Merry Meet!
We are a Coven in Simi Valley, Ca. Mystical Changes is a safe place to explore the old ways. We are welcoming new people to celebrate the Sabbats and Esbat rituals. Possible Coven membership. We do ask that you join the Simi Valley Pagan site first. It gives us a chance to get to know each other better. You can join this group by going to the contact page on this site.
Blessed be!

How We Started
We all started out the same. Looking for something more. We believe that the Pagan life finds you, you don't find it. We know when we first set out individually on this wonderful path, we felt very alone. We networked and talked to a few people on the Internet, who tried to give advice. However, we still felt alone in the path we had chosen to follow. We knew that we needed to be around others who shared the same beliefs as us. We have met some great people since we began this magickal journey togetherand in 2003 a Coven was formed. We are learning, experiencing, and growing together, while following the Pagan path. We each bring to the group our individual strengths and talent to share with all. We have a lot of fun. We are a family!
*One candle at each compass point
*Athame
Cast the circle
Invocation of the God and Goddess
Statement of intent
On this night, I invoke the powers of fire to protect me from all that would harm me, whether physically, mentally,emotionally or spiritually.
Start at the south. Light the candle, shouting:
"Nothing from the South can harm me!"
Imagine the flame creating a wall of protection on that side of you.
Move West, light the candle and shout:
"Nothing from the West can harm me!"
Again, with each candle you light, imagine the wall around you growing in power and intensity North, light the candle and shout:
"Nothing from the North can harm me!"
East, light the candle, shouting:
"Nothing from the East can harm me!"
Hold up the Southern candle to the sky, shouting:
"Nothing from above can harm me!"
Place it back on the earth, shouting:
"Nothing from below can harm me!"
Sit in the center of the circle, watching the candles burn. Know that the fires are burning away all evil and harm that comes your way.
Meditate on the flames and feel their power forming a shield around you - a shield you can erect anytime you feel threatened.
Cakes and ale (eating bread and drinking wine or juice to restore energies spent during ritual)
Release circle
Thank the Goddess and God for their protection and presence in your circle
Go to each of the four directions in turn, saying:
"Guardians of the East (South, West, North),
Powers of Air (Fire, Water, Earth),
I thank you for joining in my circle
And I ask for your blessing As you depart
May there be peace between us Now and forever.
Blessed be."
Raise your athame to the sky and touch it to the earth, then open your arms and say
"The circle is open, but unbroken,
May the peace of the Lord and Lady Go in my heart
So Mote it Be!"
