Hey guys! how about we start an outdoor ritual experience thread, drop a comment with any experiences, ideas or suggestions!
Heres one of mine!
I was in spain one year on holidays, and the hotel I was staying in was beside a beach! I got up at 6am just as the sun was rising and went down to the seafront! the waves were lightly lapping the coast and as the sun rose, the water turned a metallic blue colour! Beautiful! I meditated for about 30 minutes and just took in the natural energies! Then I got in for a quick swim and returned to my room!
your turn! go!!
This is brilliant!! I've always wanted to do a ritual outdoors, but there weather hasn't been on my side. :-) And also, I've got really nosey neighbors...
The original followers of Wicca (re. Gardner,Sanders) would always try to have the rituals and ceremonies in the open air; and skyclad.
But, of course, not in bad weather here in England. Then they would go indoors.
Open air was always preferred to being in a building.
I love doing my workings outside. One of my favorites is to do a bonfire celebration for the Sabbats. Usually I will do some scrying with the flames. Meditation is wonderful outdoors too, if you live in a quiet area.
Me and my coven work outside and inside for rituals we travel to a wood. It is pretty sucluded there so we have never been disturbed :)
Try to find a place that no one seems to go or cannot see you, i think youl find it much better not being watched.
yeah i find privacy to be one the main factors in delaying my rituals, its no that i dont want people to know what im doing its just it makes you feel uncomfortable you know?
i'd love to have a bonfire ritual it would be so intense!
and skyclad!! well, i dunno the park authorithy's might have somethin to say about that hahah!!
Close to the city where I live, Leeds, there is a stone circle where the Pagan community gathers every Sabbat. There is always a ritual, food, and quite a few drops of beer!
There is always a few curious on-lookers, but they don't bother us. A few will even ask questions.
We are all clothed, of course, as many parents bring their children.
Heh, yea, I'm not a fan of skyclad. It's much easier just to wear loose or comfortable clothing altogether and skip the awkwardness. But then again I'm not Wiccan, so it's not my place to judge.
I love outdoor ritual. I have a grove that I've made in the woods behind myself, with a stone circle, and a deep hole at the center for burning objects as well as as mall fire pit. This is all secret mind you, my family has yet to find it, and I believe it is that which makes it special. Outdoors is a must for me. Often I feel I'm my most powerful when it is either raining/storming, or when my bare feet can touch the earth.
