Following discussion of the Omen today, Cedarlight answered the call to action regarding the Oil Spill in the Gulf. You can read current news regarding this catastrophe here:

We organized an emergency ritual plan to help stop the oil leak, minimize the damage and heal the devastating effects of such a catastrophe.
We are inviting those that cannot make it to the rituals to join us in sending energy, simultaneous ritual activity, etc from wherever you are. Invite your Pagan friends and even your non-Pagan pals to help us, either by attending the ritual, sharing in meditation, or adding the prayer to your daily prayers/rituals. Other local Pagan groups and ADF Groves/Protogroves will be notified.
We have prepared a series of prayers (subject to change depending on the current state of the emergency) for three (3) consecutive emergency rituals.
The first prayer is as follows:"Stop the flow of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon well head with minimal repercussions."
The second prayer is as follows: "Stop the spread of the oil slick with minimal repercussions to Earth."
The third prayer is as follows:"Empower the healers in the cleaning of Mother Earth"
The
first emergency ritual will be held this Friday,
May 7th, at CLG. Meet at 7, the ritual will begin AT 7:30.
The Deities to be honored are as follows:
Thor- called upon by Caryn
Jorth- called upon by Will
Baldur- called upon by Jack(?)
The
second emergency ritual will be held next Friday,
May 14th, at CLG. Meet at 7, the ritual will begin at 7:30.
The Deities to be honored are as follows:
Manannan MacLir - called upon by Kelly
Lugh - called upon by Taryn
Brigid - called upon by Caryn
The
third emergency ritual will be held
May 21st, provided the above schedule is consistent with what action is necessary by that point. A pantheon has not yet been officially named. It will be addressed later.
We all agreed that this is not particularly a time for experimentation, and so would be calling upon deities with which we are intimately familiar with to help us produce the best result, (Our patrons, for example) and would be using the ADF ritual format.
This thread is open to discussion regarding offerings and pending thoughts, or any changes that might be made to this schedule. Keep in mind that offerings, as always, must be significant enough to be called a sacrifice. We are asking/pleading a great deal of our Shining Ones, and a gift of this magnitude calls for a gift of similar magnitude.
