Foreword
W hen people ask me what the purpose of ritual is, I generally reply with the word connection. The idea of connection is readily apparent in the most common types of rituals performed by Witches and Pagans. During the sabbats, we connect with the earth, the turn of the seasons, and the Wheel of the Year. When we practice spellwork, we connect with the magickal current that has been a part of the human experience for tens of thousands of years, even if we arent always consciously aware of it. Some Witches and Pagans connect with higher powers and energies during ritual: ancestors, deities, the Fae, the Watchtowers, and many other entities.
There are also the rituals we do that connect us with community. Sometimes those gestures are small, perhaps sharing food and drink in the ritual context of cakes and ale, while other times they are large, such as an initiation into a tradition or group. Youll find a lot of community rituals in this book, many of them obvious, such as handfastings and blessings for newborn children (often known as Wiccanings). But the magick and wonder of Life Ritualized is that youll find other things to connect to in the course of reading this book that are mostly overlooked, and I know this is true because it happened to me.
When engaging in a ritual for what might feel like a mundane rite of passage, such as getting a drivers license, we are still engaging in connection. If you are a parent, rituals for events like this offer a chance to connect with your now-driving young adult, and for those who have just received their drivers license, they are connecting to what they have accomplished along with the potential and possibilities that come with such an achievement. Those are all important energies and feelings to connect with, and doing so through ritual makes them both more memorable and more powerful.
