Ritual of Reconciliation – Maternal Line

Light two candles – one for the Mother line, one for the Father line.

Place them side by side. Breathe deeply.

Say softly:

“To the women who came before me:
I see your pain. I honor your silence. I release your sacrifice.
I choose to love without losing myself.”

Then turn to the second candle and say:

“To the men who came before me:
I forgive your absence. I release the burden of unspoken love.
I choose presence. I choose voice. I choose healing.”

Bring both candles together:

“I unify the broken parts within me.
I honor all who came before – but I walk a new path now.
I am the bridge. I am the beginning. I am the peace.”
