Healing Power of Prayer
It can seem a little strange to approach the subject of prayer in an earth based religion. From those who leave from the Abrahamic religions, the act of praying can seem an unhappy reminder of our past. Yet the power found within the act of praying is still there for us. Whomever you choose to worship is there for you.

Jaguar Medicine
Sky Cradle is a tradition dedicated to healing. In this way we will be spreading awareness of the many different ways healing manifests. Some of the most ferocious powers can help to cultivate the greatest power of healing within us. Jaguar is a strong totem for this.
Jaguar medicine is one of integrity and confronting fear. It shows to us our inner fears, doubts, and helping them to surface. In order to rebuild you must first destroy. Jaguar rips apart old wounds to air them out and clear them away. The old predator forces us to confront fears and rise above them. But also to be true to ourselves and walk with integrity. This is Jaguar's medicine to us.

Healing Circle - Ritual
performed once a month. Usually scheduled, but when it is done is not as important as doing it.
Healing Circle
Purpose:
To send healing energy
and thoughts into the Universe to those in need.
Supplies:
5 candles
plate with food offering
empty bowl
small cup of water
Pictures or statues of
healing angels, totems, or gods
Preparations:
Set your five candles in
a circle on your altar. Leave room for your plate and bowl. Set your cup of
water to the side. Keep your lighter nearby. Decorate the altar with healing
stones, totems, pictures, or other healing object. When you are ready to begin,
take a moment to relax and be still. After your reflection light your candles.
Set your food offering on your plate and set it on the altar. Relax and focus
on your altar. Visualize the circle of candles linking together in a circle of
white light on your altar. Remember all of the healing spirits that move in our
Universe to those who are in need of healing. When you want to continue, hold
your visualization and say,
"Spirits new and
spirits bright,
Spirits full of wisdom old,
Teach to me the healing light,
Let me draw it in untold.
From this circle do heal thy wound,
That earthly matters have undone,
No ill-will may you bring,
Into this place of healing."
Place your hands over
your heart and close your eyes. Visualize your heart center shedding light into
your circle. The circle fills with light and pulses with your heartbeat. It is
filled with your wish for balance and health, for the health of others and the
positive thoughts that fill your heart. When you have held the visualization
and it is firmly in your mind, release it. Open your eyes and continue.
Hold the cup of water in
your hands. take a deep breath. Say,
"To good spirits and
honored healers,
I give the cool waters of the earth."
Pour a bit of water into
the empty bowl. Place the cup to the side. Take the plate of food offering in
both hands. Hold it in front of you.
"To good spirits and
honored healers,
I give the sustenance of the earth."
Place the plate back on
your altar. Take a deep breath and release it slowly.
"In peace and trust,
Attend this light,
Healing be given to those in need,
In many hearts let health shine bright.
so mote it be."
Keep the candles lit with
offerings on the altar for a few hours. This is a good time for meditation,
reflection, or personal projects. Stay with your altar, attend to the candles
should they go out, and work on something . When you are ready to close the
circle, blow out the candles.
"With starry light,
Circle closes this night.
With peace and love,
Merry met and merrily depart."
Dispose of the offerings
and put away your supplies for future circles.
