Are there any Rituals that You practice everday?

[Teresa]

As the title of the thread says, I thought it would be interesting if people would post some of their regular rituals that they perform daily.

For myself : one thing I do is a daily bathing( or Shower) ritual where I visualize all the bad stuff flowing off of me down into the drain and I use this time to meditate on having a good day and using my energies wisely. I have been known to do chants as well .Sometimes I have music and candles or either or and even certains oils or soaps or scrubs. This simple ritual is altered by what my needs are. If I do not feel up to par then I imagine all the illness flowing out and down the drain. If I am in need of prosperity then I imagine my needs being met during my visualzations. When I am finished I feel full of energy and ready to take on the world.

So tell us if there is something that you do daily lets share some experiences!

I do the same as you if my hot water happens to be working. Other than that I cleanse myself nightly through visualisation also before sleeping

Well everyday i light a candle and say some pryers to my ancestors and then bitch at them lol. I do this most days but once in a while I forget.

I do two rituals on a daily basis. A Morning prayer to the Mighty Ones and my ancestors when I wake and I "smoor the fire" in honor of Brighde every night before I go to bed. I also have two rituals that I do with my son. I wrote both Wake-up and Good Night prayers for him that we say together when he wakes up and when he is going to sleep in which he says good night to everything around us, his family and his ancestors. He enjoys it very much.

Thats a really lovely idea, can you share that prayer with us? If not thats ok I understand it sounds really nice though :)

I offer thanks every night and every morning before going to sleep and after waking up. General thanks for the opportunity to be here and to learn and grow and experience all this. I used to take life for granted and not put much value on my life. That has changed. Now I offer thanks twice per day. And I began this back when my life looked like a big pile of crap to an outside observer, but I saw the value in it. When you're reduced to having nothing left, but your life, it changes perspective and you realize how important certain things are.

Also, I have a lot of guardians. I do specific things to put specific ones in specific places each day. And I work with Eshu at my front door every day before I open it and leave the house. These things are quick and easy and have helped major positive changes to occur.

I do a Salute to the Sun, and a quick mental clearout when I first wake up (a super quick light meditation). Prepare myself ready for the day, hope for nice weather...

I open, cleanse and close my chakra and aura in the shower with a visualisation.. and usually a song since I can't help but sing while im in there.

I do a Salute to the Moon before bed, relect on my day, journal (i consider this a daily introspection ritual) and give thanks for all im thankful for.

Depending on certain situation, I forget... or am so tired I just flop into bed at the end of the day. But I do it often. I'm hoping to add a longer weekly or daily meditation into my schedule to do some inner work on a few things that need attention and get back into the practice again. Hopefully I figure that out soon.

(fyi: Salute to the Sun and Salute to the Moon are yoga asanas)

I have also heard of women doing a small daily prayer and making taking their Pill a small daily ritual (usually to the/a Goddess), which I think is a nice idea... however I havent thought of how to do this personally yet, so I dont.

Edit: I also would like to start doing daily affirmations, probably before I go to bed , after I brush my teeth.

The gods and the goddess would be ashamed of me :ggrief:
I do not do anything on a daily basis. 8O
I do however celebrate the sabbats. I have a Beltane celebration coming up soon. Im getting all giddy about it. Anyone have 20ft of ribbon for the may pole? :rollingla

I don't mind sharing them at all. I am assuming you mean the ones I wrote for my son, though if you want the others as well, I'll also share those two.

When he gets up we say:

Wake-up bunnies
Wake-up deer
Wake-up birds
Wake-up bugs
Wake-up trees
Wake-up earth
Wake-up sun
Wake-up sky
Wake-up Mummy
Wake-up Daddy
Wake-up family*
Wake-up me

And at night, usually after reading the book Goodnight Moon we say this one:

Goodnight bunnies
Goodnight deer
Goodnight birds
Goodnight bugs
Goodnight trees
Goodnight moon
Goodnight stars
Goodnight Mummy
Goodnight Daddy
Goodnight family*
Goodnight me

They are simple and repetitive, but then he's only three and wouldn't want to do much more.

*family here is a reference to both our living family and ancestors

[arianrhods_daughter]

Yes I meant those ones :lol: Thanks for sharing that's really sweet :) simple yet easy to understand, especially for a 3 year old like you said :)

Morag -- "Goodnight Moon" was my fave book when I was little!! I am definitly going to get it for my kids, when I have them!


As for me, I say a prayer at night when I lay in bed, right before I go to sleep. A prayer in thanks to my Gods and Goddesses and ancestors.

I try to remember doing morning prayers as well, but I am not a morning person, and a very grouchy one. I also usually wake up the latest I can so I only have like 20-30 mins to get ready and leave for work/school LOL But I try as much as I can, I know my Gods & Goddesses know I have good intentions though!

[Teresa]

I also do some prayers and speak with my ancestors and the spirits in the morning and before I sleep everyday.

[mtpathy]

every morning and every evening i do the sun salutation,as well as integrate
basic postures into it.
i also meditate before work,then meditate before i go to bed.
