Begin by setting up
your altar as you normally do for ritual, making sure you have a black candle and wine or water in your
chalice in addition to anything else you use. You will also need a cleansing,
purifying incense and a censer or
some kind of container which can be carried around your home.
It is best to set your altar on
the floor for this rite, but you may do it however you feel most comfortable.
Cast your circle as you normally
do. When you are through, kneel before your altar and light the black
candle. With your arms held, palms
upward, at your sides, call Hecate by saying three times:
"Hecate, beautiful Crone of Night
I call you here to put things right.
Transform the negative thought and
pain
And help my life be whole again."
Close your eyes. When you feel the
presence of Hecate and know she is there to help you, open
your eyes.
Bow your head to her to show your
reverence, and then take the chalice, saying:
"Lady of the Dark Moon,
Share with me this wine. Bring your protection to Flood this life of mine.
May the waters of your eternal womb
Bring change most divine."
Sip a small amount of
the wine (or water), envisioning it as liquid energy, flowing to effect a positive change within and outside
of you. Leave the rest as an offering to Hecate. Light the purifying incense in the censer, cut a door
in the Circle, and, beginning in the
eastern-most corner of your home,
smudge your home, going clockwise.
Go into every closet,
the bathroom, and the garage - make sure your entire house is smudged. As you go, chant:
"Negativity be gone."
Come back into the Circle
and visualize your entire house and yard bathed in a peaceful blue light. Since you have created a void
by banishing the negativity, you will need to fill that void.
Ask that good, protective
spirits come into your home and that positive energies replace the negative ones that have just been banished.
Thank Hecate.
Meditate if you wish, visualizing
your life free from negative happenings and feelings and
full of love, prosperity, and happiness.
Feel how She has changed your home and your life.
Close the Circle and know that it
is done.
