Nine Basic Components of Ritual

This is the framework I use for formulating all of my rituals:

1. Purification of self
2. Purification of space
3. Creating sacred space
4. Invocation
5. Ritual observance (on sabbats and esbats)
6. Energy raising (during magick)
7. Earthing the power
8. Thanking the Goddess and God
9. Breaking the circle
