Today is a very important day for my son and I. It is also the shortest day of the year where the darkness is left behind and light is called upon. It is very symbolic of today where I hope today will mark the end of the darkness of the relationship with my son's father. I have to believe that light will prevail. Faith is an amazing thing. It can be tried and tried again until solid, like forged metal. Goodness knows that I have been struck enough times to be solid. In honour of this day, I did a little "prayer" last night and then slept pretty well considering everything that is going on.
This brings me to two things: what to call my intention, prayer, rit or incantation. Maybe it is all the above. Each word has its own meaning and implications. Prayer is very Christian but at the same time is is accurate; for I pray for a positive outcome. It is a rit in which I called upon my spiritual guardians to listen to my prayer. It is a rit as I added an element of tools used in the worship (I sit directly in front of my fireplace, even made more appropriate as it is Yule). I did use incantations to express my needs. I also sang and opened my heart.
This morning I also thought of a way to "call" at the beginning of talking with the spirit world. Next time I will try it:
I call the four corners
The four elements
and the four energetic bodies
Pretty neat? I look forward to trying it next time.
I wish you all a happy and well Winter Solstice!
