The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
Yea... and perhaps sliced sideways like this to reveal the pentagram

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
We're going to need an evocation type of welcome to the ancestors.
This is coming along nicely!
Keep it coming!

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
All of you who are so dear
We call you to the circle near,
Ancestors who watch over me now
Your words in my ear attest to your vow
Of wisdom and knowledge from your realm to mine
A moment of love and contact Devine
We thank you this night
For entering our sight
And lending this moment here
To releasing all from any fear
Of connecting to realms beyond
And strengthen our love and bond
Gah!
That last section needs some work, it just does not flow well. Does it need another section? It would be nice to add "thanks" as well...somehow

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
I think it is beautiful Firebird. If you want to add another section you can, but I think it is really pretty. I was also wondering, does anyone do a remembrance for their animals that have passed on Samhain? I was thinking about making a plate and cutting pieces of apples and carrots as offerings. All my babies loved them.

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
ok I see the bubbles simmering on the surface of the cauldron ...let's review what we have so far...
* Reading cloth- black or orange
* Time of day- Evening
* Stones- Clear quartz
* Tarot deck -(RavenClaw had good success with the Alchemy 1977 England tarot https://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/a ... 7-england/) but any tarot deck will do.
* Candles - Black and/or Red
* Magical tea- (we'll make beforehand, to open the psychic senses)
* Herbs for Tea- Any combination of these: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, galangal, cloves, lemongrass, jasmine, rosemary, lavender, BUT with 1/2tsp. Mugwort as a main ingredient (the bitterness of death); add 1tbs. honey (to stay connected to the sweetness of life.)
* Pomegranate and an apple- w/knife to cut it (the fruit of death/the fruit of re-birth)
* Plate for food offering- (we will be using some pomegranate kernels and apple but you can also offer some of your dinner meal)
* Drink offering- (just added to the food offering plate) use a beverage that was a particular ancestors favorite if wishing to connect with one ancestor, otherwise water/wine/ale are typical.
* Animal ancestor offering plate-, with kibble or other animal favorites
* evocation type call to the ancestors-???...still working on it, please feel free to tweek or add to the one earlier in the thread
* Incense-??? I am recommending rosemary (as it is excellent for memories) with frankincense (which helps for psychic connections) and a pinch of mugwort (excellent for psychic work)
This ancestor connection spell is being stirred up Special with the energy of October-Hallows time/season to be used as a supplement to your Samhain /moon-full or dark Rituals but will be designed in such a way that it can be used anytime of the year that you wish to connect with an ancestor.
(Decorate as you will... or not. Cast circle as you are accustomed... or not)
Stir the cauldron, stir it round...what else is there to be found?? What are we missing? anything?
this boiling is getting intense, it could be ready very soon. Please add your last minute thoughts.
Blessings, Firebird

This spell feels complete to me.

