The time of year takes us inward and we use the objects and words of ritual to enliven the cosmic dance.

Agni comes to us passionate and awake, seeking change and creating clean spaces for transformations to happen.

Vayu breathes and the world opens.

Apas connects seemingly disparate substances and surfaces tremendous beauty.

Awaiting awakening, She glistens. The air vibrates as we sense the moment of Her apparition; we still our minds and open our hearts.

From initial blessing to final sacrifice, we are ready.

We remove inimical energies that our rites may be unencumbered. English and Sanskrit verses fill the space and our awareness attunes to the subtle realm.

Powers of the circle and our intentions bind us, creating a crucible for the work and celebration.

Removing curses from Devi, the feminine, and all women.

Initiates enliven and welcome Maa Kali.
