Rose petal circle ceremony of dedication<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose ritual for beauty <\/span>[Do this on a Waxing Moon]<\/p>\n

Respect a rose before this, and ask if it\u2019s o.k. to take one. Cut a rose at stem length [same size as store brought]. Look into a mirror and smile at yourself. Look deeply into your eyes and see a pink glow there, smile again. Take a mixture of 3ml Olive oil and 3 drops rose essential oil; with your second finger on your power hand, circle the outside of the rose. Then after touching the rose, get more oil; place a circle upon your forehead. Look deeply into your eyes, smile again and say the words \u201cBlessed Be\u201d. Keep the rose until the full moon arrives and then bury it, close to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ring a bell over the book and say~<\/p>\n

\u201cMay love stem; both within and without;<\/p>\n

Never to have another stifling doubt\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

End with \u201cBlessed be\u201d, end the circle in your usual way and wash your hands. If the oil stings at any time, it is handy to have some hand gel next to you just in case it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n