ANCESTOR CONNECTION SPELL/AND READING
This ancestor connection spell was stirred up Special with the energy of October-Hallows time/season to be used as a supplement to your Samhain Ritual moon-full or dark but is designed in such a way that it can be used anytime of the year that you wish to connect with an ancestor.
Preform in the Evening.
Your brew stirrers:
RavenClaw
Anubisa
FirbirdFlys
Things you will need:
* Reading cloth- black or orange
* Stone- Clear quartz
* Tarot deck -(RavenClaw had good success with the Alchemy 1977 England tarot https://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/a ... 7-england/) but any tarot deck will do.
* 2 Candles - Black and/or Red, any combo, red-black/ black-black/ red -red.
* Magical tea- (we'll make beforehand, (to open the psychic senses))
* Herbs for Tea- Any combination of these: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, galangal, cloves, lemongrass, jasmine, rosemary, lavender,
BUT with 1/2tsp. Mugwort as a main ingredient (the bitterness of death); add 1tbs. honey (to stay connected to the sweetness of life.)
* Pomegranate and an apple- w/knife to cut it (the fruit of death/the fruit of re-birth)
* Plate for food offering- (we will be using some pomegranate kernels and apple but you can also offer some of your dinner meal)
* Drink offering- (just added to the food offering plate) use a beverage that was a particular ancestors favorite if wishing to connect with one ancestor, otherwise water/wine/ale are typical.
* Animal ancestor offering plate-, with kibble or other animal favorites
* printed copy of ancestor Evocation/Thanks (quoted below in two parts)
* Incense- Rosemary (as it is excellent for memories) with Frankincense (which helps for psychic connections) and a pinch of Mugwort (excellent for psychic work)
The spell
Set Up area with candles and cards between them, crystal and teacup nearby, brew the tea, light the incense.
When you are back in working space, Cast circle if you wish. Use any other tools you are accustomed to.
Now standing before the altar with the cards and candles...
* Take several deep breaths (9 are good)
* Take up the crystal and request the strength and clarity of the stone to be present with you through this ceremony.
* Light the red/and or black candles 2,
* Add incense to burner
* Cut pomegranate and whisper some bardic words, such as (the fruit of death reveals the blood of life) Take a few kernels and spread them on the offering plate.
* Cut the apple as demonstrated viewtopic.php?p=297808#p297808 and say something bardic, like (the apple if re-birth reveals the pentagram of life) Place it on the offering plate in such a way that pentagram is visible.
* Pour some tea and sip thoughtfully, reflecting upon those who have gone before. Spend some time with this, give the brew a chance to work in your head, enjoy the night and the candle light, add some more incense. When you have felt the shift,
* Eat three pomegranate seeds (opening the realm of the underworld/otherworld for you)
* Speak the evocation:
* Shuffle your cards and do reading layout of your choice, as you read see if you can discern the ancestor you may be connecting with, This might be obvious from the cards that come up in the attitudes of someone you know who would say that. It may not be familiar, sit with the cards and the energy of the evening, meditating for a time to see if anyone/anything comes up and take note of who you contact, record your reading if you think you should, which is a wise practice if reading is done on Samhain, as these tend to be a message for the year.All of you who are so dear
We call you to the circle near,

With a moment of love and contact Devine
**An alternative is a one card reading for connection message from the ancestors at other times of the year.
When you are done,
Say the words of thanks:
* Take a bite of the apple, say something bardic like, through the fruit of re-birth I am back in this world or All that dies shall be reborn, etc..Thank you Ancestors on this night,
For entering into our magic sight.
And and parting thinning veils here,
Then releasing all dread and fear,
Of connecting to sacred realms beyond,
And strengthening now our love and bond.
* Partake in the sharing of drink and fruit with the land (you can take some of the fruit to eat if you like, but always leave a portion)
* Extinguish candles
* Close space as you are accustomed
* Leave offering plates out overnight or take offerings to leave on the earth somewhere.
So Mote It Be

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
So here we are a few days into November, hope you all had a blessed Samhain. Feels like the veil is still thin.
In any case, the activity on this thread was sparsely attended, and while I do appreciate NeverMoonAWerewolf's effort to bring it back to life, there wasn't much feedback. It's really a lot of work to assemble with very little reward.
If anyone else would like to take a stab at it please feel free. It's really pretty interesting to see how we all can contribute to stirring up a spell.
So for now the pot will simmer until someone stokes the fire.
Much thanks to NeverMoonAWerewolf, Anubisa and RavenClaw for their efforts, oh and Seraphin, thanks for stopping by.
Many bubbly blessings, Firebird

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
I hope we can create another spell for Winter Solstice. I find it fun that we get together and create spells. However, I agree with you Firebird, it doesn't seem like anyone is attending. Is there anything else we can do?

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
I'm always willing, if you want to stoke the fire for Yule I think it's a good idea, it's a ways off and plenty of time for input.

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
I'm willing to attend for Yule, it will be my first. I had some things prepared to celebrate Samhain, but my mind was not right for it. I will keep an eye on this thread for education. I'll also do some research.

Re: The Bubbling Cauldron revisited
I agree with you firebirdflys about the level of activity. It was a good experience for me to participate with a group and thank you for the opportunity whichever direction this thread takes.
