Festival of Isis This ritual celebrates Isis in all her forms, and is a formal Ritual, which consists of all members giving an offering to the Great Goddess and asking for a gift in return. Cast Sacred Space in your usual manner but substitute another Goddess in place of Isis if she is a Cardinal Point Goddess. Once Sacred Space has been cast, and you are protected, start the music of Isis. (chant of Isis, from band Incubus and Succubus ). Once members become familiar with the chant, they should join it. If you have a Priestess of Isis to receive the offerings, then she should do so. She would stand next to the balefire and accept the offerings of each person, draw an ankh of Holy oil on the forehead of the member and place their offering within the balefire. If you do not have a Priestess of Isis, then the High Priestess or Priestess should perform this duty. As this is going on, each Temple member holds the hand of the person next to them and forms a circle around the balefire. All members begin to move in a clockwise direction in a dance. It is a simple dance involving small steps, and is a good way to focus energies upon the work at hand. Everyone’s right foot and leg crosses their left foot and leg, to the front. Then everyone steps with their left foot out to the left, then step with the right foot behind the left foot, and then steps with the left foot to the left. Repeat till HP speaks. Great Goddess of the words of power Join us now in strength by the hour Everyone stops moving, raises their hands to the skies, and continues to chant, but does so quietly, so that the sounds is a background whisper. The Priestess of Isis says: Thank you great Goddess for joining us here. We honor your name with these offerings which we have placed within this fire. All members stop chanting and say: We honor you We honor you We honor you All members move to benches or chairs within the sacred space, and the Priestess of Isis moves to the work table. She stands behind the table and says: As each is willing to give, so to should they be able to receive. This is as it was promised since the dawn of time. Please come forward and speak of your desire I shall help you bring your offerings and request To the Great Goddess Isis. Each member steps up to the work table and writes their desire on a piece of paper. They then wrap the paper around their gift and toss it into the balefire, then resume their place within the circle. When all spells have been done, some type of group activity should be done. Such projects as making a coven oil, incense, etc and best. It should be something which can be made by the donations of all people. Silver candles can be inscribed with symbols and lit from the balefire by each member so they will have a consecrated Isis candle for their own altars. Once all work has been accomplished, close your circle or begin your feast. Have the food set up buffet style and allow everyone to fill their plates and sit casually around the balefire. When the meal is finished and you have not as yet closed your circle, do so now and ground all energies.
