FULL MOON CIRCLE (OCTOBER 23RD 2004)
CELEBRATION
(Ritual written by Gwyneira Morgana)

 
INTENT
This Full Moon we stand at the dawn of Beltane - the celebration that honours
fertility, growth, the time of the BIG SUN.
At this time we allow the
fullness of life to flow through our being, grounding into the Earth plane the bounty, beauty and full ness of spirit.
Our intent is then simple, to simply enjoy, to celebrate, to make merry,  and in doing so draw blessings into our own lives, the lives of our
Families, the circle, our
community country and world.
CIRCLE CASTING
After smudging, each person enters circle, walking deosil, singing:

Hey ho circle glow, guard this hearth, this home, this land
Hey ho circle glow, bring us peace and health and heart
Hey ho circle glow, speed our love our strength our power,
Hey ho circle glow, grant our dreams our wish
tonight

And then honour this land in song...
Song
Gundrah A oo noo Nungeenah tya
Gundrah Lah oo oo noo
Yahma koora, yahma koora
Nungeena tya
Yahma koora

INVOCATIONS
MANAWYDDAN

Manawyddan we call to thee,
To cross over to our circle and set your sails free.
To part the veil that is between the Otherworld and ours,
so that we may commune with the old ones, many
blessings there shall be.        
Manawyddan we call to thee,
you are brother to Bran and Branwen,
father of Pryderi, and love to Rhiannon,
bring them across the seas,
so that we may commune with the Shining Ones many blessings there shall be.

Ride forth from your faery mound
Rhiannon, heed our call
Bring to us your fertile magick
From your bounteous hall

to infuse us with Light & Love & Power this night.

WORKING
This night our working is simple, to sing, to celebrate, and by doing so ground the spirit of light and joy and fertility into this earth. As we do so, all may feel free to either write wishes for ourselves, our families, the circle, our community, country and/or world  and release it into the fire, or to jump over the fire, releasing their wish as they do so.

SONGS

SWEET SURRENDER   
We are opening up in sweet surrender
To the luminous love light of the One
We are opening, we are opening

FIRE OF CREATION   
 
It starts very quietly
It starts with a spark
It starts in the centre
It starts in the heart
Fire of creation
Fire of purification
Fire of transformation
Fire of illumination

I AM THE FIRE   

I am the fire and the union of opposites.
I am the mystery.
I am calling you in your dreams.
I am bringing you home to me.
A simple fire of flaming hearts

BURN FIRE
 
Burn fire, burn within me
kindled from eternal fire,
All the people that I see,
All the people part of me
One flame, many parts
A simple fire of flaming hearts
