Welcome everybody.
Thank you for being here.
Very excited about tonight's ceremony.
I'm going to invite you to close your eyes,
Place both your hands over your heart and start taking some beautiful nourishing breaths.
Starting to breathe into your heart.
Settling in.
Arriving in this space,
Arriving in your body.
Connecting with your breath.
Beautiful Goddess,
Thank you for this day.
Please guide and protect me as I honour your way.
Your light of protection,
I carry it strong.
No ill wishes or trouble can come along.
Nothing can harm me or weaken my soul.
Because light is my weapon and peace is my goal.
May the universe surround us all with its beautiful light and love to protect and shield us from above.
Surrounding us with a shield so bright,
Keeping us safe both day and night.
Breathing in that light.
Breathing in that love.
Feeling that beautiful white light wrapping around you like a warm blanket.
As you breathe it into your heart.
Allowing that light to bring us all together in this space tonight.
To energize us.
To protect us.
And to keep us connected.
Breathing it into your heart.
Taking one more nice deep nourishing inhale.
And a long,
Slow exhale.
And when you're ready,
I invite you to hold your cacao.
Feeling its warmth in your hands.
Starting to smell its beautiful aroma.
Perhaps even placing your mug directly against your chest so that you feel the warmth in your heart.
With deep gratitude we honour Mama Kakao and the sacred medicine she offers.
Gratitude for her grounding presence and her heart-opening magic.
We give thanks to the ancestors,
The wisdom keepers,
And the traditional custodians of the sacred lands from which this cacao was born.
We pay respects to the farmers.
To the hands that planted,
Tended and harvested this cacao before it found its way into our cups tonight.
We offer gratitude to the Earth that grew Mama Cacao.
The reins that nourished her.
The sun that warmed her and the winds that carried her here.
May we receive this cacao with open hearts.
And deep respect as we gather together tonight to remember the magic.
That has always lived within us.
The ancient ones believed.
Every element carried its own wisdom.
So tonight,
With the gift of cacao,
We'll journey through those elements with each intentional sip.
With our first sip together.
May we feel the earth beneath us.
Growing deep roots.
Belonging.
As we sip,
Feel the power of Earth within us.
Breathing into the energy of that sip,
Allowing the earth to hold you.
With our next Sit Together.
May we feel the air around us singing her soft sacred song.
As we sip,
Feel the power of air within us.
Breathing into the energy of that sit.
Allow the air to breathe life into you.
Their necks sit together.
May we feel the fire burn away.
Was not true.
As we sit.
Feel the power of fire within us.
Breathing into the energy of that sip.
Allow the fire to renew you.
With our next sip together.
May we feel the water wash away old emotions,
Making us new.
As we sip,
Feel the power of the water within us.
Breathing into the energy of that sip.
Allow the water to cleanse you.
With our next sip together.
May we feel spirit calling us home to ourselves,
Whispering,
You are free.
As we sip,
Feel the power of Spirit within us.
Breezing into the energy of that sip.
Allow spirit to guide you.
Breathing into your heart.
Connecting in with each of those elements.
The earth,
The air,
The fire,
The water.
And spirit.
I invite you to continue sipping your cacao.
As you connect in with each of those elements and tonight's song.
Hmmmm.

Those elements are within you.
The grounding,
The breath of life,
The fire,
The water that cleanses you,
And spirit to guide you.
If you are still sipping on your cacao,
That is okay.
You can keep sipping.
Otherwise,
I invite you to make yourself nice and comfortable.
Continue taking nourishing breaths,
Feeling the warmth of your cacao flowing through your body.
Softening the places that you've been holding tightly.
Quietening your mind.
As we gently open the doorway to our hearts.
With each breath you become a little lighter.
A little more present,
A little more connected to the ancient wisdom that has always lived within you.
Your mind's eye.
I invite you to imagine yourself walking along a winding forest path,
Beneath towering trees,
The air is cool and rich with the scent of moss,
Earth and cedar.
Tiny beams of golden light dances between the branches as birds sing softly overhead.
The path leads you to a hidden clearing.
In the centre stands a beautiful altar.
Lovingly prepared just for you.
Have velvet cloth drapes across the table.
Candles flicker gently in the stillness.
Crystals sparkle like stars.
Bundles of herbs are hanging,
Filling the air with their earthly fragrance.
Ancient tools,
Feathers,
Bowls,
Shells and various treasures surround you.
Each holding the energy of those who have walked this path before you.
This is a sacred space.
A place where nothing needs fixing.
A place where everything you seek already exists within you.
In the centre of the altar sits a tiny glass bottle.
