Blood and fire ritual

Blood and fire ritual

The elemental beings are divided into four Elements - Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. We know the earth beings like elves, gnomes, and Menehune. www.pantheon.org {the mythology of the Menehune is as old as the beginnings of Polynesian history. Some say that the great god Maui himself was one of the tiny creatures.
    When the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii, they found dams, fish-ponds, and even Heiaus (temples), all presumably built by the Menehune who were already there, living in caves.
    The creatures are said to be about two feet high, although some have been seen as small as six inches, capable of fitting in the palm of someone's hand. They are always naked, but the long straight hair that falls to their knees keeps them warm and discreet. Apparently, no two of them are the same, and they can be so moody as to be malicious and dangerous one day, and simply harmless the next. But they are always tricky, and therefore should be avoided, unless a special favor is absolutely needed of them.
    In the old times, some Hawaiians married Menehune girls, who were said to be quite fair, but needed to be shown how to make a fire and eat cooked food, because their own diet consisted only of starchy raw vegetables. The services of Menehune expert builders and craftsmen can be requested. This is especially so if you can trace your family tree back to one of them.

    They then act like benevolent godparents. Many a major project, such as the preparation of a wedding feast, has been completed in a single night by the super-strong little gods, while all humans slept.
    Menehune are afraid of owls. On the island of Kauai, the Menehune sometimes sneak in among the people there and pull too many tricks. That is when the owl god of Paupueo (owl hill) summons all the owls of Kauai to chase the Menehune back into the forest.
    The little ones are fond of dancing and singing, and of sports, such as shooting arrows. Sometimes they use magic arrows, to pierce the heart of angry persons, and make them feel love instead. They also truly enjoy diving off cliffs into the surf. If you hear splashes in the night at Kaanapali, it is possibly a Menehune diving off Black Rock! But you would have to move impossibly quick to ever see one.}

 The beings of air are known as fairies and sylphs. Those of water are called undines or mermaids. And the least known, the beings of fire, are known as salamanders (not related to the lizard, which is also called a salamander).

You can befriend these beings even if you cannot see them, and then they will be over-joyed to co-create with you, and even play with you, as is so magnificently exampled in Findhorn and Perelandra.
      Sometimes it is difficult to understand the power of one person living in a world of billions of others. Here's a little exercise to help.

     Take a moment to think about the breadth and depth of the environmental disasters we face today. Think about the air pollution and the health effects we experience when we breathe that air. Think about the serious water issues we face: pollution, scarcity, the looming wars over water.
    Think about the deteriorating soil quality, the dying oceans, the endangered wildlife, the increasing occurrences of wildfires that each year are more severe than the last. And think about the critical issue of global warming and its ramifications for everyone and everything around the world.
    Now think about this: Every one of these problems has been created by us humans over a relatively short period of time. By "us" I don't mean large groups or global populations acting in concert. This disaster has been created by individuals acting independently. By "us" I am referring to you, me, our spouses, each of our children, our grandfathers, our grandmothers, our cousins...
     Our current crisis was created by each of us acting independently and establishing a personal and professional lifestyle that was environmentally deaf, dumb, and blind. This is
Findhorn and Perelandra.
     If you want to get more in touch with the fairies in your backyard or area, take flower essences on a daily basis. This puts their frequencies into your energy system, so that by having the same frequencies in common, it becomes much easier to sense them, see them, and communicate with them. -Findhorn and Perelandra.

the purpose of dressing a candle is to establish a psychic link between the candle and you. By physically touching the candle during the dressing procedure, you are charging it with your own vibrations while concentrating the desire of your magical act into the wax.

To draw something toward you, (igniting the candle wick) rub the candle in a downward motion from the top to the middle. Then rub from the bottom up to the middle as well. * To repel something, reverse by rubbing from the middle to the ends.

STEP 3: Speak your will
“I cleanse and consecrate this candle in the name of the God and Goddess.
  May it ignite"

State your purpose for this candle ritual.
By preparing and then repeating an affirmation.
When inscribing a candle, use the same directional procedure as you would when dressing the candle.
    To bring things toward you, write from the top to the middle, then from the bottom to the middle. If you are repelling something, reverse the procedure.

When you have completed your ritual, allow the candle to completely burn away. You do not need to stay with the candle after the ritual, but make sure that is safe and that red-hot wax will not cause damage or fire. As previously mentioned, never be tempted to re-use a candle. It should only ever be used in that ritual and then allowed to burn away or be disposed of afterward.
