You will need the following items for this spell:
Blessing oil
Altar
Full Moon drawn on an altar cover
Sage
Sweet Grass
Red rose petals
Black rose petals
1 red candle
1 blue candle
1 purple candle
1 black candle
1 white candle
First:Smudge the altar, the candles and yourself with sage. Second: Place the Sage on the altar and let it burn out.
If you have the flats of your altar face the four directions then put the four candles on the altar with the blue in the North, red in the South, black just behind the blue, and white in front of the red. Purple should be placed in the middle.
If you have the corners of the altar facing the four directions the place the blue in the North, black in the East, red in the South, and white in the West. Still, the purple should be placed in the middle.
Light the candles in this order regardless of the arrangement: Black, Blue, Red, White, Purple.
Say the following: " Nyx, great Goddess of the Night, lover of Erebus, mother of Moros, Thanatos, Hypnos, Charon, Nemesis, and the Fates, I ask you to accept my loyalty and my love as your follower and servant. I ask for your protection and guidance, bringer of the night, I ask for your wisdom and blessings."
Re-light the Sage if it burnt out and light up the Sweet Grass. Use the Sweet Grass to smudge the altar, the candles, the rose pedals and yourself. Place the Sweet Grass next to the Sage and let it burn out as you visualize Nyx sending you her protection, wisdom, guidance, and blessing. Once the Sweet Grass and the Sage burn out again let the petals drop from your hands to the gaps between the candles and the herbs as you chant: "I am (your name). I am a Priest/Priestess for my Goddess, you, Nyx, if you will have me. This is my request, and these are my words. May this spell not reverse, my faith never wavers, my love never weakens. Blessings of Nyx, wash over me!"
Honor Nyx with offering and prayer and she will always answer your call.
The act of smudging with sage, specifically white sage, as well as sweet grass are closed to non-Indigenous individuals. Since you are invoking Nyx, a Greek Goddess, I would use herbs associated with her such as lavender or patchouli instead. Roses are not commonly associated with Nyx, and black roses are incredibly rare. I would substitute roses with flowers associated with Nyx. Finally, I worry about the incantation. Calling yourself her servant would imply you are making an oath or contract with her and if this is your introduction to the Goddess, I would hold off on binding yourself to a deity so quickly. The bones of an invocation are here, but the process outlined here is questionable.
Roses are actually associated with her. I’ve worked with her long enough and she appreciates the gesture. But I call myself her servant. That’s only some of the things associated with her. But if someone else finds something that works go for it but this works for me
I've only found one source that lists roses among her offerings [and even that site I question its authenticity] so, if they work for you, that's fine, but I wouldn't consider them a typical offering. But, that's the thing with UPG [unverified personal gnosis] you might find a deity that loves skittles or punk rock and just because it wasn't around thousands of years ago, it doesn't mean the deity doesn't like the offerings. However, UPG is personal, not universal. If 99% of places don't include roses in the list of offerings, it doesn't mean you're wrong to offer them, it simply means roses aren't a traditional option.
