Last month I shared some documents with you to consider adding to your BOS. This month I want to share some brainstorming prompts to use as you fill more of your BOS pages. On first glance this month\u2019s article may appear less robust than most but I assure you that if you work with each of the questions in a thoughtful and authentic way, you will have more than enough to keep you occupied. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So, let\u2019s get started. Some of these will become checklists for crafting your own rituals. Others are in the moment wanderings and others are for the intention of having a strong foundation to grow upon. Be honest, as no one else will be reading or critiquing. Take as much time as you need with one before moving on to the next. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sabbats:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What are your favorite three (3) Sabbats? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Why? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How do they differ from one another? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How are they similar?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Which one (1) of these would be best suited to celebrate alone?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What would that celebration look like?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What would be the highlight of your solitary ritual?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deity:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What pantheon are you drawn to?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Do you have any familial lineage within that Pantheon?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Which God is your favorite?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Which Goddess is your favorite?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you were able to spend the day with either your favorite God or Goddess, who would you pick?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Why?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What characteristic do you identify most with regarding that Deity?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Where do you express that energy within yourself?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Magick:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What purpose does Magick serve for you?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How does Magick serve others?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What identifies something as an act of Magick in your opinion?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What has been your most Magickal act?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How much effort did you put into your intention?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How much thought was given to the ethics of the Magick?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How will you determine when to use Magick?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Personal Mission Statement:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What would your personal mission statement be?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n What are your goals for your magickal practice?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How will you know when you have achieved your mission?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How will you adapt and modify what you\u2019ve formulated as your mission statement?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Is there success in failure?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Is there failure in success?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Parting Thought:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n How would you like to be remembered?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next Month:<\/b><\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your BOS and YOU<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n About the Author:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Robin Fennelly\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>is a Third Degree Initiate within\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>The Assembly of the Sacred Wheel Tradition<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span>\u00a0and serves as High Priestess of\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>C<\/a>oven of the Mystic Path<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span>, the 12th Coven\u00a0within the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel Tradition.
