Basic Centering Ritual
This exercise takes you to the Tree of Tradition. Here all wisdom and knowledge is stored. It stands at the centre of the Otherworld. Do the exercise before you attempt any others or when you need to be refreshed and centred.
Visualise a dolmen arch: two upright stones over which another stone has been laid. The opening is covered by a door curtain of curious weave. See the sign which is woven on its centre and pass beyond into the Otherworld. The great Tree is before you, mighty and enduring as the ages. You may see it as any long-living tree known to you but don’t be surprised to see upon its branches blossom, fruit or nuts simultaneously, for it belongs to all ages and times, all conditions and seasons.
Go now and lean with your back to it, or sit at its base and feel the power coursing through the tree. Power is drawn out of the ground and circulated to the branches. Whoever sits under the tree receives and shares this circulation of power and cleansing energy.
Feel your whole body as part of this network of life, tradition and energy. When you walk away through the dolmen arch, be aware of refreshment in every part of your body.
