Why ritual?

Last night I started the 3 week course, Herbs, Ritual & Sacred Ceremony, with Robin Rose Bennett, a Green Witch who is based in New York. Since Robin typically only teaches on the East Coast, it's a wonderful opportunity to learn from her via Zoomland.

In our session Robin asked: "Why am I doing ritual?"

Robin presented us with many reasons, some of which really resonated:

  • Co-creating with the magick of the world

  • Support in releasing, letting go, & creating space

  • Connecting to the intelligence of Nature

  • Listening for & receiving guidance

  • Reminder I'm a spiritual being

The last one got me to think about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's quote:

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Integrating ritual into my life is how I remember that I'm a spiritual being. When I practice ritual with the Moon, I remember that I too am a part of Nature.

Wherever you are in your relationship with ritual, the phases of the Moon, or identifying yourself as a spiritual being: YOU are welcome to join Full Moon Ritual.

You don't need to believe in magick to participate in Full Moon Ritual, ya just gotta be willing to suspend disbelief.
