First, do a basic prayer. You don't really need anything, but to heighten the mood, and if you have some free time, get a tall candle and light it, then place it in front of you, on the ground or on a table, so you may concentrate. If you don't have a candle imagine one in front of you in your mind. You don't need to kneel or bow. Simply sitting or standing is good enough. Close your eyes or concentrate on the real or imaginary candle, as you connect to the magick around you.
You should start to feel a bit different, but do not dwell on this feeling too much. Take a deep breath and relax. Try to connect with your inner Element of the Earth and become attuned to the magickal beings around you. If you are outdoors, some may choose to reveal themselves to you if you are true of heart and true to your spirit. It's not about doing wrong, but instead simply being truthful to yourself and knowing what you truly are. If you are in denial about your calling, this may not apply.
Once you find and connect to your Element or at least feel different, begin to ask for a higher power to reveal itself. It will soon enough, mentally or physically, and will reveal to you your Element or their names, if you are ready. This higher power is the Elements of the Earth.
By now you should start to feel calmer, and that means you are ready to be done. Simply thank the Elements of the Earth and imagine sending a message to them saying you are complete with your beginning of belief. They will surely understand and prepare you for your calling, if you have not yet found it.
You have done good enough! Blow out your physical or mental candle, and bring your palms together. Don't bow or anything formal, just smile. Inwardly, if you have to. You just found a spiritual path, and took it.
If you are still not calm or don't feel like something's right, you may have too strong magickal powers in your current environment. It's all right for that to be. Just imagine a force field around you, protecting and purifying your spiritual path. If that works, congratulations, you just completed your first spell.
This is a calming ritual and prayer to calm and soothe your soul, or remove small taints of impurity or impure actions. If you wish to perform it again, skip the asking of the Elements. Instead, ask them about what your destiny is, or what else you have in store farther down your path.
This is just a basic ritual, for starters or just for self-healing. More rituals and spells are posted on the main page. www.zethonian.blogspot.com
May the Elements bless and keep you safe on your spiritual journey.
