Honoring
Complete
preliminary manual or visual tasks
This would depend on what or who you're honoring; for me, the moon just inspires
something in me! You could do a ritual to honor the goddess/god of your choice,
or a Sabbat, or whatever moves you.
Dedicate cakes and wine
Offering
them to the honoree and dedicating them to your purpose.
Partake of cakes and wine
(Ok, so I include chocolate in this step, too! My coven sisters got me hooked
on this step! )
Working (Spell Casting)
Complete
preliminary manual or visual tasks
This would be any specific requirements defined by the spell
Raise power/energy
For this step, I seat myself on the ground, and meditate until my mind is
clear. When I reach this point, I begin drawing the energy into myself from
the ground. Imagine an extension from the base of your spine, down into the
ground, acting like an antenna to pull the energy to you.
Focus power/energy with the steps of the spell
Ground power/energy
It's important to spend some time letting the excess energy go. You may even
notice the beginnings of a headache at this point! Relaxing and letting the
energy drain will help
