Ritual Steps
Cleanse Your Space
Use smoke, sound, or intention. Say: “I clear this space of all that does not serve the highest good.”
Set Up Your Altar
Place the bowl of soil/salt, candle, and crystal in front of you, facing North. Place your offering nearby.
Ground Yourself
Sit or stand firmly, close your eyes, and visualize roots growing from your feet into the Earth.
Light the Candle
As you light it, say: “I call upon the Spirits of the North, keepers of Earth, stone, and bone.
Guardians of wisdom, ancestors, and the ancient mountains. Be present with me now.”
Place Your Hands on the Earth (or Soil Bowl)
Whisper:
“Ground me. Guide me. Strengthen me. Let my heart be as steady as the stones. May I listen well and walk with purpose.”
Offer the Gift
Gently place your offering on the soil or at the base of a tree later. Say: “Spirits of the North, I honor you with gratitude. Accept this gift as a token of my respect. May the roots of my life grow deep and true.”
Listen in Silence
Take a few moments of quiet to feel any messages or sensations from the Earth or the spirits.
Close the Ritual
Ring a bell or chime (optional), then say: “Thank you, Spirits of the North. I walk away grounded, grateful, and guided. So it is.”
Snuff the Candle (don’t blow it out).
Optional Affirmation:
“I am rooted, I am still.
The Earth holds me and speaks to me.
In the silence, I find truth.”
