I have just started doing the DMH Grove ritual. I've been looking through MM threads on the subject and discovered the following that surprised me: https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org/139182.html?thread=16658350#cmt16658350
In it you recommend that in doing the SOP within the Grove the elemental gates should be drawn in the grove quarters. The DMH doesn't mention this, and I've just been doing the SOP as normal, centred on me, but facing South.
Can I confirm that you meant to recommend by contrast:
1. Physically walk to the Grove edges to invoke the gates, and 2. Draw Spirit Below/Above over the altar rather than oneself (Spirit Within has to still be centred on oneself I assume), 3. Make the altar the centre of the circulating sphere?
It sounds like a powerful way to do it if so, mirroring the circumambulatory Grove opening.
Grove ritual SOP
I hope you're well.
