A Sea Rite.
Go into your workplace and light a Blue Candle, then burn a suitable incense.
Read this medative working through as many times as is needed until you are familiar with it in its entirety, or have another clan member read it out while you go through the inner journey. You can even pre-record it on to tape then play it while you follow the inner journey to the sea kingdoms.
You stand alone on a deserted beach, the night is calm and silent; a thousand stars shine in the sky, their pin pont lights reflecting and dancing on the darkened sea.
A mist falls and the wind begins to blow against you, you feel its pressure wrapping itself around you in a warm but firm embrace.
Small ripples of sea foam begin to caress your feet, and you become aware of an almost familiar rhythm as the breakers hit the shore.
Know that you are now standing at a place where two Kingdoms meet;
The Kingdom of Land and the Kingdom of Ocean. The Sea Palaces are about to open their gates to you.
The water, deep in strength begins to surround you; you can feel the intensity of its life and all sense of the land begins to fade.
The Mist is becoming denser, it quickly encirles you, whirrling in a vortex of frenzy; as the fog passes over your face you are surprised that its touch is curiosly akin to that of silken threads of woven silk.
A rift opens in the fog and pale silvery moonlight shines down upon you. The lunar beam of light is magnetic in nature and it begins to pull you gently upwards until you are suspended midway between sea and sky.
Suddenly a storm begins to roar, elemental wildness surrounds you, yet you cannot feel its force, for you have been lifted into another dimension.
Moonlight continues coming and going amid the storm blown clouds. Below you, you can see any army of white crested billows, rising and falling in long, singular lines ---- they give the appearance of galloping foam born Valkyries.
You are now aware of a rhythm in the tremendous clashing of the storm, you also hear the cries of carion birds and bells. Faces begin to appear in the waves, as the shadow forms begin to solidify, you realise these are the warror daughters of the Great Sea Goddess herself, their appearance is always a herald of their Queens arrival.
Suddenly you see the Goddess of the Waters moving with an irrisitable momentum. She does not show herself on the sea crests but deep within her own element, for the power of the sea is found in the weight of the waters and not in its foam blown crests.
Her face is serene and calm, she is the ruler of the Great Oceans and the tides of living are hers. It is by her grace that humanity live and thrive on the face of the Land, for if all the seas, oceans and streams began to gather themselves together in wrath, they would cover and submerge the face of the Earth.
Something within you which answers to the sea has now been awakened, you are more accutely attuned to its ebbs and flows, to its rythms...now you will be able to tapp into its elemental powers more easily. You are Sea Born and the Great Goddess of Ocean is your nurturer. You are forvever a priestess of the Sea.
