Start your ritual facing the East. Check your Cardinal Points and make sure you are in the right position.
Turn to your left. Take an element of Earth out of your magical pouch, and while holding it, say:
Thank you, Element of Earth.
Thank you for grounding me.
Thank you for protecting me.
Thank you for nourishing me.
Bow to the element, and place it at the Northernmost point of your circle.
Turn to your left, and take your phial of Water out of your magical pouch. Sprinkle some on your hands, spread it on your arms, inhale it. (Florida Water works especially well for this.) Holding your bottle, say:
Thank you, Element of Water.
Thank you for cleansing me.
Thank you for balancing me.
Thank you for free-flowing me.
Set your phial at the Southernmost point of your circle. Bow to the element, and turn left.
To the South, take your candle from your pouch, and light it. While gazing into the flame, or through the flame and into the distance, say:
Thank you, Element of Fire.
Thank you for warming me.
Thank you for illuminating me.
Thank you for transforming me.
Now, take a sage stick from your magical pouch, and let it transform in the flame.
Set the candle down at the Southernmost point of your circle. Turn to the left. Blow on the sage, and smell the smoke. Say:
Thank you, Element of Air.
Thank you for expanding me.
Thank you for understanding me.
Thank you for communing me.
Blow on the sage, and prepare to smudge your aura.
