WORKING WITH SULIS

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 / The Sonoran Witch / Leave a comment

I have been working with Sulis Minerva for quite some time now and it has had
its ups and downs. She is not an easy Goddess to get close to and we don’t have
much historical documentation in how ancient people worked with her so I have
had to work hard to develop my own methods. When I first decided I wanted to
have a formalized ritual format I found the task very daunting. I had never
created any such thing, but luckily for me, my experience in my Tradition gave
me a framework to use.

The format listed below is simply a frame and only address’ how to begin and how
to end, but the middle is up to the practitioner and is referred to as the
“Meat”. This is the place where you can perform your meditation, take a ritual
bath, create your spells, etc. Over time, I will share some of the magic I have
performed in these rituals, hopefully to inspire your own working’s with Her!!

SIMPLE RITE TO SULIS

August 31, 2016 / The Sonoran Witch / Leave a comment

I have found that while I am drawn to the elaborate rituals found in books, in
real life practice I get much better results and fulfillment if I Keep It
Simple.

In the shower last night, I felt an urge to invoke Sulis and ask for her
blessings. I took my Sacred Vessel from the Sulis altar in the shower and if
filled it with water from the shower. I held it above my head and began to
recite my prayer to her.
Sulis, I seek your blessings! Grant me the ability to use your attributes as
tools for growth.
I poured the water over my head and refilled the vessel.

Through the Deep Earthly Fire that warms Your Waters, bless me with the steady
burn of creative passion.
I poured the water over my head and refilled the vessel.

Through the attributes of Your ever reliable Spring, bless me with the ability
to access Your seemingly endless supply of energy.
I poured the water over my head and refilled the vessel.

Through Your ability to heal and cures, bless me with the power to bring about
Transformation and Change in my life and those I love through magical workings.
I poured the water over my head and refilled the vessel.

Through the Healing attributes of Your Waters, bless me with the ability and
desire to nourish myself with whole foods, good water and plenty of exercise.
I poured the water over my head and refilled the vessel.

I honor you! So Mote It Be!
I poured the water over my head, refilled the vessel and set it on her altar
while I finished my shower.

I don’t know where this idea came from, but in the moment it felt right and I
honored it. I often get caught up in the idea that I never have enough time.
That to be a proper practitioner I need to lay out my salt circle, call all my
Ancestors and guides and go through all of the beautiful steps of my Traditions
ritual format. However, that is just not true. Each action, no matter how small
to honor our Ancestors, Gods and Guides COUNT. And they add up. And they matter.
And I promise you, they are noticed.


OFFERINGS

June 16, 2016June 17, 2016 / The Sonoran Witch / 1 Comment

As part of my personal practice, I am a devotee to the Goddess Sulis Minerva.
When I began working with her and asking for her help, one of the first things I
asked her was what did she want in return. I believe in a fair exchange of
energy and if a spirit is going to assist me with my needs and my work, then I
want to make sure they get something out of it. To keep the balance so to speak.
At first she was pretty silent about what she wanted, but after a few months she
finally had something she wanted from me. During a meditation she told me she
wanted me to rebuild her following. It was a powerful and daunting moment for
me!!! However over the last year, I have been working on the preliminary steps.
My first focus has been developing a ritual method by which to work with her. It
is definitely still in its infant stages….not enough to share really, though one
portion of the method has finally made itself known which I am going to share
today.

Offerings to Sulis Minerva

I have been making various offerings to Sulis for quite a while now, but none of
them seemed to be something that really moved her. I discovered that she prefers
Hot chocolate over whiskey and enjoys sharing a cup of tea occasionally, but
those are for special occasions, not necessarily daily offerings, so I kept
searching. My answer began to unfold slowly in February of 2016 and it started
with a change in offering dishes. For the longest time, I have been using a
sunflower candy dish for offerings. It brought in elements of the Sun and Fire
and was pretty so I used it. Then I came across this dish and I felt that
familiar inner sense of excitement and knowing….I found something that FIT.

It is a beautiful chalice shape and a lovely green that reminds me of the waters
in the Great Bath at Aquae Sulis in Bath, UK. I happily placed in on my altar.
From there I continued to try different offerings to her; candies, fruits, nuts,
parts of my own meals, but none of these really stuck out as the “right” thing.
However that all changed last week. During the waning part of my womanly moon
cycle, the Awen flows through me quickly and deeply. In a moment of extreme
clarity I thought to myself, “Why don’t you fill the dish with water and give
her offerings of coins and gems, just as the ancient followers of hers did?” and
once again I was overcome with that warm silky Sense of Knowing.

I had found an appropriate daily offering to her! Why I had not thought of this
before, I will never know. It was right in front of me the whole time……a
detailed historical account of the offerings made to her throughout centuries.
 I have been observing this devotion now for almost a week and each time I do
it, the feeling of confirmation settles deeper and deeper into my bones. There
are still parts of the process to be uncovered such as what am I am going to do
with this money. I know that I will not keep it for myself, but I trust as I
keep moving through this process, Sulis will let me know what she wants as She
always does!!
