The Nightly Cup of Renewal

Join the Coven to keep this in your own Book of Shadows
A short rite for the end of the day: a cup of dark grape juice poured out as a libation, and warm jojoba oil worked into the face, neck and hands as a deliberate act of care. Repeatable nightly, and nothing in it is ever taken into the body.
Level Beginner
Time 10 minutes, after the last meal of the day
Moon Any. This one is a habit rather than an event
What You Will Need
A small glass of dark grape juice or red wine
Held up during the first verse and then poured out at the end as a libation - onto bare earth, into a plant pot, or down the drain if neither is to hand. It is an offering and a marker of the hour. It is never taken into the body.
Jojoba oil
A few drops, warmed between your palms. Jojoba because it is one of the gentlest carrier oils and sits well on most skin - but any oil you already use on your face will serve. Patch-test anything new on the inside of your wrist first.
A comfortable place to sit
A chair, the edge of the bed, a bathroom stool. Somewhere you can sit upright with both hands free.
Moon Phase & Timing
This is a nightly rite and takes its timing from the clock rather than the calendar.
After the last meal of the day: The named hour. It marks the day as over, which is most of what it is for.
Any night: Repeat it as often as it is useful. A rite done on fourteen ordinary nights does more than one done perfectly at the full moon.
Full Moon: A pleasant night to begin, if you want a start date to remember.
