The Power of Ritual and Sacred Ceremony
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Intention is Spirit’s way of Movement. The Reason we move sets the Tone and Frequency of Vibration. Spirit draws an Expression of Spirit into the world of physicality where it becomes a tangible experience we Remember.
As we are casting out the residual energies of an old state of mind, we can carry out a blessing for Home, through which we can establish a Higher Order for the Sanctuary within. The way isn’t as important as the Intention of Spirit.
Lemon essential oil can be diluted and applied topically to your skin, as well as diffused into the air and inhaled. Some people swear by lemon essential oil as an ingredient that fights exhaustion, helps with depression, clears your skin, kills harmful viruses and bacteria, and reduces inflammation.

Lemon can be used as a Spiritual Tool to clear away negative energy in Spirit the same as it clears away harmful sickness and dis-ease in the realm of physicality. Lemon sliced and covered with salt can be placed in living spaces to draw impurities from the air.
I found a recipe today for DIY cleaning spray made with lemon that can be used on most any surface. Applying an Intention of Spirit the practice becomes a ritual and ceremony carried out by Spirit.
Reed/BEN is Time to take Dominion over the Sacred Spaces of Home and Sanctuary. We can clear away the darkness that has crossed the Threshold of our Boundaries of Love, Life, and Happiness, and claim a place where Only the Light of the Creator’s Love can enter in.
Call to your Highest Power of Love and Light for a way that will be meaningful to you. (The video that inspired me.) We can carry out a blessing beyond the door by walking the land that surrounds home and decree it as a space governed under the Highest Authority.
A Divine Creator wants to be the Center of your Life, Light, and Happiness. When our thoughts are centered on the Light of the Highest One, our prayers will hold the Sound of a Divine Cause our Faith can grow from an Experience we will remember.
A simple solution: Water, grated lemon peel, juice of the lemon, a few drops of mild dish soap.
Grate the lemon peel into the water and heat to boiling to draw out the lemon oil. Add the rest of the lemon juice and strain into a spray bottle with a few drops of the liquid soap. The solution can be used to clean a variety of surfaces. As well as cleaning around the doors and windows, it can be used as a mist to clean the air.
The power of Spirit is greater than forces of physicality. Ritual and sacred ceremonies are Acts of Faith when they are carried out for the Highest Purpose. Rituals are an integral part of every tradition of Faith as an Intention to See, Hear, and Acknowledge a Power Greater than our Self, and to create a Sacred Space for the Intention of a Divine Communion.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

We can also clear our space, heart, and mind with the Vibration of the Highest One.

4 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee, Owl/ U’GUKU’) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons. A good day to sit on a rock.
A GOOD DAY TO: Sit on a Rock

The Thinker at the Gates of Hell, Sculpture by Auguste Rodin
Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’ O’JJ: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
