Opening the Nemeton
The Druið opens the Nemeton and calls on the Quarters.
The bell is rung 3 times. (This is to let all know a rite is about to take place.)
The Druið circles the outside boundaries of the Nemeton using a cedar bundle as an offering. As the Druið does this, the Druið calls on Rigonemetis to protect the boundaries of the nemeton.
“Rigonemetis, mighty grove king, we ask for your protection and to establish the sacred boundaries of this Nemeton. Where I walk now becomes the sacred boundary under your mighty arm.”
The Druið enters the Nemeton. As the Druið circles, sacred herbs are sprinkled as an offering to Nemetona.
The Druið says, “A great rite is about to take place on this Atenolucrâ. Nemetona, will you grant us entrance under your sacred canopy within your Nemeton?”
(If yes, go on about the rite.
If no, stop.)
Light your sacred fire.
“Aidonâ, may you brighten and provide as you have since the beginning of time.
I take part of your flame and your illumination with me.”
Walk to the Are (East). “May we see your path, the path of Samos.”
Walk to the Dexsiuos (South). “May we see your path, the path between Samos and Giamos.”
Walk to the Eri (West). “May we see your path, the path of Giamos.”
Walk to the Tutos (North). “May we see your path, the path between Giamos and Samos.”
Walk to Medios ( the middle). “May this path always be illuminated, for this is the place all lay.”
The Druið then walks to the South and places an offering. “Through the Order of Aidus and the Chaos of Dubron exist harmony.”
The Druið walks to the North and places an offering. “Through the Chaos of Dubron and the Order of Aidus exist harmony.”
The Druið goes to the altar. “The flames of Aidus lay upon the surface of Dubron. Their union creates the flow of all that is and all that will be.”
“Belinos, watcher of the celestial fire in water, holder of order and chaos, may your eye guide and watch over us. As you are tasked with a great duty, we thank you.”
The Nemeton is now open.
Regentiâ (Anstestors)
O great Deuoi,
Today, we gather here to honor the dead and the great battle that fell upon them on this sacred day.
We light this flame in the West for those that have traveled into the deep blue waters of dumbos.
(Light a candle at the Altar and then place in the West)
Saying
Ancestors, you guide us.
Ancestors, you gave us life.
Ancestors, you grace us with your presence.
Ancestors, The great dead, we will never forget you.
We give these gifts to you.
Thank you.
Let us all take a moment to visualize our gifts being received.
(Give offerings)
Touta (Tribe)
O great Deuoi, we also gather here today for unification so that we can give the greatest gift, and that is of ourselves to each other during good times and bad. May we always remember our virtues and that which connects us.
I will now light a candle in the West for our galatis in the West.
May you be strong and have your health
I will now light a candle in the East for our Galatis in the East.
May you be strong and have your health
I will now light a candle in the North for our Galatis in the North
May you be strong and have your health
I will now light a candle in the South for our Galatis in the South
May you be strong and have your health
(Light each candle one at a time and place it in the correct direction.
After each candle is placed, say)
With these four flames lit,
We become strong,
We become wise,
We become united,
O great Deoui and Ancestors, may you keep us.
These flames are our passion for our illumination of our tribe, and may these flames always stay lit in each of your spirits.
May we help keep each other,
May we help guide each other,
May we help defend each other
May we help Provide for each other.
May we help remember each other.
Let us take a minute to reflect on what it means in silence to be part of the Touta.
Deuoi (Worshiped Beings)
O Deoui gathered here today, we give you the most excellent gift, and that is the gift of our devotion to you. It is in knowing what the Senogalatis faced and the great suffering that befell upon them that we are strong and united. May we remember, and may we not let it happen again. May we keep you and the Senogalatis close to us always.
We Galatis resurface and give that same devotion that the Senogalatis gave to you.
May you help keep us
May you help guide us
May we always remember
Lets take a minute to reflect on all that is happening here and how great the Deoui are.
Closing
The great battle of ALISIÂS is always in our hearts and spirits.
We thank you Deuoi
We thank you, Ancestors
Cheers to you
Many blessings be upon you all.
We go in peace.
Druið will make an offering.
“Aisus, great cultivator of Drus, we thank you for tending to that which is the most sacred and for always keeping and tending to our space which is a representation of Drus and the cosmic principles of all that will be and all that is.”
As you walk in each direction, put out the flames.
Walk to the Are (East). “I see the path, the path of Samos.”
Walk to the Dexsiuos (South). “I see the path, the path between Samos and Giamos.”
Walk to the Eri (West). “I see the path, the path of Giamos.”
Walk to the Tutos (North). “I see the path, the path between Giamos and Samos.”
Walk to Medios ( the middle). “May this path always be illuminated, for this is the place all lay.”
Ring your bell three times.
