Topic: Book of Days
Over the past couple of weeks I have continued with preparations for my dedication ritual which I plan to hold on August 4th. This will be a night of the Noon Moon perfect for new beginnings. The candles I have purchased are on my permanent altar and on each Monday, for nine weeks, prior to the ceremony I will light the white candle and recite the following prayer:
"Gaurdians of the Gates I Welcome You. Protect me on my path toward dedication and initiation and, by your will, open the gates between the worlds so that I my request may be heard and acted upon without harm to myself. Gaurdian Angel, come to me, come to me. I need you. I invite you. Protect me on my path toward dedication and initiation. May whatever I need for the ceremony come to me. So mote it be" (Silver Ravenwolf: Solitary Witch).
I began this two weeks ago, also on the night of the New Moon.
I have and will continue to meditate nightly (or as much as possible).

This Book of Days will cronicle my journey through the Five Degree System of Shanddaramon presented in his book Self-Initiation for the Solitary Witch. This week I began preparations for my Dedication Ceremony. This has included writing the Ceremony and purchasing some of the items I will need. I bought three large candles at the Superstore - a green one to represent the Goddess, a red one to represent the God and a white one to represent Spirit, the single source. I also went to Angels to Avalon in hopes of finding my gift. I wanted something with a moonstone and was thinking of a pendent. Pat, the store owner, didn't have one in but said that she would pull some of her cataloges for me to take a look at sometime this week. She did have a beautiful moonstone ring though which I bought so either way I will be prepared. I also picked up the smaller candles that I will need - one black and one white. The black represents the darkness of the New Moon, Hope and new beginnings. The white represents the light that always follows the New Moon and manifestation of our hopes and dreams. I chose moonstone because it also relates to new beginnings. It is the stone for hoping and wishing.
