Prepare your ritual space as you see fit. Darken the room. Light a match.
From dust I come. Light the first candle.
To dust I will return. Light the second candle.
From the ash, I am made anew. Light the last candle.
Pause after each candle and consider the implications of your words deeply.
From life to death to rebirth, from summer to winter to spring, from day to night to morning. Help me accept the dark and prepare for the return of light.
Allow the flames to burn through the night if you can do so safely, or preform the ritual backwards, snuffing out the candles instead of lighting.
