I'm honestly not 100% sure what I'm looking for here. I'm turning twenty tomorrow, and I'm terrified. But it's such a transition period for me, and the past year has been a transition period to the degree that I'm not even sure who I am anymore, but at least I'm not who I was. I'm looking for, well, I guess it would be a ritual, but here's the key: many of the things I used to believe in, and that are believed by the group, I don't believe in anymore. So if it's something that's going to feel really really silly with all the 'magick' pulled away from it, it might not work as well. But I want something to acknowledge that I'm not who I used to be, but who I used to be is a facet of who I am now.

I got my hair cut already, which ended up being hugely symbolic, because I used to have waist-length hair, and I donated twenty inches of it to Locks of Love. I don't look anything like I used to, and I love it.

And just to put fears to rest: Yes, I will still cast a circle, and invoke... what's now become my interpretation of Spirit, which still has heavy symbolism for me even outside a religious context because my interpretation is no longer spiritual.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your input.

Well Happy Birthday! I don't know of any particular rituals, I don't do any myself really sweatdrop I would suggest taking some time and meditating on how, why and in what ways you have changed over the past year. Spend some time by yourself just to reflect.

Happy Birthday!!!

I found this a while back and saved it. Usually I tend to tinker around with spells and rituals that I find on the internet, but I really liked this one just the way it was.

Quote:
A Birthday Ritual

Cast your circle. Call Quarters. Invoke Goddess and God.

Take a few moments to ground and center and when you are ready…

* Imagine your body surrounded by a glowing black bubble (at first it‘s sort of a grey color, but the more it absorbs the darker it becomes).

* Imagine it absorbing all the thoughts and habits that we no longer need and are ready to let go of, negative energy, etc… Take a moment as well, to reflect on your past year, reflect on regrets, flaws you have, mistakes you have made, take any lessons you may wish to keep, but allow the bubble to absorb the rest.

* Then imagine the bubble slowly drifting away from you, caught up on the breeze, drifting away until it has completely disappeared, leaving you feeling cleansed and purified, ready for new beginnings.

* Take a moment and enjoy this feeling, revel in it, if you feel called you may even do a little dance of joy, and when you are ready…

* Imagine your body surrounded by a glowing white bubble . This time you will project images of all your positive thoughts for the future, things you wish to be successful in, positive changes you will to be manifest, etc… Reflect, as well, on the specific things you wish to accomplish in your coming year, all traits you wish to acquire, experiences you hope to gain, letting it all be absorbed by the bubble. With each positive thought absorbed, the bubble begins to glow even brighter, finally it shines so brightly that it is almost blinding in its brilliance. Bask for a moment in it’s glow.

* Where as before you sent away all the negative things that we no longer needed, this time you will take the positive into yourself…you feel the bubble begin to conform to the shape of your body, you feel it slowly sinking into your skin, a glowing beacon being drawn down into your core, becoming a part of your very being.

* Take a few moments and feel this bright power infuse you…knowing that you are now have the ability to accomplish all that you set your mind to, and more.

* When you are ready say the following (out loud or silently in your mind - either way the God/ess will hear you):

"As this glowing beacon burns bright within me, so may the light of my
journey burn bright with happiness and gifts from the Lord and the Lady in
this coming year. On this day of my birth, may my magic be replenished
and empowered. May my body be flushed with the light of the Lord and the Lady."


Thank the God and Goddess and close the circle.
