Basic Ritual Template || The Triune Path

Ritual casting is personal and practice-specific, but there are basic formats which many pagan rituals take. Specifically with opening a circle or ritual space, there are steps which most will take.

This template covers these possibilities in a basic script which can be adapted and altered as the individual practitioner chooses, and works for both group and solo rituals (just change out the pronouns and such).

No actions are described, to allow for freedom of individual expression -- this is merely a basic script as a jumping-off point for any looking to include the Path format in their ritual practices.

We gather today / I stand today in reverence and peace, and call upon the universal powers to guide and protect us / me.

≻─────────────────── ⋆✩⋆ ──────────────────≺

The Corners

We call to the Eastern Wind to greet us with its breath, which carries all the gentle gifts of spring. Hail and welcome.

We call to the Southern Fire to protect us with its warmth and all the power of summer. Hail and welcome.

We call to the Western Waters to gift us with its patience and all the bountiful blessings of autumn. Hail and welcome.

We call to the Northern Earth to gift us with its patience and blanket us in the resiliant darkness of the winter. Hail and welcome.

≻─────────────────── ⋆✩⋆ ──────────────────≺

We call the corners of the vessel we reside upon, but also to the threefold Gods residing over us.

The Archetypes

We welcome the Sky and Stars, the mother who provides us with fierce love and careful warmth. Grant us Your wisdom and share in our Love. Hail and welcome.

We welcome the Sea, the father of secrets who keeps all knowledge. Grant us Your patience and share in our discoveries. Hail and welcome.

We welcome the Middle-Air, the space between mystery and mastery who guides us to divinity. Grant us Your balance and share in our philosophy. Hail and welcome.

Finally, we welcome the Self. We who carry each corner of Earth to anchor us here, and a spirit to tie us to the divide. We grant each other our minds and share in our spirit. Hail and welcome.

[SOLO ALTERNATIVE]

Finally, I welcome the Self. I carry each corner of Earth to anchor me here, and a spirit to tie me to the divine. I know my own mind and trust in my spirit. Hail and welcome.

≻─────────────────── ⋆✩⋆ ──────────────────≺

Closing the Ritual

To the Sky who guards our bodies, we thank you. Hail and farewell.

To the Sea who guards our minds, we thank you. Hail and farewell.

To the Middle-Air who guards our souls, we thank you. Hail and farewell.

To all else under our command: the Self and the corners of our current home of Earth. we thank you. Hail and farewell.

We close this circle in love and gratitude as above, so below, and in all life in-between.

okay. listen. if you ever find yourself falling into a new ideological circle, pay attention. if you notice that you’re among people who define themselves as part of an “in-group” with a pre-prepared human “enemy” to constantly rail against—if everyone fantasizes about the mental state of these loathsome monsters, if they participate in witch hunts or (perhaps worse) poke bears and court harassment on purpose to comfort each other over—get the fuck out. you haven’t been enlightened to some grand conspiracy, there are no evil “enemies” or “degenerates” trying to rip apart the fabric of society, and you do not have the moral duty to “enlighten” anyone to whatever you think the “truth” is. it’s neither safe nor normal to spend hours of your day fighting with strangers on the internet

a lot of people wear this shit like a badge of honor, but it’s also not normal to hide your “in-group” status as a form of martyrdom, relishing when the “enemy” slips up around you. it’s comforting in the moment, but in the long run, you’re alienating yourself from the world outside of your bubble. the more you alienate yourself, the more vulnerable and lonely you become, and the harder it is to reject the comfort of belonging to the “in-group”

i’m writing this from the perspective of someone who grew up in a cesspool of awful, cult-like rural churches—which is its own situation—but i see similar shit happening in online communities all the time, both within and 800 miles outside of my own ideological principles. yes, every toxicass radfem i block seems to be trapped in a version of this vicious cycle, but i also see it happening in random queer circles and niche fandom communities. no one is immune, not even me. i’ve watched people fall into this shit and never make it out. be careful

