When things are going well in life it seems somehow easier to forget the practice’s we follow.\u00a0 For the past few year’s I have tried to be thankful on a daily basis and have used a ritual from The Craft Companion by Dorothy Morrison:<\/p>\n
Light a white candle and incense and say the following:<\/p>\n
I give you thanks for all you do<\/p>\n
For obstacles and smooth roads too<\/p>\n
For challenges that make me grow<\/p>\n
And all the pleasant things that show<\/p>\n
That you are looking aftr me<\/p>\n
I thank you Ancients Blessed Be!<\/p>\n
Then a few months ago I decided to write and implement my own Thanksgiving ritual also:<\/p>\n
Wise all knowing God and Goddess<\/p>\n
I try to walk the path just as I should<\/p>\n
And as I come to you when things are bad<\/p>\n
I come now when things are good<\/p>\n
I give to you my hertfelt thanks<\/p>\n
That things in life are going right<\/p>\n
And I also come to ask you<\/p>\n
Keep me in your protective light<\/p>\n
Now things are falling into place, and even some ahead<\/p>\n
But the swiftness with which the bad can come<\/p>\n
Is the change I truly dread<\/p>\n
I thank you for the joy life brings<\/p>\n
And it’s beauty every day<\/p>\n
I’m asking in this circle now<\/p>\n
For things to stay this way<\/p>\n
So please surround and shield us all<\/p>\n
From the harm of negativity<\/p>\n
As always I’m your Wiccan child<\/p>\n
Tis my will so mote it be<\/p>\n
The awesome thing about a thanksgiving ritual is that it keeps us focused on the positive, and that set’s us up to continue to attract the positive.\u00a0 As time has passed since I started using these the negative seems to visit far less often and the little things that remind me of whats good are so much easier to see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
