Grounding is simply the releasing of excess energy from yourself into the earth so that you can return to a "normal" state of consiousness. Without proper grounding one may be left feeling slightly disoriented or "flighty".
7. "Open" the Circle
a. Release the quarters
Thank the directions and the elements for lending you their energies for your ritual and give them leave to depart if they wish.
8. Simple Feast
Traditionally this consisted of "cakes and ale". Milk and cookies will do just fine! The purpose of having something to eat after a ritual is it helps to ground you, and return you to a physical state of consciousness.
Your assignment this month is to perform a full moon ritual using these steps and the full moon ritual outlined in my online Book of Shadows.
After you have performed your ritual journal your experience in your book of shadows.
