Prayer of offering

1 white votive candle
offering of your choice
picture of your loved one


Light a white votive candle. Lay your offering on your ancestral alter, or next to a picture of your special loved one. Hold your hands together in the prayer position. (Note: The prayer position that most of us are familiar with actually has magickal significance. When you hold your hands together, palm to palm, you are creating a flow of circular energy from the right palm, up your left arm, throught your heart chakra, and down your right arm into your right palm.) Say:


From the dawn of your birth
To the sunset of your death
I honor you.
From the missions you completed
To your duties left undone
I honor you.
From the seasons of your being
Through the cycle of your life
I honor you.
From your time beyond the veil
‘Til your earth entrance back again
May the angles support you
May Spirit surround you
May my healing love reach you
From this moment until the end of time.
So mote it be.

I do this every year. It is a very moving ritual.
