Midsummer is an ideal time to perform love magic, healings, and all types of positive magick.
A Ritual
Make up a small pouch and fill it with herbs like lavender, chamomile, or vervain. Mentally pour all of your troubles and pain into the pouch. Tie it shut with a red string. Cast a circle, say:
I celebrate the noon of summer with mystic rites.
O great goddess and god,
all nature vibrates with your energies
and the Earth is bathed in warmth and life.
Now is the time of forgetting past cares and banes;
now is the time for purification.
o fiery sun,
burn away the unuseful,
the hurtful,
the baneful,
in your omnipotent power
Purify me!
Purify me!
Purify me!
Light a red candle.
Light the herbal pouch and drop it in some heat-proof container. say:
I banish you by the powers of the goddess and god, the sun, moon, and stars, by earth, air, fire, and wind!
Pause. Let the old hurts burn away. Say:
O gracious Godess and God,
on this night of Midsummer magick
I pray that you charge my life with wonder and joy.
help me in attuning with the energies adrift on the enchanted air.
I give thanks.
Close the circle and celebrate the Simple Feast.
