Special Notes: Time of the Horned God and the Lady of the Greenwood; honor of the house guardian.

Alter Supplies: incense; burner; chalice of water; salt; pentacle; dagger or sword; 4 Element candles; chalice of wine; wand. Somewhere within the circle area, the house guardian or his symbol, in whatever form you have choosen; perfumed oil.

With casting the circle as your basic starting point, perform the sample ritual, inserting the following steps where it states "proceed with your planned spellwork".

Raise your wand in greeting, saying:

I give greetings to the Goddess of things wild of trees, of skies and of waters. I do call upon you, lovely Lady, to be here with me.

Dance or at least march around the alter, beginning in the east, and moving clockwise. Pause to salute each Elemental quarter with raised arms. Move back to the alter when finished.

Blessed be the words of the Lady of May and the laughing Lord of the Greenwood. Let now thy great light come into me. I am a cup to be filled, that I may do what is needful. Blessed ever be the Lord and Lady!

Stand before the house guardian or symbol.

Lovely Lady, great Lord, I present to you the guardian of this house, the special spirit I have invited into my home as protector and helper. I honor this spirit in this symbol of its being. Great Ones, bless this guardian of this house. And to your blessings, I add my thanks. Blessed be.

This guardian symbol or statue is lightly annointed with perfumed oil. If the symbol is such that it cannot be oiled, at least swing the smoking incense burner around it.

Place the wine chalice on the pentacle for a few moments, then lift it high, saying:

Honor to the Old Gods! Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again.

Drink the wine, saving some to be put outside for the little people.
