Morning Libations

The First liquids of the day are offered to the dead.

Before refreshing yourself, fill a cup with coffee, water, or some other liquid and stand over and open piece of ground.

Holding the cup with both hands, inscribe a crossroads in the air in front of you. Pass the liquid through the center of the crossroads with a slight throwing motion. Allow the cup to leave the grasp of your hand for a split second as it passes through the crossroads say "to all who have come before"

"to all those who are named ( here repeat the names of those dead you wish to remember.) pour out a bit of the liquid.

"to those whose names have been forgotten, lost in the seas of time." pour out a bit of the liquid.

"to all those whose bones lie within and upon this land" pour out a bit of liquid.

Raise the cup up with both hands. "to you from the living"

Take the first drink of the day.
