DEDICATION RITUAL
DATE: February 1st, 1998 - Candlemas/Imbolc
TIME: 11:03 p.m.: *Sextile (60 degrees) - this aspect encourages communication, that is, exchange of understanding, between two planets. However, the interaction is generally not patent enough to contribute significantly to the work of either planet.
Pallas - symbolized our creative intelligence. She represents our intuition, flashes of genius, keen insights and our ability to formulate new and original thought, also represent our abilities to plan strategies that lead us to tangible results. She signifies artistic ability that comes from clear sight and the ability to understand whole patterns, she has the ability to draw the creative artist from within and to give it form. Pallas also governs healing and the holistic approach to healing therapies. Her primary role in healing is that of balancing the total psyche. Pallas needs to create new forms and structure; in Air signs (Gemini, Libra/Aquarius)
MOON PHASE: Moon in Aries and a time of enthusiasms and beginnings. Tendencies to impulsiveness and snap decisions are accentuated. This is a favorable time for any kind of beginning and for making changes. This is also a good time for work that requires skillful (though not necessarily patient) work with tools, particularly sharp cutting instruments. The first part of the Moon’s transit through Aries, when it is closer to Pisces, is a more spirtual time; a sense of rebirth is evident and the mind is inclined to consider deeper subjects. Nearer the middle of the transit, the strongest Aries tendencies are felt, which makes this and excellent time to seek inspiration need to be carefully watched especially as the Moon approaches.
ASTROLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE: Aries - Element: Fire, Quality-Cardinal, Planet-Mars. Aries signifies new beginning, spring, youth, the untried and is connected with one - the first. This sign is pioneering, exploring, air executive and leader. Aries is self-disciplined, with a dislike of supervision or demination. The Aries mentally is quick, direct, active and organized. Originally, individuality and independence are all Aries qualities. Aries never really grow old. Sense of adventure, curiosity, enthusiasm and need for variety, keep you youthful.

Face the center of the circle and say: “I am between the worlds now and I’m here to dedicate myself to the chosen spirtual path. The Circle is cast and we are between the worlds, beyond the bounds of time, where night and day, birth and death, joy and sorrow, meet as one.”

“Hear my words and know me! I shall be called a million names by all who speak! I am Eternal Maiden! I am Great Mother! I am the Old One who holds the immortal key! I am shrouded in Mystery, but I am known to every soul!”
“Hear my words and know me! Whenever the moon rises in the Heavens shall my children come to me. Better it be once a month when the moon is full, shall ye assemble in some secret place such as this and adore the spirit of I, I, who am the Queen of the Witches.”
“And under my watchful eye, my children shall be taught the mysteries of Earth & Nature, of the way of all Magick! That which is unknown shall be known and that which is hidden, shall be revealed, even the secluded soul shall be pierced with my light. From my cauldron, shall be drunk all knowledge and immortality.”
“Ye shall be free from slavery and ye shall dance, sing and feast. Music shall surround you, for mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and mine is also the joy of the Earth!”
“I do not demand Sacrifice! For behold, I am the Mother of all living things!”
“Create and Heal!”
“Be strong, yet gentle.”
“Be noble, yet reverent.”
“Bring forth and replenish”
“And, as does the cycle of the Moon ever begin to wax and wane and to grow forth again, as do the seasons from one to the next flow in smooth rhythm, from one to the next flow in smooth rhythm, from sowing to reaping to seeming death and rebirth... so will my children know their own pattern in both worlds!”
“And ye shall say these words...”
“I will love and harm none.”
