Ritual is a time for you to focus your thoughts and energy for a specific purpose.
Ritual can be complicated or simple depending on the goal.
In the simplest of forms it helps the individual to focus and connect to the enery of the world around us.
In more complicated forms we are honoring the Gods by giving our love, blessings and thanks in ceremony.
We must remember we are sharing our love of them, their love of us, and then sharing that love with others in such rituals.
In time you will develope
your own Rituals and build your own Temple,
as your understanding of the Goddess and Gods grow.
