Gather a group of women together around a large table you can use as the altar. Ask them to bring feast books to share and offerings of fruit, flowers, or vegetables as altar offerings to the Goddess.
Gather together
* 13 candles
* a black bowl filled with water
Timing: January 1.
Place the offerings and the 13 candles on the altar around the bowl filled with water, which is to be used as a scrying mirror (to foretell the future). Light the candles and turn down the lights and say aloud:
Fruit, flower, and Goddess’s herb,
Perform for me enchantment superb.
You give us grain and bread.
Foretell for me the year ahead.
After placing the offerings on the altar, one at a time, each woman should kneel over the mirror and look upon the water. Some people may see images, but oftentimes the information comes as an impression, a thought, or meditative reflection. People should only share their visions if they feel the need to do so.
After each woman has had a turn, everyone should chant and sing together:
Daughters under this sun
Sisters under this moon
Tonight we receive your blessings
Goddess great and good—
We thank you for the year to come.
