Daily Devotional
for solitary ritual by Grae Wolffe

Requirements:

Three candles (two small tea lights and one votive or larger)
optional: 	offeratory plate and/or chalice
		offerings of earth, water, and air
			pinch of dirt or natural spices (sage, thyme, rosemary)
			water, wine or mead
			incense, essential oil, potpouri

If the larger candle is scented, it can be used in place of the incense/etc

Preparation: 

The standard offerings should be prepped in small containers (resealable bottles or jars). If there are any special requests to be included (petition for a friend or loved one, or honoring a spirit that has "crossed over") an additional symbol for each should be included with the offering preparations for that day.

The candles, plate and chalice should be kept on the devotional altar; the altar should remain cleared of clutter. Offerings should be kept aside or in a nearby drawer. The votive/pillar candle can be scented for the season, or a plain color candle can be used (either white or varied for the season).

Ritual:

Earth, Sea, and Sky
Infinite, Essential, Eternal
Life, Love, and Lore
Joyful, hopeful, insightful

light the candle on the right

I invite you, Cerridwen, 
Great Mother of Nature
Source of inspiration and knowledge

light the candle on the left

I invite you, Llyr
Lord of the Seas
Source of power and strength

light the center votive

Blessed Bran, I call to you
Great Father and Lord of the heavens
Source of Truth and wisdom Take a pinch of the earth offering and place it in the chalice, or fold your hands at waist height
Spirits of Nature, faerie and friend
I offer this gift as I call for your aid

Pour a little water into the chalice, or fold your hands near  your heart

Across the waters, to the Isles of Wonder
I offer this gift for the Ancestors' aid

Light the incense; if using a stick incense, light it from the votive. Or "cup" the air above the votive towards you three times, with the third time holding your hands at eye level.

Shining spirits, children of light
I ask for inspiration and sight

Pause for reflective meditation and centering; stay attuned to the power surrounding. Either close your eyes, or stare at the flame of the main (votive) candle.

I ask for guidance, strength and wisdom
as I face the challenges ahead today
Surround, protect, and lead my way

Any other offerings or requests should be made now - add offerings to the chalice, or use the main candle to burn them

in closing:

I honor the spirits who shine around me
Thank you for your inspiration

I honor those who have come before
Thank you for your wisdom

I honor the nobles of hearth and stone
Thank you for your strength

Wisdom revealed, Bran blesses me
Strength renewed, Llyr refreshes me
Spirit refreshed, Cerridwen annoints me

Guide my soul, set it free
Fill me with your mystery

Life, Love, and Lore
Joyful, hopeful, insightful
Earth, Sea, and Sky
Infinite, Essential, Eternal

So let it be
Gadeal hi bod

Once completed, if offerings were made, they can be left on the altar until later in the day, or they can be taken out and scattered into nature at the base of a tree or into your garden.
