Spring Maiden Ritual
Ritual tools
Chalice
wild water (dew, springwater)
athame
one white candle
crystals (onyx or tigers eye)
sea-salt
nine fruits with lots of seeds (I use rosehips)
A place to be ALONE preferably outdoors
Preparations
Take a salt-bath, and add some peppermint oil (if essential oil, 4-5 drops).
Soak until the water gets cold. Dry off, put on dark clothes. Not too many clothes, it will disturb your aura.
Go to wherever you are holding the ritual. If it is snowy and chilly outside, put on more clothes and jam your pockets with energy-raising crystals.
The ritual begins
Draw a circle of seasalt where you're going to perform the ritual.
Place the four candles at the four cardinal points.
Place the wild water-filled chalice in the West, the candle in the South, the athame in the East and the crystals in the North.
Invocation to Hecate
Hecate, min moder och mentor (Hecate, my mother and mentor)
Kom till mig i denna gryningen av en ny rstid. (Come to me at this dawn of a new season)
Och dela med dig av Kraften (and share with me the Magick)
Jag skall terbrda den trefaldigt (I will return it threefold)
Som det ar sagt (as it is said)
Lt det ske! (So mote it be!)
Place some yellow flowers on your altar, while reading this poem.
Vrjungfruns hymn
The Spring Maiden hymn
Gryningen kommer (Dawn comes)
och satter himmelen i brand. (and strikes fire in the sky)
Nu kommer Hon, (Now She comes,)
i en skrud gul som den uppstigande solen. (in a robe as yellow as the rising sun.)
Undan viker vintern, (Away goes the winter,)
dar Vrjungfrun gr fram. (where the Spring Maiden walks.)
Men latta steg kliver hon ver myllan, (With steps so light she wanders over the soil)
och i hennes fotspr gror frn. (and in her footsteps seeds grow.)
I sina gyllengula skrud, med armarna uppstrackta (In her golden robe, with arms in the air)
valkomnar hon solens terfdelse. (she greets the rebirth of the Sun.)
Bland tussilago dansar alvorna (Among coltsfeet the faeries dance)
och vacker de andra blommorna. (and awaken the other flowers.)
If the ground isn't frozen, bury the nine seeds by a birch-tree (if you don't have any birches in you area, choose another tree that speaks to you.)
Sacrifice
Med dessa nio frn (With these nine seeds)
och detta vilda vatten (and this wild water)
visar jag min goda vilja. (I pledge to you my good will.)
Throw out the wild water over the seeds. If it isn't too cold, sit outside in your circle until dawn the next day. Light a fire if you like, but outside the sacred circle.
When done; Thank the elements and Hecate. Dissolve the magickal circle. Go home.
