Performing your rituals
Rituals help us to harness and direct the power of nature and our own energy. Most rituals are simple and fun to practise, such as setting up your own altar, and many Wiccan rites can be performed in your home or garden without ant special equipment.
Rights of Affirmation
Formalising practices into ritual can help to act as a \”checklist\” making sure that all the necessary steps are followed in the correct order and that nothing is forgotten. It also allows the people involved time to step back and think about what they\’re doing, giving them a chance to change their minds!
Rituals can be an important tool for making formal statements to others that cannot be misunderstood.
Modern-Day Rituals
Rituals that are practised today to affirm or acknowledge something of importance include weddings, which formalise the relationship between a couple, or graduations which mark the passing of exams.
Following the step by step identity or community, rituals can help you to focus your energy and to tune in to people who are following the same path, as well as connecting with those who have gone before you.
