I thought I'd take some time to layout my ritual for tonight. I've taken a little for the wiccan practises, and mean no disrespect to anyone who thinks this is, in anyway, in violation of more traditional practises. Having not gone home last days off, and not much time to prepare, some of the components are improvised.

Components:
Marigold, dried
Sunflower seeds, shelled, unsalted
Myrrh incense
Yellow candle
Gravel or soil
6 hard boiled eggs (to be coloured, with any luck)
Water
Strawberries


A small circle will be made, walking clockwise, with the sunflower seeds as an offering to the Goddess; seeds to start life and bring fertility. Another circle will be made, with the dried marigold, as an offering to the God, to represent the sun and bring warmth to the seeds, and the goddess. Inside the circle, I will make 4 more, smaller circles, 1 for each of the elements to fuel the regrowth, to start the spring. Incence for Air, candle for Fire, water for Water and gravel for Earth. When the circles are cast, an offering of coloured eggs, and strawberries will be left, I'll meditate on the end of winter, the death of the old year, and the begining of the new one.
