Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This ritual reminds us of Dr. King’s commitment to understanding and peace. You’ll need a crystal with one point. Hold the crystal while sitting at your altar. The point of the crystal should be pointing away from you. Think about understanding and peace filling our world. In your mind, see a brilliant blue-white light streaming from the crystal. Then speak these Words of Power:

Understanding and peace
begin with me,
Understanding and peace
begin at home.
It’s not just a dream; it’s our destiny.
But we must work together, not alone.

End by meditating on the words you’ve just said. Begin to think of ways you can bring help to those in need. Visualize yourself acting upon your Words of Power. Together we can bring understanding and peace to all.
