This is the New Moon ritual that I threw together. It worked out realy well I thought. It is missing parts that I just improvised, or (circle casting) my other half did. I hope you enjoy. By the way my spelling sucks and I am only going on a few hours sleep, becuse of a art show that happend this weekend. I hope you enjoy. oh.. by the way we did this the day after the new moon.. So....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Horned God Invocation
We call upon the Great Horned God Kernunnos to aid us tonight. Stag of the forest may our arrows of desire ring true in the mighty
hunt of life.

Goddess Invocation
Great Goddess Morrigan, It is to you we call. We hear your crow's cry and see you hovering above the battle
as you take away the souls of the dead. All will come to their fate and be taken away by you.
May you walk with us now and be welcome on this night.

Further Visualization
Visualize the dark moon above, then out comes the first sliver of light bringing in our new selves after taking away all we don't need.
Now, visualize the Horned God playing in the shadows dancing to the unheard tune of true happiness.

Horned Hunter help us hunt down and find the path to our desires
and let those thoughts that would see us fail die and be taken away by the Morrigan!!
So mote it be.


Opening
The wise accept the scourging that life deals and use it to study the nature of their true will, but it is foolish to think that the river cares
who fords it when in truth only in due time it will be broken away. When we act on our own true wills unrestricted, nothing holds us at bay other than that wich binds us or fords us for a time. But in time all things that shall ford us shall fail,  and with the aid of magick  with accordance of a directed will, it will always fall fast. Goddess and God let nothing ever hinder our spells, as we  invite change to come as need be and as  we will accept the rule of three for our actions.




Purpose
We are charging St. John's Wort to break the ford that binds our true will from being fruitfull. Using this charged St. John's Wort in future spells will add the element of the first sliver away from the dark moon to break and take away all the emotional influences that ford and bind us. Taken internally as an antidepressent it will take away our sorrows, as a talisman or gris-gris it will take away the projected thoughts of others who wish us failure. Burn with a picture of someone who hates you and their negative thoughts will be taken away in the smoke. Use to thwart the thoughts and painfull comments said by others who think your actions impossible to be accomplished.


Chant
Our choice willed together
Change be forever

Now we will consult divination to find what aspect we need to invoke in ourselves to complete our goals.
.              *hold up tarot deck and feel it charge
           
     "May the God and Goddess charge our tool of divination to show the commitments we need to make in order to complete
      the goals we have in mind. As the moon waxes may this commitment (if you choose it ) come naturally and as easily as can be."

*Pass deck around circle and ask all to shuffle with goal in mind. Then pass around to pick one card.





                                   

This is a ritual I made from an adaptation I found online. I tried to make it even more Pagan/Wiccan like. I would really like everyones opinion on it.
THE WICCAN RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (WRP)
By Azurin (Adopted from Paul Hume)
Cast your circle.
Call the elements.

Face North, Visualize a silver glowing disk (Moon) above you. Say IO EVOE HERTHA ('Blessed be Hertha,' or other Name by which you worship the Goddess as Creatrix)

Visualize far benieth and through the earth the sun Say IO EVOE CERNUNNOS ('Blessed be Cernunnos,' or other name by which you worship the Horned God as the Earth)

Extend right arm out palms up. Say EKO EKO AZARAK ('Hail, hail force of fire') send a beam of energy straight out to the ends of the universe from your heart and through your arm, and out

Extend left arm out palms up. Say EKO EKO AMELAK ('Hail, hail to the glory') send a beam of energy streight out to the ends of the universe from your heart and through your arm, and out

For a Masculine Wiccan:
Cross your arms in the horned God posture with feet together.
Visualize a beam of light descend to the earth and through to the sun on the other side. Feel the light. now take that same light and from your heart (Literally, and figuratively) up through your head and extend to the moon.(You now have an equal armed cross)
With beam connected to the moon, bring your left foot out to the side, and then bring your right foot out to the side, and extend your arms making your body into a Pentagram. let the moonlight descend and cover your body.
Say IO EVOE ('Blessed be.')

For a Feminine Wiccan:
put arms above head in the Goddess Posture with feet together.
Visualize a beam of silver light descend from the moon into your head and through your body to your heart. Drink in the moon. Visualize a beam of light coming up from the sun (Below the earth) to connect to your heart.(You now have an equal armed cross)
Now bring your left foot out to the side, and then bring your right foot out to the side,and extend your arms
Now let the moonlight descend from above but this time cover your body.
Say IO EVOE ('Blessed be.')

Stand in adoration and when Ready Say:
Before me HABONDIA, the Great Mother
Behind me CERNUNNOS, the Horned God
On my right hand HERNE The Huntsman
On my left hand ARADIA The Maiden
About me flames the pentagram
And above me shines the light of the Goddess.

Still in the position of the Pentagram, Re visualize up to the part that says (You now have an equal armed cross).

Thank the elements.
Close the circle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am quoting this from Paul Hume to give more visualization during the last adoration.
(This is taken directly from Paul Hume http://www.ecauldron.com/wiccanlbrp.php)

AIR-EAST: The Air image in Wicca seems to be masculine and relates to Herne, the Black Man, the messenger of the Gods, or the Sky Gods: Odin, or Lug as the rising Sun God. The God can be imagined as riding through the night sky, at the head of the Wild Hunt, or rising above the branches of the world-ash. Instead of the Sword given to Raphael, the God might carry a staff, or spear, or wand, which is attributed to Air in most Wiccan traditions.

FIRE-SOUTH: The Fire image is definitely masculine and relates to the Horned God: Cernunnos, Lucifer, call Him what you will. He stands in the hot light of the noonday sun, radiating fiery energy. He would bear an Athame or sword, which is the weapon of Fire in most Wiccan styles.

WATER-WEST: The Water image is the Maiden, the mistress of the Moon and the Tides: Aradia, Artemis, Venus rising from the waves. Her image is lit by the silver light of the moon, upon a tranquil reach of water or the foaming sea. She might hold the chalice, symbol of water (alternatively, the cauldron might be envisioned).

EARTH-NORTH: The Goddess in Her aspect as Earth Mother is here: Hertha, Habondia, Demeter. She stands beneath the golden, life-giving sun surrounded by the fruits of the Earth. Before her, a platter flows with good things of the Earth, for the disk/shield/platter is the pentacle, magick instrument of Earth. These are only bare sketches of the magickal images that a witch might use to replace the Qabalistic images of the traditional pentagram ritual. I offer them for what they are worth.
