(1) Calling the Dryads (Ball 54)
YOU WILL NEED
- Birthday cake
candles of different colors
- Ice cream sticks or nutshells such as walnuts
- Water in a natural pool, pond or bowl
METHOD
Use different color candles to attract different 'families' of Dryad. Fix the candles into
the half shells or onto the slivers of wood with hot wax. (This can be very fiddly, but be patient. Use half candles as this
is easier.)
Light each candle with a blessing and float your
boats on the surface of the water. Send loving thoughts to the Nature spirits and ask them to join you. You might use an invocation
such as:
Awake you spirits of the forest green
Join me now
Let yourselves be seen
Now sit quietly and just listen. Shortly you will sense the presence of the Dryads, often as there
are strange rustlings in the trees of vegetation. You may feel them as they brush past you or play around you. Initially you
will probably not be able to differentiate between them, but as time goes on you will sense subtle differences.
Half close your eyes and see if you can see them. Again don't be too disappointed
if nothing happens immediately, just accept that you will be aware of them eventually. Now, invite them to play with you.
Come, Dryads all, come join with me
Explore Earth, Sky, Sand and Sea
Show me, guide me, take my hands
Together thus, we see new lands
New vistas, new horizons
and knowledge of old
Come together, in power enfold
When they are comfortable with you, and you with them, thank them for coming and leave the area
tidy.
You can leave the candles to burn out if it is safe to
do so.
