Yule Ritual Calling Quarters in Cyber Space - A CrossRoads Ritual How do you call directions in cyber space when the directions don't really exist? Facing each direction while connected to your computer can be a bit cumbersome. Conducting rituals in this relatively new medium may call for some redefining of ritual principals. For starters, do we really need to call the terraspace directions like East, South, West, and North when they don't really exist in cyber space? Why not simply call the elements related with those directions - Air, Fire, Water, Earth - or if these do not exist in your cyber realm why not dreams beginning, dreams in process, dreams in completion and dreams in reflection? If you think about it for a bit you'll find that in a cyber reality anything is possible. This does not mean that one cannot call the earth bound directions of East, South, West, and North... your cyber reality may have an earth from time to time. We are simply saying that if it feels uncomfortable or odd, then don't. For in cyberspace the mind is not bound by the confines of gravity. The possibilities are endless - in fact, why not adapt the call to fit the CyberRitual concept or theme? Here is an idea of what we mean. Generally one or more of us will put the ritual together, then the ritual is enacted in a chat room or e-mailed to be enacted at the participant's leisure. A Yule Tide CyberRitual It is the season of eternal night, of winter, of reflective thoughts, it is the dream time where dreams fulfilled during the year shimmer - in the stars. Where those of the future are birthed on slender filaments of light as the mother bears forth the father. It is the season of endings and beginnings ...

Blessed Be. Lady of the moon and all its aspects, the season is yours... we celebrate your fullness and the birth of your sun .... Come join us now. Blessed Be. ::::We are between the worlds :::: The night has deepened, the darkness complete The worlds have slowed Thoughts have turned inward. It is a time of reflection; It is a time of projection. Learning from the past, Dreaming for the future. As darkness gives birth to the light, Let us take what we have learned And birth anew. Let us sing, dance and give thanks -- for love for laughter for tears Let us go hand in hand into the future. Let us spin and weave as one. Blessed Be. [each participant would now make affirmations if they wish] As we spin and weave and chant and sing power born of dreams Past Present Future builds. Spirals - a multi faceted spiral of light and color fills the night Growing changing evolving reaching out into life itself. A child -- born of dreams -- our dreams --a child that shall develop and grow throughout the year. SO MOTE IT BE!
