The Pagan Ritual: Preparations for the Ritual Area

pagan ritualThis article explains how to prepare the ritual area and what you can do to prepare yourself before this pagan ritual or any other pagan ritual you do. Feel free to change anything you don’t like because this is just how I personally do things.

The Pagan Ritual

When doing any type of pagan ritual first you should shut all the blinds, curtains and windows. This will help to get your ritual area ready by creating privacy. Close lock all doors and if you have a do not disturb sign make sure you place it on your door. Most people do ritual work at night in order to nor be bothered or distracted. You need to be able to focus and most people need complete privacy in order to obtain this. In you are interrupted while your ritual you might be shocked into sending your ritual energy to anywhere under the stars. You should never be distracted during a ritual.

Move any furniture, or electronics that might be in your way. Remove anything that doesn’t belong in the area which you have decided is your ritual area. Remove anything stink or foul smelling from the room (especially ashtrays!). Bad smells can break your concentration and state of mind! Try a ritual bath if find its you that’s stinky. Don’t watch clocks because its disrespectful to the spirits. Cover all clocks and time face plates with black tape of black cloth.

Make sure the floors or the ritual area is clean. Vacuum and if you don’t have carpet then sweeping and mopping will do just fine. Why? First for safety reasons, and secondly to show honor and respect to the magick involved with the pagan ritual. When doing nay sort of pagan ritual it is important to show respect to all elements involved, how can you show honor and respect in a dirty little area? If you are doing an important or a very ceremonial pagan ritual then you may want to wash your floors twice. Once just to get the the grime and dirt off the floor and the second time you may want to include a tea made with herbs appropriate to your ritual. Test the tea on a small area on your floor a week before your ritual. You don’t want to harm your floors!

Now that everything is out the way and cleaned, get your ritual gear out! You can robe or disrobe and start your ritual. Some people do their ritual baths before doing their rituals and some include it in their ritual practice. Most of the smaller details are just a matter of personal opinion. You can wear what you want but I would suggest wearing something that you only wear during ritual time like this ritual robe.
