At this time, those overseeing the new beginnings altar should take over and say:
New beginnings are needed to make necessary changes in our lives.
Take time now to come forward to this altar
and gaze upon the symbols of new beginnings.
Meditate briefly on what new beginnings you need in your life.
The overseers should continue inviting people to come forward to the altar and
ask questions such as “What new beginnings do you have planned?” and “What
changes do you want to make in your life?” After everyone has had a chance to
come forward to the altar, it should be closed down by saying: These changes
brought forward in the minds of our people today
are needed and wanted to restore full balance to our lives.
We ask for strength and guidance as we travel the road
laid out before us.
Changes are not always easy, but can lead to bigger
and better circumstances, so we will work hard to make these changes a part
of our everyday lives to ensure balance is achieved and remains a constant in
our lives The ritual leader should again take control and say:
New beginnings may be difficult,
but we have the strength to see it through.
The strength from the old year continues on,
and enters into the new year.
While our path may not always be clear,
and at times our my future may seem cloudy, we will continue down the road we
know we are supposed to follow.
We will work hard to obtain and accomplish our goals and always continue to
set our sights higher and higher, never backing down or giving up.
The springtime is the time to plant the seeds,
and these seeds we plant within ourselves.
The springtime is the time for hope.
It is the time for desire.
It is the time for new ideas and inspiration.
