Faerie Rituals
Pay respect to the Goddesses and Gods of these continents before worshiping your own Gods and Goddesses. We are guests here.
The Ritual Circle
Several times a year, the Chicago Faerie Circle performs a Pagan-esque,
Wiccan-esque ritual. In such a circle, a magical circle is drawn to
remove the faeries from the mundane world and to transport them to the
supernatural world. The four quarters of the universe are invoked: air
for breath, fire for emotion, water for cleansing and Earth for
grounding. Then, ancient Goddesses or Gods may be invoked, or just the
Queer God. Magickal work follows: celebration, healing, transformation,
etc., whatever the circle needs and decides to to do. The quarters are
then thanked and dismissed, and the faeries share some food and drink
together.
Heart Circles
Many times a year, faeries gather for a heart circle: a discussion from
the heart. Once everyone is assembled, someone describes the rules of
the heart circle. They are as follows. Only one person can talk at a
time. The person who is talking holds a talisman, which is passed in a
circle. This way everybody gets to talk when it is their turn. People
can talk about anything they want, but nothing that is said may be
repeated elsewhere. This helps people talk honestly. Once the talismen
goes around the circle once without anyone saying anything, the heart
circle ends. Heart circles often resolve many issues.
Phallic acts of worship.
The central private acts of worshiping Shiva are unabridged sex and hermetic
meditation, the two extremes of physical and spiritual experience. The primary
public act of worship is pouring libations of milk, yoghurt, curds, cream, honey
and oil over Shiva's altar-phallus called a Shiva Lingum.
