Simple Funerary Rite

Artist Jim Warren
Simple Funerary Rite
You will need:
-
a fire safe bowl
-
a half cup of wine
or apple juice
-
a stick of incense
-
a
white candle
-
a photo
of the person, if possible.
If you can, do this ritual outdoors. If not,
inside is fine.
Sit on the
ground/floor. Light the candle and the stick of incense that reminds you of
your friend. (i.e. if he was an outdoorsman, select a woodsy scent like
evergreen or sandalwood; if she was a homebody, use cinnamon, etc.)
If you have a
photo of the deceased, set it in front of you. If not, hold the image of
your friend firmly in your mind.
Take a small fire-safe bowl filled with the wine.
Warm the wine over the candle flame.
Visualizing your friend surrounded by a soft white glow, wish
the friend well on his or her journey and assure your friend that you will see him
or her again in your next
life. Drink the wine and let yourself remember all the wonderful things you
and your friend shared.
