3rd Step Devotional Wiccan Yogi Style

My spirituality has evolved, and now I work with both Irish & Hindu goddesses, whom I collectively call Goddess or Devi. Specificially, I worship Brigid & Durga. They are extremely powerful goddesses, and I am humbled by their presence in my life.

On Monday, I will be dedicating myself to Goddess, and I have written my ritual / yoga practice which I share below.

**Consecrate self & circle then call the corners*

Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East, [guardian spirits of Air], I do summon, stir and call you up, to witness these rites and guard this circle, and I bid you Hail and Welcome.

Guardians of the Watchtowers of the South, [guardian spirits of Fire], I do summon, stir and call you up, to witness these rites and guard this circle, and I bid you Hail and Welcome.

Guardians of the Watchtowers of the West, [guardian spirits of Water], I do summon, stir and call you up, to witness these rites and guard this circle, and I bid you Hail and Welcome.

Guardians of the Watchtowers of the North, [guardian spirits of Earth], I do summon, stir and call you up, to witness these rites and guard this circle, and I bid you Hail and Welcome.

*stand in front of altar*

Sisters of fire, sun and moon
Join my circle!
I bow to you, Mama Brigid.
Om Dom Durgayei Namaha.

Hear me, dear Goddess, dear Devi.
Hear me, Mama Brigid, Ma Durga.
I invoke you, dear Goddess, dear Devi.
I invoke you, Mama Brigid, Ma Durga.

Celtic Mama & Hindu Ma, please 
Join my circle and guide me.

*practice yoga in front of altar inside circle*
*mountain, forward fold, downward dog, table, cat, cow, staff, seated forward fold, savasana*
*meditate*

I offer myself to thee to build with me and to do with me as thy will. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of thy power, thy love and thy way of life. May I do your will always, O, Goddess, O, Devi!

**Meditatively eat the red foods & milk, leaving some for Goddess & Devi**

*Speak to Brigid & Durga*
*Write or create art if so inspired*

Thank you, Mama Brigid, Ma Durga!
Thank you, O’ Goddess, O’Devi!
