That is the entirety of what I recommend in a very bare bones practice. One can scale it back to where (as I’ve mentioned previously) it is all conducted within the imagination, where even the space has been created you wish to work in. Or you can expand the scope of course. If there is interest I will cover imaginal creation of tools and space in a future posting. May the Ancestors and powers you work with… be with you!

Whether in healing or transforming, inspiring or creating, we focus so much on stories like the Hero’s Journey, on battling our pain, on efforting our way into being. What would it be like to soften? To make the space in which virtue may happen- a space we might call Grace*?

The recommendations for what I’ve suggested here as practices are not to make those interested follow a strict set of rules (though they can if they choose to) but to give them a starting point to inspire them to move forward from this practice into their own way of doing things. No, it doesn’t have to be ‘Hebridean’ as I’ve termed this example or Norse/Germanic or any flavor of Celtic. What matters is your practice speaks to you; that your Ancestors and the other spiritual powers work with you in a harmonious fashion What is important, regardless your practice is that you be sincere in your actions, have integrity, be patient, and do your best to be consistent with all of them. The Ancestors are watching after all… make them proud!
