                        Cerridwen’s Cauldron – A Ritual for Success
                                                         ~ Igraine from 2008 Witches Spell-A-Day Alamanac

     These are the early days of the Witches New Year celebrated at Samhain.
     If you missed an opportunity to consider what your plans and resolutions
     are for this coming year you still have time. Let this be a moon of claiming
     three goals that you want to achieve before years end.
    
      Invocation
   
  “In the cauldron of Cerridwen, I will work in preparation and manifestation
     toward the successful outcome of my present aspirations.
     Tonight I ask the goddess Cerridwen to bless this rite and join me in reflection.

    Old one, Sage Crone, Keeper of the cauldron
     I ask to stir your magic brew tonight for inspiration!
    The lessons I have learned through the shift of time and space
    Change the shape of things to come with each turning of the season.
    The wisdom of the universe can be mine for the claiming.
     I need only mix the magic for the potion to find sight.
    Three drops of grace shall pass my lips.
    Require me to name them.
    Enlightened by this moonlit night and your dark prophecy.”
    
    Sit in silence and meditate briefly.
    What are the three most important tasks that you need to accomplish
    successfully this year?
    When you have the answers state them clearly aloud and then
    write them down in your journal or book of shadows. Then say:

“Cerridwen, in the naming of these three aspirations at this full moon in Taurus,
I pledge a year and a day to keep my focus alive in order that I may achieve my goals.”

    My affirmation will be “Success comes easily to me.”

This full moon in the Celtic lunar tree calendar is the Elder   
Moon. It is the last full moon of the Celtic year, and the 13th.  
Although the new year commences at Samhain,
the lunar calendar begins with the full moon closest to Yule
with the Birch Moon. This  will be next month's full moon
on the 12th of December. The Elder Moon is a time of
"life in death and death in life". It is time to banish the  
old and even the shameful and renew creativity.
The Elder Ogham is one of "the redness of shame."
It is linked with magical powers and the ability to transform  
the legacy of past actions that we regret. Retribution.

                      Elder Moon

 Down Night's path lit by yonder moon
 treading on berries that redden my feet,
 I wander in the silver light.
Touching rough barked trees where the owls cry
 And my woeful heart beats tears
 a burden of years I wish to let go.

 A dark wind blows tinged with a bite..
 cold harbinger of healing white
 snow, pure promise is born in its light!
Touching rough barked trees where the owls fly
 off into the night as I now hear a sweet whisper
 Born of yonder moon.

 A crystal flurry so distinct in this wood
 as I stoop to gather the berries at my feet
 to smear my face, O red of shame!
 now to follow the owls' soft winged flight
 through the snowy hollow and through the night
 finding dawn's whisper in the growing light.

 Elder Moon, 'tis your call I hear!
 how magically you shine on my blood red tears
 Banishing my rueful dream
 and stirring my seared heart to rise
 Resurrected in your pure gleam
 O Elder Moon, I am clean!
