1) Clean the area, thoroughly, in which you're going to be working in, while doing this, imagine yourself cleansing the space of ALL negativity and releasing the past.

2) Make physical changes that will help make your environment a sacred space. Put on some soft and relaxing music, light a candle, or burn some incense.

3) You'll need these materials- 1. Anything you would put on a ritual altar. 2. Images of birth (eggs or the color red). 3. A symbol or photo to represent yourself. 4. Something to represent your OLD life. 5. Something to represent your NEW life. 6. Something to eat and drink (wine and cakes are traditional, but you can improvise). 7. Scented oil. 8. A bowl of saltwater.

4) Now that you've gotten everything you need, it's time to really begin. It's traditional to go skyclad, you should appear to the gods as you were created.

5) Relax, ground, and center, let go of yourself for a few minutes.

6) When you feel ready, call upon the elements, in whichever way you know, feel is best, or feel is right, take as much time as you need.

7) Now call on the God and Goddess, it's pretty much the same as calling on the elements, except slightly different.

8) Kneel facing your altar. State your intention, either aloud or silently. You might want to meditate on this beforehand, or write it down on what you might want to say. Speak from your heart.

9) Open yourself up to the loving energies of the God and Goddess and allow yourself to experience whatever response they might give, you may sense them speaking to you; you may see a vision, or you may just feel the emotion wash over you.

10) When it's over, or you feel it's time, stand up.

11) Now take the saltwater on your altar, meditate for a moment on it's significance. Sprinkle yourself with the saltwater, taste it on your tongue. You're dying and now you're brand new. You're purified. 12) Now take the oil from the altar. Annoit yourself in whichever way you feel is appropriate.

13) Face the East, don't invoke, you've done that already. You're presenting yourself as a newly initiated Witch.

14) Present yourself to fire, water, and earth. Imagine yourself joining with them. Say a greeting to each direction. Proclaim yourself as a Witch.

15) Now do a blessing of the cakes and ale, or whatever you have. Think about what has just happened, how you feel, about the Mystery, and meditate.

16) after you're finished sit in whatever position you feel comfortable or centered. Then meditate on the symbols of your old life, and your new life. When you're done, thank the God and Goddess, dismiss the elements, and close the circle.
