Flowers should be arranged on the altar, placed around the circle, and scattered on the ground. The cauldron can be filled with spring water and flowers, or buds and blossoms as well. A small potted plant should be placed on the altar.

Arrange the altar, light the candles and incense, and cast the Circle.

Recite the Blessing Chant or your own words.
Invoke the Goddess and God in whatever words please you.
Stand before the altar and look at the plant as you say:

O Great Goddess, you have freed yourself from the icy prison of winter.
Now is the greening, when the fragrance of flowers drifts on the breeze.
This is the beginning.
Life renews itself by Your magic, Earth Goddess.
The God stretches and raises eager in His youth, and bursting with the promise of summer.

Touch the plant. Connect with It’s energizes and, through it all, nature. Travel inside its leaves and stems through your visualization. From the center of your consciousness out through your arm and fingers and into the plant itself. Explore its inner nature; sense the amazing processes of life at work within it.

After a time, still touching the plant, say:

I walk the earth in friendship, not in dominance.
Mother Goddess and Father God, instill within me
Through this plant a warmth for all living things.
Teach me to revere the Earth and all its treasures.
May I never forget.

Meditate on the changing of the seasons. Feel the excitement of energies around you in the Earth.

Works of magic, if necessary, may follow.
The circle is released.
