How to Do the Beauty Way Magic Exit Ritual One of the most common forms of the Beauty Way is called the Exit Ritual. You do the Exit Ritual every time you leave an enclosed space, like your car or your house.
Here's how you do the ritual.
1. Put your focus up into the sky and say aloud, "Sky Above" or " Sky Father." (Note: the reason we extend our focus first is that the exit ritual is a form of asking favor from powers and beings, so it is appropriate that we go to them rather than asking them to come to us. In ritual, when we have carefully prepared sacred space, we can then invite them in and then bid them farewell).
2. Keeping the awareness up above, extend your focus into the earth and say aloud, "And Earth Below" or "And Earth Mother." 3. Then, keeping awareness of both above and below, say aloud, "I Greet You."
4. Wait a moment and see what happens. Be alert for acknowledgment or response in one of these three ways: * From within you, such as a realization, a change of attitude or belief, a new awareness. * Changes in your environment, such as a sudden breeze, a change in the color of the sky, a bird or animal suddenly appearing, or a tree or shrub suddenly becoming vividly visible. * A response from Sky and/or Earth: a special message for you, an answer to a question, or guidance and new directions. 5. What happens may happen in just that moment, or it may happen throughout the day. It may change the quality of our day, our awareness ... whatever we notice.
6. You may also want to use hand gestures. Arms raised in a upward facing V for "Sky Father" and arms down in a downward facing V for " Earth Mother."
