what a gorgeous altar! you really seem to have your practice figured out. you have such an air of confidence and strength about you! something that has obviously come from years of practice and experiance. you've earned yourself a sub =) much love and respect anni. BB!
Very wonderful video~ i normally did not do much in the morning but now i feel like i can do something, quietly without waking up anyone, and then leaving my house for school very calm and balanced~
Your dogs are adorable :D
the other day i went outside barefoot and i was beyond happy because i could walk around outside barefoot again~
it was a wonderful video. for some reason i was moved, very moved. not sure why i feel this way. i felt silly about that. but thank you for sharing your sacred moments with us.
I agree we perform rituals everyday and probably don't even know it, I love your kitchen!, it's so cute and homely. And again Give Me George!. lol. Fab altar. Aww@little Ernie. And yay for coffee it's a must!. lol. Haha :@yoghurt ritual, my cat's love yoghurt.
I really enjoyed this video! I've never heard of the silent calls to the elements before, but I think now I am going to start using them, as well as the offerings each morning. Those are really good little rituals to bring awareness of things that are bigger than you and eternal. I'd like to incorporate more daily rituals in my life, especially lately since things are chaotic! By the way, your dogs are adorable ^.^
I really enjoyed this video. These morning and evening ritual ideas are great for someone like me who has a super busy life, they're simple yet meaningful. Thanks for posting.
Great video as always and I love your kitchen! It is true most people are creatures of ritual (habit). A long time friend of mine who is hearing impaired does something very similar with hand gestures of course they are actual ASL and its her way each morning and night. I too use a few gestures of my own and do some things the same way each day.
What a wonderful and inspiring video. I have been looking for a morning ritual of some sort and I think your video has given me a stepping stone to create one of my own. Thnak you and Goddess Bless
@bythefyre Oh, my! That sent me off to my day smiling. I'm going to have an attitude now, chanting to myself .... "I am the female Wiccan Alex!!!!" Alex, if you're out there ... I can't think of a higher compliment :) Thank you, Robert. ~Anni~
Thank you! I really enjoyed this video. Your dogs are so cute! Poor Ernie can't get his flat nose in the yogurt container, but manages well! My Boston Terrier has the same problem! ~BB~
@cutewitch772 I have back-up stones ::hehehe:: I keep a bowl on the altar with one each of the stones I work with (although in this video several are missing because of some other work I have going on). So if I want to do a working or do divination with my stones, I have replacement stones to add to my bowl. The ones I make offering of in the morning never leave where they are placed until evening.
i have to say... you teleporting into your ritual was kinda cool. your elemental mudra, are those gestures courtesy of your trad background, or inspired from other sources? and is ernie part hoover? glad you're now a pagan perspective regular (though i hope mo's doing spiffy too).
@forkfullofpie I totally stole teleporting from DR!! Did you hear all the Ernie-snorts in the background? At one point he was eating the rice ash out of my incense bowl. I need to send him to remedial Familiar training. Or away to a camp for errant animal partners. Yes, I was taught these by my first teacher. Mo is doing really good! It's all happy news, but life is taking her elsewhere for a while. ~Anni~
As soon as you said "do we keep them clean and organized" I had to get up with my laptop and go do dishes. :P thanks for getting me motivated.
I really enjoyed getting a look at this, and since there are now two videos that I can respond to by showing my morning devotions, I should probably get that done this week
Anni, you have the most beautiful kitchen! That is like my dream kitchen. It's so homely and tidy! And I love that you presented the kitchen as like the heart of the home because I really feel that way too! Your daily elemental rites were inspiring! I could tell this was a topic you thoroughly enjoyed. And your little crystal excersise! that was so unique! You have given me a lot to think about!

What if you were to use your stones during the day? Would you exclude those you had offered in the morning, or use them anyway and then replace them?
