Dark Moon Meditation:
By Wolfwings


Breathing exercise:
Holding one nostril shut, breath in and out deeply and slowly 3 times. Then
hold other nostril and repeat.

(Chime bell three times or shake tamborine)

Speaker: (wait a moment until chimes stop) 
You are enshrouded in space and headed towards a pitch black mass.  It is a
black hole, the womb of the dark mother, the mouth of Kali, the roads of
Hecate, and Cerridwen's cauldron of rebirth.  

As you travel towards the center, everything seems to slow down.  Minutes 
become days, days become years until time stops completely.  You are now in the 
vortex of Hecate, swirling in the Cerridwen's cauldron, and you must choose 
your path. 

Look back and remember your path from yesterday and today and the many years of 
your past. Soon you will be consumed by the black mass, the dark mother, Kali.  
You cannot escape, you can only go forth into the unknown.  Recall the bad with 
the good and bring them with you... let your memories be your wisdom and 
preparation for what is to come.  

(wait about 5 minutes in complete and utter silence)

You are now taken into the center, a singular point so massive, its power 
devours everything.  You begin to dissipate, desolating into a renewed form.
As you are consumed, bring with you that which you need, that which you want to 
continue in your life, and allow the rest to be destroyed and renewed into 
insight, strength, and wisdom, or what it is that you need to journey forth.

ALL- Chant (whispered): 	She changes everything she touches,
                                Everything she touches changes.

(repeat until power is raised and dies down, best to play recorded chant)

Without warning you are pulled through and are returned and renewed on the 
other side.  Faced with Hecate, Consumed by Kali, and rebirth by the 
Cerridwen's cauldron.  You are now ready to walk your path with renewed 
insights, strengths, and wisdom.

When you are ready face a star, take a deep breath, let the light reach out and 
encircle you, and return to the circle... 


(Wait until everyone or most open eyes, then chime bell three times)
