banishing oil
Good luck oil
Piece of paper
Cauldron
water that has been blessed

Cast the circle. Anoint the black candle with banishing oil, visualizing all obstacles, bad habits, etc. falling away from you. Light the candle and say:

"This candle shall absorb
All negative forces acting around me and through me.
As this candle burns,
It engulfs all negative energies,
Clearing this next year for success."

Anoint the white candle with good luck oil, visualizing all good thoughts, success, and positive forces flocking to you. Light the candle and say:

"This candle shall attract
All positive forces to act around me and through me.
As this candle burns,
It purifies my mind, soul, heart, and body,
As I prepare for this next year."

Light the astrological candle, and say:

"As this candle represents myself,
It is a beacon for positive energies,
Love, light, and prosperity.
As this candle burns bright,
The light of my journey will burn bright
With happiness and gifts
From the Lord and Lady in this coming year."

Place 'your' candle between the white and black ones. Reflect on your past year's regrets, flaws you have, and mistakes you have made. Write these down on a piece of paper.

Burn the paper over the black candle, and say:

"As the snake sheds its skin,
So do I shed these ill things."

Drop the paper in the cauldron. Reflect on the things you wish to accomplish in your coming year, all traits you wish to acquire, and experiences you hope to gain. Write these down on a piece of paper.

Burn it over the white candle, and say:

"As the Lord and Lady watch over me, so shall I gain all these good things."

Drop the paper in the cauldron.

Anoint your feet with blessed water, saying:

"Blessed be my feet, that I may ever walk in Your ways."

Anoint your chest, saying:

"Blessed be my breast, that I may feel Your love for me."

Anoint your lips, saying:

"Blessed be my lips, that I may speak and honor the truth."

Anoint your eyes, saying:

"Blessed be my eyes, that I may clearly see the path before me."

Anoint your hands, saying:

"Blessed be my hands, that I may do Your work with strength and skill.

Close the circle.
