After doing a strong purification, casting a circle, calling the
quarters, and doing a strong "tree meditation" (as in Starhawk's
Spiral Dance):
o Visualize the essence of each of the elemental energies
within and say affirmations identifying with each of the
elements, and with what you affirm:
- "I am Earth, I am centered and strong. I am the vessel
through which my True Will manifests.
- I am Air, I am focused. My mind is keen and tuned to
reveal my True Will.
- I am Fire, I have the power within to know my True Will
and to act upon it.
- I am Water, I am sensitive, intuitive, and magickal.
The waters of my inner consciousness are calm, clear
and clean. I am able to see into my depths and to know
my True Will.
- I am Spirit. I am all that is. I am Balance and
Unity. I am that from which my True Will comes."
o Consecrate a candle with five elemental tools and do a free
form chant to dedicate the candle to aid in knowing your
true will.
o Light the candle and place it in front of you.
o Gazing at the candle, meditate on the following, one at a
time: Know thyself, areas where your are uncertain of your
true will, your commitment to act on your True Will when you
know it, and spiritual growth from knowledge of self.
o Then chant until you feel unity with the light from the
flame "Candle light, candle glow, inner sight, will to
know."
o You should then go into a trance and get direct messages
from deep within.
o When you have received what you need, tell yourself to
remember your insights and take a few deep breaths and
return to the circle.
o Then say something like "though I extinguish this candle
flame and end this rite, may I always be aware of the flame
of will that burns within me, and may I always act according
to my True Will, born of Spirit. So mote it be" and blow
out the candle.
o Do cakes and wine, ground, and dismiss the quarters and
spirit.
