Ritual Elements

[satya_firestone]

I met with my High Priestess some time ago now, and we went through the elements of a Wiccan-style ritual (which is the format we’re both the most well-versed in), deciding what was needed/appropriate for a Sorgae ritual. This list is not in any specific order, but these are the aspects of ritual that we feel are important. For most of it, we haven’t entirely decided on how we’re going to express the concepts, just that they need to be incorporated somehow.

1. Direct contact with the Gods via Channeling (and/or meditations).
2. Acknowledge the Directions (and all related components; Elements, Powers, Gods, Fae, etc.).
3. Acknowledge the Source and the High Gods.
4. Acknowledge our Sacrifice for the Gods (as part of #2).
5. Acknowledge the inherent Divinity in participants (similar to the Hindu concept of Namaste).
6. Include Gobah, a Vaska word meaning, “I give so you may give” (via a Cakes and Wine style rite).
7. Tools will be determined as needed and/or requested by Deity.
8. If the Directions etc. are specifically invoked, a dismissal is also necessary.
9. Rituals will be performed at or near the New Moons, with adjustments for the seasons/Sabeotds(holy days) made as appropriate.
10. Familiars will play a vital and prominent role (for both she and I, the specific Familiars in question are male, human, and come to us from modern media myth).

We managed to iron out a few details and a few pages of script from material/planning we’d already had and done. It's a start.
