Yarrow Coven was the sponser of a Yahoo Groups listserve called the "Cauldron of Yarrow". The listserve served as a place for fellowship among Pagans who are friends and family of Yarrow Coven. The list started out with only a few folks discussing various topics and has swelled to 150+ members. As we continued to grow and learn from one another, we started to have online open full moon rituals for our members.

So how do we perform an ONLINE ritual? It is actually very simple. Imagine writing a book in third person. We begin with a setting for the ritual. Then we decide who will be Priestess, Priest, who will call quarters and so on. We each individually write our own parts and then the night of the ritual, we post them to the list all in order. We then open it up for petitions or prayers from all of the members to take part. After a certain amount of time, we then close the circle. The entire ritual is generally written in a very descriptive manner so that we each feel as if we are standing in cirlce with one another at that very moment.

Although it may sound impersonal, our rituals are actually very beautiful and have wonderful results for many of us participating. They offer a form of community and fellowship for those folks who may not be able to make it to the St. Louis or local Open Full Moons or who are otherwise solitary and do not work within a group. And even more valuable to some, is the opportunity to actually DO something rather than read about it. Writing a quarter call or a small part in an online ritual offers everyone an opportunity to take part without the fear that some feel in front of others. If anything, it offers a start or a beginning......

We hope that you enjoy these rituals as we have written them from our hearts. They are free for your use as you please, however, please do not post these on other websites or handouts or otherwise reproduce/distribute  unless otherwise given permission by the coven.  Thank you.
