Invocation of the Gods:
Mother Earth & Father Sky
The gracious greators of me
The eternal... and ever-changing One's
Who are found nowhere... but appears everywhere
Beyond... and within all
Timeless... circle of the seasons
Unknowable mystery... known by all.
Lady & Lord of the dance... Mother & Father of all life
Be radiant within me... Engulf me with your love
See with my eyes, hear with my ears, breathe with my nostrils, touch with my hands, kiss with my lips,
Open my heart!
That I may live free at last
Joyful in the single song of all that is, was, or ever shall be!

I pray Oh great Ancestors of the past and I bid you honor, and a fond welcome.
Main Body of Ritual
Purpose:
I have come here tonight in ritual to celebrate the Mabon Sabbat. This is the fall equinox when night and day once again are equa, and the God is now in his wanning phase. As I enter this phase of the seasons the days will grow shorter and the nights longer.
Act of Power:
Chakra Balancing
“Let us begin by clearing and releasing all excess energy. Let all excess energy pour out of you –let any tension, stress, or anxiety pour out of you like water, running down your body and out through your feet into the Earth, where it may be reused for better purposes.
“Now, let us become aware of our Heart Chakra. Imagine it as a ball of clear white light glowing in the center of your chest. See the light as clear, strong, and bright, and if it is mottled or occluded in any way take a moment to clear it. Imagine the Heart Chakra like a sun inside your chest, glowing with light and energy and strength.
“Now from your heart Chakra, send down a beam of light into the Earth: see the beam of light going down through your body, through your legs, through your feet and into the Earth: down into the soil, deeper and deeper, into the rich Earth, down into the rock, deep into the bedrock, further and further through the rocky mantle of the Earth –until at last it enters the molten center of the Earth.
“Send your beam of light into the glowing magma, the warm and pulsing heart of Mother Earth. Feel the heat of it –feel the strength of it –feel the energy of the Earth. Glowing hot and golden: It is full of love and peace, strength and power.
“Now feel the golden energy of the Earth moving up through your beam of light –feel the strong energy of the Earth moving up through the bedrock, moving up through the soil, up through your feet and into your body –let the golden energy come up through your legs and into your torso to fill your Heart Chakra. Let the hot and glowing energy of the Earth fill your Heart Chakra –feel the warmth and strength and peace of the Earth filling your Heart, feel Her burning love and joy –let it fill your Heart Chakra then move out through your whole body –out into your shoulders and your abdomen, into your arms and your legs, all the way out to your fingers and toes, until you are filled completely with the golden light of the Earth.
“Savor the energy. Feel it flow through you, filling and suffusing you. Imagine the golden energy moving out from the edges of your physical body now, beginning to fill your aura. See the golden energy filling your aura, expanding and moving around you until you are surrounded by a ball of golden energy –until you and your aura are completely filled by the energy of the Earth.
“Now, become aware of your Heart Chakra again. As the strong and loving energy of the Earth fills you and moves within you, send up another beam of light from your Heart Chakra. Imagine this beam of light moving upward –up through your head, up into the air, out into the sky –feel the beam of light going up further and further, higher and higher –feel the beam of light moving up into the clouds, then past them, into the upper reaches of the atmosphere.
“Feel the energy of the heavens, airy and broadly expansive. Where Earth is hot and passionate, filled with warm emotion, the heavens are cool and analytical, free-floating and mercurial. The energy of the heavens is clear and precise, glittering with a silvery blue-white light.
“now imagine the energy of the heavens, begin to move down your beam of light, cool and glittering it moves down through the beam of light, down from the outer atmosphere into the clouds, down through the clouds into the sky, down, down –moving down the beam, down further until it enters through the top of your head, moving down through your neck and into your chest, to fill your Heart Chakra.
“Feel the cool, sharp energy of the heavens fill your Heart Chakra –feel its clarity and precision. Let it fill your Heart Chakra then move out through your whole body –out into your shoulders and your abdomen, into your arms and your legs, all the way out to your fingers and toes, until you are filled completely with the silvery light of the heavens.
“And now let the warm, loving energy of the Earth and the cool, determined energy of the heavens, come into balance within you. Feel the two energies balancing one another, bring your own energy and all of your Chakras into balance as they do so. Feel the movement of the energy within you, as they come into perfect balance and harmony.
“On this night of Equinox the Divine Mother Goddess and Divine Father God are in perfect harmony and balance. Let us too be in perfect balance. Mother Goddess and Father God, Bless us we pray with the love You share between Yourselves and with all things. May we too love as You, and may our lives be ever sweet.”
Chant:
Blessed Be the Mother Earth
Blessed Be the Father Sky
Blessed Be Their union within me!
"Blessed Be the Mother Earth
Blessed Be the Father Sky
Blessed Be Them in eternity!
"Blessed Be the Mother Earth
Blessed Be the Father Sky
Blessed Be Their Divine Harmony!
