Kitten naming ritual

Circle met at Khrystyl's house wednesday, March 17, 2010    We performed the kitten naming ritual. Here it is.

Welcome all to the kitten naming and blessing celebration!
We then opened by calling quarters.
Michael, Archangel of the East and Air,
With New Moon and NIght so fair
We humbly ask for your presence
During our celebration, So Mote it Be

Raphael, Archangel of the South and Fire
Burn away negativity so we may rise higher
We humbly ask for your presence
To bless and participate with us, So Mote it Be

Gabriel, Archangel of the West and Water
Wash your blessings over us all
And your presence here
For more strength to see us through, So Mote it Be

Uriel, Archangel of the North and Earth
With new names give these kittens rebirth
With the Powers that be and all that is
Bless this with your powers, So Mote it Be

In the center of the Circle, I lit a brand new red candle anointed with oil that represents the cats astrological sign. In this case, I used clove oil. The red candle represented the fire associated with the Sagittarius sign.
Take the kittens lovingly in your arms, all gently stroke the animals' fur and visualize the cat being surrounded by a protective aura of white light. Recite 9 times the following pagan prayer, once for each of it's 9 lives.
Moonbeam is the name I give to thee.
Moonbeam is the one who ye shall be.
And may the sound of thy new name
Magick and power ninefold claim.
May ye live free and blessed be
By Goddess Bastet. So Mote it Be!

After the prayer has been recited, take a wand (I used my selenite wand), and trace the sacred symbol of the pentacle in the air over the cat. Give the cat a kiss.
We then repeated this with Shadow.
We then closed the Circle.
Uriel, Archangel of the North and Earth
With these new names gave these kittens rebirth
With the powers that be and all that is
Thank you for blessing us with your powers, So Mote it Be

Gabriel, Archangel of the West and Water
Who washed your blessings over us all
We thank you for your presence here
For the strength to see us through, So Mote it Be

Raphael, Archangel of the South and Fire
You took away negativity and we rose higher
We humbly thank you for your presence
To bless and participate with us, So Mote it Be.

Michael, Archangel of the East and Air
With New Moon and night so fair
We humbly thank you for your presence
During our celebration, So Mote it Be.
Extinguish the candle, the cat naming and blessing ritual is now complete.
