 Basic Working Spell Outline

 Ritual Preparation
 Choose a time. Decide the intent. Choose an aspect of the Divine, if  you wish. Decide how to raise energy (ie: dance, chanting, drumming,  etc.) Choose how to cast and close the circle.

 Cleanse yourself and your magickal space.
 You can do this with a ritual bath for yourself, or through meditation  to still and focus your mind. You can cleanse your space with your  magickal broom or with incense or burning herbs.

 Cast the Circle

 Invocation of the Divine

 Statement of purpose
 This is simply to tell the Divine why you have called Him/Her to the  circle; what you are trying to accomplish.

 Magickal Working
 Raise energy, through chanting or drumming or however you have  chosen to do so. Direct or channel this energy by using candles,  herbs, stones or whatever other correspondences you found to fit  your specific need. Ground your energy when you have completed  the working.

 Cakes and Wine
 Eat a small piece of bread or cookie and drink a little wine, milk or  juice to help restore your energy.

 Thanking the Divine