It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Small enough to slip into your pocket.
Yet this tiny bottle.
Is powerful enough to hold your intentions.
Tonight at this sacred altar.
You will create your own goddess power spell jar,
A talisman to remind you of the woman you already are.
Take a moment to hold the empty jar.
Not just how light it feels.
It's ready to be filled.
Beside you rests a single black candle.
When you feel ready,
Strike a match and light the candle.
Watch the flame come alive.
The black candle burns,
Not with darkness,
But with protection.
Its flame creates a circle of safety around your work,
Allowing only love,
Wisdom and truth to enter this sacred space.
Taking a deep nourishing breath.
It's time to begin.
The first element that we add to our spell jar is a pinch of black salt.
As it falls into the jar,
Whisper quietly,
I honour my inner witch.
The witch is your intuition.
Your deep knowing,
The ancient part of you that remembers the cycles of the moon.
It trusts your instincts and sees magic in the ordinary.
Next,
Add fragrant basil.
Feel its vibrant energy filling the bottle,
As you whisper,
I honour my warrior.
The warrior is your courage.
The part of you that sets healthy boundaries.
That rises after every fall.
And keeps choosing yourself,
Even when it's difficult.
Next,
We sprinkle in some frankincense.
Breathe in its grounding aroma.
As you whisper,
I honour my wild spirit.
The wild one cannot be tamed.
She laughs loudly.
Creates freely.
Dances beneath the stars.
And remembers that life is meant to be lived,
Not just survived.
Now gently place a bay leaf inside your bottle.
As you whisper.
I honour my wounded heart.
The wounded part of you,
No longer asked to be hidden.
She simply asked to be loved.
Every scar has become a doorway to compassion.
Every tear has watered her becoming.
Next,
We scatter delicate sunflower petals into the jar.
As we whisper,
I honour my wise self.
Your wise has always been here.
The one who has gathered every lesson.
Every season,
Every joy and heartbreak.
Transforming experiences into wisdom.
And finally,
Place a piece of lapis lazuli into your bottle.
Feel its cool weight settling into place.
As you whisper,
I honor my inner oracle.
The voice of intuition.
Quiet whisper beneath all the noise.
The knowing that has never left you.
Your jar is now blowing softly with the energy of every sacred part of yourself.
Then your eyes are drawn to a tiny scroll tied with black ribbon.
Carefully unroll it.
And written in beautiful script.
Other words.
I am a living goddess,
Draped in stars for skin.
Here to remember my brilliance and the light deep within.
Take a slow breath.
As we repeat these words.
Allowing each sentence to settle in your bones.
I am a living goddess draped in stars for skin Here to remember my brilliance and the light I am a living goddess Draped in stars for skin Here to remember my brilliance and the light deep within I am a living goddess dreamed in stars for skin Here to remember my brilliance and the light deep within.
When you are ready,
Gently roll that scroll back up and place it inside the spell jar.
Seal the bottle with its cork.
And pick up that black candle.
Slowly allow the warm wax to drip over the stopper,
Sealing your intentions with protection,
Trust and devotion.
As the wax cools.
Your spell is complete.
Hold the jar between your hands.
Feel its gentle warmth.
Know that every ingredient was never something that you needed to gain.
Only something.
That you were remembering.
Taking another deep breath,
And repeat after me.
I claim my goddess sovereignty.
The witch walks beside me.
The warrior lives within me.
The wild spirit dances through me.
The wounded heart is honoured within me.
The wise woman guides me.
My intuition is clear.
My light is unwavering.
My magic is remembered.
I am whole.
I am powerful.
I am enough.
The goddess is not outside of me.
The goddess is within me.
And so it is.
I claim my goddess sovereignty The elements of which,
Warrior wild Wounded and wise are within me Scissors.
I claim my goddess sovereignty The elements of witch,
Warrior,
Wild Wounded and wise are within me assist I claim my goddess sovereignty.
The elements of witch,
Warrior,
Wild,
Wounded,
And wise are within me.
The goddess is with me.
As you leave this sacred clearing.
Walking back through the forest hole.
Holding your spell jar tightly in your hands.
Just imagine your jar becoming smaller and smaller until it is no larger than a seed.
Gently place it inside your heart,
Where it will travel with you always.
Whenever life feels uncertain.
Whenever you forget who you are.
Simply place your hand over your heart and know that your spell is still there.
Your witch remembers.
Your warrior rises.
Your wild spirit still sings.
Your wounded heart is held.
Your wise woman is waiting.
You have never walked without them.
Thank you,
And blessed be.
