Full Moon celebration

Post # 1
In this thread i will say what i did to celebrate the full moon since our lovely priestess requested so.
As many know i am a Hellenic Pagan. this means that my deities are parts of the greek pantheon. One of my patrons is Artemis. Artemis is considered the moon goddess and in many statues or represantations of hers she wears a cresent moon on top of her head. Her bow cause Artemis is an archer is also the sape of a cresent moon.
That is why in every full moon the last 10 years i do a ritual to honor her.
Before the ritual i start with a cleansing bath. Then i apply sandalwood oil on me by forming with the oil a cresent moon on several parts of my body as the forehead and hands and the top of my feet. The type of the oil for me helds no significanse as long as i feel good with it and sandalwood and jasmine are my favourite ones..i put on white clothes as the costume and my talisman that has on it the symbol of the moon and sun together. i light some jasmine insence and made my altar for Artemis that has a statue of hers on it and a marble thing i dont know how it is called in english to put my offerings in..
Then i brought the offerings which contained wine and some flowers on the altar but i had not yet offered them to my goddess just put them close for when i will need them..
then i put music and meditate till i feel myself being washed by the moonlight and feel the connection with my goddess..
At that point i usually start dancing..though cause of an accident i had i can barely stand up. in the next full moon i will be able to dance as normal though.
Then after i stood up (that was dificult) and raised my hands toward the sky as it is costume for the gods and chanted a prayer to the goddess. the prayer was one from the orphic hymns in ancient greek. i do not believe the languge matters just 10 years ago when i started this monthly ritual the book i had bought with the humns in it was in ancient greek and ancient greek happens to be one of the languages i know so that is what i used. After the hymn i added wishes and requests from the goddess that are too personal to write about here.
then i bowed and offered to the goddess wine, flowers and 3 drops of my blood.
This is something i do every full moon and it makes me feel closer to my patron and so much energised.
Thanks for reading this.
