Altar Blessing
Upon these items I ask for
The blessings of Earth
That they be stable
The blessings of Air
That they be strong
The blessings of Fire
That they be powerful
The blessings of Water
That they be clean
The blessings of Spirit
That they be pure
The blessings of Lady and Lord
That they be lasting
May what I do be in perfect love (light red candle)
Perfect trust (light pink candle)
And purity of purpose (light white candle)
With harm to none
In honor of the moon
In her phase (light moon phase candle)

Ritual
(carve the word Justice in white candle, anoint with Cedarwood oil and High John the Conqueror root shavings, moving from tip to bottom)

Gossip spoken of me
Assumptions made of me
Lies written of me
Rights denied me
At X

I invoke Justice
And leave X to It

(hand over white candle)
May this circle within a circle be not open yet unbroken
Til flame and candle be gone

Perfect trust (snuff pink candle)
And perfect love (snuff red candle)
