Today’s ritual tip: If you need to teach a chant do it before the ritual starts. Note that most people are not going to remember more than two or three lines of something new. It can be longer if lines repeat or if some people know it already.

Today’s ritual tip: If asked to take a part in a ritual, don’t say, “I’m not ready.” You’ll never be ready. Just do it. The more often you do it, the more ready you’ll be.
PS: They wouldn’t have asked if they thought you weren’t ready.

Today’s ritual tip: You might find a poem or song or activity that you think would be great in a ritual, but don’t just toss it into any ritual, wait for a ritual where it fits the purpose. Just because we like it doesn't mean it's gonna help.

Today’s ritual tip: Think of the parts of rituals as components. You can use that circle casting again, quarter calls again, save things that work to mix and match in the future. Don’t need to do everything from scratch every time.

Today’s ritual tip: When you are working alone you can do things more simply because it’s only your own energy you need to align to your purpose. With additional people, ceremonial actions help everyone get their energy aligned with the purpose.

Today’s ritual tip:
A ritual is like a one-act play; it benefits from a clear beginning, a peak point and a clear ending.

Today’s ritual tip:
Simple elemental calls, make up movements if you like:
I sing the song of Air
I dance the flame of Fire
I swim the dream of Water
My stillness is the Earth

Simple casting for solo work:
Circle round my heart
Circle round my head
Circle round my spirit

Today’s ritual tip: As you call a direction, really feel the earth under your feet, the water flowing over you, the breeze in the air, the fire within you. All these things are part of you so you are asking all of yourself to be present, too.
