Solo Ritual to the Goddess of Fire


Prepare an altar in fiery colors, with sparkling objects to catch the candlelight. In the center, place three candles, orange, red and gold. As you praise each of these Goddesses in turn, light her candle, and sit silently, receiving Her messages and blessings.

Blessed be the Goddess of Creativity
Brigid, Bright One
Goddess of the forge.
Teach me to bear the fires of transformation,
The furnace that tempers my blade,
and makes me strong.
Be with me as I blaze my trail.
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Brigid, Goddess of Fire.

Blessed be the Goddess of Transformation,
Persephone, Courageous One,
the molten Kore of the Earth.
Teach me to enter the underworld
without fear, and to emerge
without regret.
Light my path with your torches.
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Persephone, Goddess of Fire.

Blessed be the Goddess of Faith
Hestia, Constant One,
Goddess of hearth and temple.
Teach me the lessons of commitment
and contentment,
service and celebration.
Warm me within and without.
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Hestia, Goddess of Fire.
