Last night I did the dedicant's oath. First I scrubbed off all the day's dirt with natural soap made with essential oils, rubbed myself with rose oil, braided my hair and dressed in natural fibers. Not sure what was going on with the neo-hippy theme but I rolled with it.


Recipe:
3 sticks of incense
candle
wine
oath, hand written on recycled paper
new moon
sunset
hawthorn tree
one dedicant

Oath read:
I declare myself to be a pagan,
A seeker of the old ways,
A worshiper of the Elder Gods.
With this holy oath I begin the sacred journey, a druid's path.
I vow to seek virtue in my life.
I vow to keep the rites and words that call to me.
I vow to study the truth of the Elder Paths.
These things I swear to the Gods.

I rewrote it to have two sets of three. It just rolled of the tongue better for me.

It went well. I cooked up a nice meal afterwards, drank a few more glasses of wine and felt driven to start a compost bucket under the sink.
