Temple Blessing Ritual: part 2

This is the ritual:

/adjust

Welcome to Free-Spirit Temple. This is Sacred space and open to every race, species, code, creed and faction. Please take any pvp's or dual at least 300m away if you really feel the need to have one.

As this is the new crescenting of the moon, it is an ideal time to start new things, embark on new projects or paths, forge new friendships. It is also a time to bless the new things in our lives.

This temple is a work in progress, but today I make it public to all. I may only be in training to be a priestess, but I will do my best to serve you and this temple. I was originally going to bless the temple privately, but then thought how wonderful it would to share this moment with all the people who have helped make it happen.... and to welcome the new faces in the crowd.

:looks about the room at each person and smiles

I know some were not able to come. may the Force be with them on their journeys and missions to see them home safe once more.

Does anyone have any questions before we begin?

I will ask that everyone to sit or meditate comfortably. There will be a time were each of you will be asked to do something in this blessing ritual. Maxell will make sure you are all temporarily added to the admin list so that you can fully participate.

:smiles and nods to Maxell

:closes her eyes and takes a few breaths, on her third breath, the whole temple takes on a hushed and sacred feeling... balanced and calm.

BY EARTH are we all nourished, sheltered and suported. From it we have come. To it shall our bodies return. EARTH. May its essence fill this temple and lend us all the ability to stand our ground and walk our path.

/raise

/pointright

BY AIR do we breathe the breath of life, learn and remember the lessons life lays before us with its ever swirling movements. AIR. May its essence fill this temple and lend us all the sharpness of mind, wisdom of thought, and the focus and will to move forward.

/raise

/pointright

BY FIRE do we feel the passions stir within us: inspiration, creativity, destruction, courage, hate and love. FIRE. May its essence fill this temple and lend us the courage and conviction to do what we must.

/raise

/pointright

BY WATER are we cleanses and refreshed, are our emotions churned and our curiosity picqued. Without it we would surely perish. WATER. May its essence fill this temple to wash away the stresses in your lives and reguvenate us, help our emotions, our minds, our souls be ready to tackle the path ahead of us.

/raise



:walks a circle about the ritual room and those who are FS will feel a surge in the Force as it is summoned to fill the very wall with both protection and sacredness

SPIRITS, GODS, ANCESTORS... FACETS OF THE FORCE... YOU CONNECT ALL THING IN SPACE AND PLANETSIDE... YOU BIND US ALL TOGETHER...

AS ABOVE

/POINTUP

SO BELOW

/POINTDOWN

/whisper Let them know that this space is dedicated in service to them and to all creatures. May they bless this space and all who enter it.

SO MOTE IT BE!

/raise

/smile

Now. There are candles in the ritual pack on the piller. Please take one and light it. Give your own blessing to the temple. And then find some place in this temple to place your candle and whisper your own prayers, blessings, and wishes.

When you are done, return here.

/smile

I would like to thank everyone for coming out to this. My blessing of the temple. If you haven't yet seen. There are two meditation rooms upstairs along with a fabulous view from the roof... if you don't mind being rained on now and again.

/grin

On this floor is an office where I or other members of this temple can meet and discuss events and activities or operate other business activities.

There is this ritual space too. and a large research and crafting room for all to use with HQ crafting stations.

There is a small alcove with a life day orb for those who wish to sit and remember loved ones who have already crossed over.

Downstais are the living quarters of some of the temple members and a shrine to the last living priestess, Fyrshka, who passed from this plane of existance and joined the Force early September.

Feel free to roam about and explore. If there are entertainers among us... please be welcome to show off your skills.

Blessings to all!
