How To Conduct a Toteg Tribe Style Circle

This is the Toteg Tribe basic bare bones ritual pattern which should be used for any of our circles. It can be used both for a person working solo, and for a communal rite.  

This may be done outdoors or indoors.  There is no need for a fancy altar of any kind, though you may want a place to set a candle and incense burner if you use them.  

Remember whenever you use set words don't just recite them, but reflect deeply on their meaning.  It's best if you visualize or otherwise imagine what you are saying as happening.

If you are solo face the direction the sun is in if it's daytime, or the moon is in if it's night time and hold your arms out in front of you, palms down about level with your hips.  If you are in a group, stand in a circle facing inwards and hold your hands and arms the same way.  

Recite the PURIFICATION aloud:

May the fires of the sun purify us,
The waters of the earth cleanse us,
The winds of the heavens freshen us,
And may the rich earth feed and strengthen us.
Being cleansed and nourished may we realize our connection with all of nature,
So that with our spirits awakened we may live in harmony with all of creation.

Now turn your palms upwards if you are solo, or join hands if you are in a group, and recite the INVOCATION aloud:

Mother Earth, Father Sky, come into us now,
that we may realize our unity with you,
Knowing that as we are your children
Your spirit resides in us all.
May we realize our divine nature,
And witnessing your connection in all things,
Share all with you, as you share all with us.

Now if you have an altar set up the leader should light a candle on it then light some incense, spray some cologne, or pour some fruit juice into a bowl (or any combination) and recite the OFFERING prayer.

Mother Earth and Father Sky,
You from whom all things come and to whom all things return,
We thank you for your many blessings.
Receive now this token of the blessings you have given us,
Returned with our gratitude and love.

If there are others in the circle, each one then goes to the altar one at a time and makes the same offering.

People may now sit down, and take part in this time when any teaching is given by the leader, special prayers made, magic performed, or quiet meditation or discussion done.

When this is completed, everyone stand in a circle again and hold hands, or if alone stand and hold your hands out like you did in the INVOCATION and close with a prayer such as the DAILY PRAYER.

All wise, gracious Mother of Us All,
All powerful lord, Our Father,
Supernal Parents,
Sustain us, your children, this day.
Give us the wisdom to see your path,
And the strength to prevail in the darkest hour.
We thank you for the joys we have
And for the chances you have give us to prove ourselves
In adversity as well as in happiness.
May we thrive.