#some ideologies come pre-baked with this nonsense #because they naturally revolve around an in-group and an out-group #but i swear to god people will start acting like this over fucking #anime shipping wars #which probably seems harmless to most people #but those communities skew very young #and i have no doubt that it can be psychologically damaging #no matter how inconsequential it seems to my jaded 26 year old brain #me when i make a post

Building a Rapport || The Triune Path

Before one initiates into the Triune Path as a commitment it is reccommended you first introduce yourself to the Archetypes and become accustomed to Their energies. This will give you an opportunity to know the Archetypes and the Ways on a more intimate level before choosing to commit to Them.

These instructions, of course, are merely a guide and can be adjusted as per your ability.

The Process

Turn first to the Stars.

On a still night, preferrably a clear night where the stars are visible but don't fret if that isn't possible, stand under the darkened sky and look up. Outside is best, but at a window is fine too.

Count the stars, if you can see them, or simply bask in the cloak of darkness above you. As you count or bask, imagine the power held in each visible or invisible star beaming down upon you. Whether you have chosen a God or not, imagine what a God of the Sky might look like. Imagine Them taking form in the stars; looking down at you with Love. Imagine the sterngth of Their power as They protect the world from harm. Name Them aloud if you wish, and let Their power flow through you.

Repeat as often as needed to become familiar with Them.

When you know the Stars as a child knows Their guardian's embrace, turn to the Sea.

If you live near a natural body of water or can easily reach one, be it sea, lake, river or otherwise, travel there. If not, run a bath or stand under the shower, or in the rain.

Whatever you choose, close your eyes and listen. Hear the rush and drip of the moving water and imagine each as a breath from the lungs of the Sea God. Imagine the secrets in every inch of water; the memory of every century that water has existed and travelled. Visualise what the God of the Sea might look like. Allow the water to run over your hand and feel Them holding yours. Feel Their gently seeking eyes on your body and allow Them to see through and into you. Allow Them to know you.

Repeat as often as needed to become familiar with Them.

When you know the Sea as deeply as They know you, turn to the Middle-Air.

The Middle-Air is the Space Between the Stars and Sea. To familiarise yourself with the Space Between, we must turn inward. Sit in a quiet place, within nature if you can, and close your eyes.

Take a moment to breathe deeply and focus on each inhale. Feel the power enter your lungs; hear the Middle-Air's gentle sighs as They breathe with you through your mouth and nose. Imagine what this God might look like and feel Their love filling your blood; running through your veins. Know that this Divinity is as much a part of you as They, and imagine each exhale as a return of that Love and Power to Them: a give and take. A Balance.

Remind yourself that in this balance, the God of Middle-Air connects the Sky and Sea with you, the Self. Recognise that in this moment you all breathe together, connected eternally through invisible thread. Remain there, within your Divinity and Theirs, connected to the Divine in this tiny piece of Apotheisis.

When you are ready, thank the Gods for Their time and open your eyes. You may find Their power remains with you for a time. Allow it to pass through you, and move on.

Repeat as often as you need, until the connection becomes as comfortable and instinctive as breathing.

When you know your power and that of the Gods combined, you are ready to enter the Path proper.

Remember that this familiarisation can be performed at any stage of your journey through the Pagan arts, and is an excellent way to remind yourself of Their love if you fall distant or needed to break from Them for a time.

The Gods are always waiting to welcome you.

One of the recurring philosophical questions is:

"Does a falling tree in the forest make a sound when there is no one to hear?"

Which says something about the nature of philosophers, because there is always someone in a forest. It may only be a badger, wondering what that cracking noise was, or a squirrel a bit puzzled by all the scenery going upwards, but someone. At the very least, if it was deep enough in the forest, millions of small gods would have heard it.

Things just happen, one after another. They don't care who knows. But history...ah, history is different. History has to be observed. Otherwise it's not history. It's just...well, things happening one after another.

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
