Toward Ecosophy

Hello John, I have read a number of comments concerning the Elemental Cross and the Sphere of Protection rituals. So here I go with my two cents worth. Cent number one. After faithfully performing both everyday for four months now, I have found that having the verbal portion of the ritual memorized so that I don't even have to think about it as I say it, allows me to focus much more on the symbolic aspect the of ritual. Actually it is almost as if someone else is reciting the verbal part, which makes the symbolic portion much more vivid and meaningful. Cent number two. I find that the ritual itself is, certainly on some days, rather routine and even mundane, but often the rest of my day seems to be spent in a heightened state of awareness. I do the ritual in the morning and I find this to be the real benefit as apposed to some whiz bang moment during the ritual itself.
Thanks for you time.
