Weaving A Web Of Well-Being: Rite Report
A ritual to support myself & my community in wellness and well-being
November 24, 2024 in Philly, PA
Recently, several of my loved ones have encountered situations where they could use a general boost of healing and well-being. Outside of business/career/money matters, the other sector where I have thrived is with well-being & well-doing work from a holistic health standpoint, so I decided to do this community rite to not only support me in obtaining tools of health and wellness for myself (specifically: purchasing a elliptical so I can continue on with my long-term health recovery), but also support the community and my loved ones.
And, thanks to someone using my recently-released (more on this formally soon) Rite of the Wealth Mycelium, along with signing up for this rite, I was able to do just that — it came in time for the rite on November 24th, and was blessed alongside :)
This rite will featured petitions and offerings to Apollo (Olympian of the sun, light, truth, poetry, and prophecy), his son Asclepius (Greek deital of medicine and surgery), Aesclepius' wife Epione (soothing of pain & nurturance), and his granddaughters, Hygieia (health, cleanliness, and sanitation), Panacea (universal remedy), Iaso (recovery from illness), and Akeso (the healing process itself), and Aegle (thriving).
In my personal, idiosyncratic tradition, I approach deities as accumulations of wisdom and physical power who are able to offer their Divine inspiration to our Ancestors, ourselves, and other beings when they are treated respectfully, as any other teacher or guide should be treated. I will call upon the beneficial, well, and elevated Ancestors of all named petitioners (you may submit a petition on behalf of someone else), and ask that each spirit grant your/their guiding spirits & Ancestors the wisdom and insight they need to ensure each person experiences relief and nurturance for their holistic well-being.
There really isn’t much to report at this point — the candle is still burning along quite nicely, and I added a cap of wax to the physical home the Wealth Mycelium lives in that I feed regularly to introduce these qualities to that work. I fully intend on using my elliptical as a permanent home for my Jupiter pentacle from the lovely Alison Chicosky of Practical Occult, whose work I also cannot recommend highly enough.
