Leo Full moon Ritual - Sekhmet Protection magic (Feb'26) -Central London

A Call to Magic for Global Safety

Come join me in a special ritual, when the moon is still waxing in the sign of Leo, to make a sacred circle and call upon one of the fiercest goddesses in myth and legends. Sekhmet the Lion-headed warrior Goddess.
Normally in our Sekhmet rituals at Leo new moons, we invoke and calm her rage and thirst with beer and wine.
This time, however, on a waxing leo full moon, we shall invoke her and petition her to vanquish warmongering tyrants. The how and where and when - we leave to the wisdom of the warrior Goddess!

Wars are nothing new - sadly!
But now, a dark force is rising fast in the western world - and some tyrrants have managed to unravel centuries of peace, and driven by whims and egos, they theaten to instigate a new wars!
Many people would think this will pass. Others will say its all Fated. More will say there are lessons to be learnt and we must not interfere!
Evil wins and when good people do nothing. And while politicians are paralysed and very measured in their reactions, can we Witches and magicians really afford to sit and wait?
Come stand in a ritual Circle - and Call this warrior Goddess Goddess to stop these Tyrannt.!

RITUAL what to expect ----

• We start with a brief pathworking - a guided visualisation for stillness and energy opening. This is followed by consecration where each person is blessed with consecrated water & incense. Then a magic circle is cast with a wand, and visualisation of a protective bubble / sphere around us. Elements Air, fire, water, earth are called in east, south, west, north. We raise group energy with easy chants while circling around or infront of the altar.
• Then call on ** Goddess ** energies. Sometimes a titual team member (or a selected attendee) plays the role of the Moon Goddess. 4-5 ladies may be asked to take on Goddess-support roles, circling the Goddess and using Goddess related chants to raise energy.
• We then have a moment for some magic/ spell working. This varies each time. Feasting & social: We finish the ceremony with communal blessing of all the food & drinks people brought, share some thoughts/ feed-back, then close circle and feast.
