I'm a city dweller. I have little opportunity to go out into the country, and
the closest I usually come to nature is a city park. I live in an apartment,
with no spare rooms. I know of no other pagans in my area. So I imagine a 
place; a temple for the mind, as I have none for the body.

I start with a forest. Mostly deciduous, with some coniferous as well. Lots of
birds and animals running around, living their lives, occasionally ending
them. A living forest; a nice place to take a walk in, though there's no real
paths. The birds twitter, the leaves rustle, squirrels chatter, brooks babble,
and so on. The wind brushes against my face, rustling the white robes I'm 
wearing (sans footgear). The sunlight is filtered through the greenery 
overhead, dappling the landscape.

Add a small clearing. A brook runs through it, off to the side a bit, making
the usual brook noises. Overhead, the nearby trees' greenery still blocks 
most of the sky, but the light is fairly bright. Some rocks lie near the 
brook. Birds fly around above, squirrels jump from tree to tree, a rabbit
nibbles greenery at the edge of the clearing, eyeing me. In the center of the
clearing sits a square cube of stone, about a meter each way. Covering it is
an undecorated white cloth, upon which some objects rest. On the other side
of the alter from the brook is a spot for a fire, ringed with stone. Wood is
laid out, but not burning yet.

On the alter itself are the implements for most rituals. In the center is a 
small oil lamp, which is always kept lit. A bowl of Water, taken from the 
brook, is on the left (east). An incense burner, with several cones of incense 
ready, is on the right (west). On the far side of the alter (north) is a 
crystal, found elsewhere in the forest. Close to me (south) sits a white 
candle, ready to be lit. Several other implements are arranged about the main 
ones; a white-handled knife, a silver goblet, a golden pentacle, a foot-long 
branch, a home-built deck of cards similar to Tarot, a bowl of salt, a round 
mirror (currently covered).

Elsewhere in the clearing, near the fireplace, is a small bench/table, made
of wood. On it lies my Book of Shadows and a pen, ready for me to record
whatever I think I should. Also on the table are miscellaneous ingredients,
including various herbs, stones, and flowers. There are also some biscuits and
wine, to ground myself after the ritual. Hung over the firepit itself, on a 
tripod, is a small cauldron. Off to the side a bit is a tape/CD player, ready
to play some "atmosphere" music or rhythyms.

I now prepare myself for the ritual itself. Removing the robe, I step into the
brooks, and splash water all over myself. I wash the robe, as well (drip-dry)
to rid it of unwanted influences. Redressing, I step to the alter. The sounds
of the forest slowly fade from my perception. I take the wand, and draw a 
circle in the air around me and the alter, defining the space the energy I 
create will stay until I release it.

I take the pentacle in hand, face north, and call to the spirits of the earth,
wealth, solidness, to bless me and this circle, and to lend their aid to this
ritual. I put down the pentacle, and light the incense from the central lamp. 
Facing east, I ask the spirits of the air, mind, thinking, to bless both me 
and the circle, and to lend their aid. I light the candle, face south, and
ask for the blessing and aid of the spirits of fire, passion, activity. I
raise the bowl of water, face west, and ask for the spirits of water, emotion,
to bless and aid me. Finally, I ask the Godess and God to bless both me and
the circle, and to lend their aid to the ritual.

Then, I ritual. :)

As I finish the ritual, I turn to the four quarters, and thank and dismiss the
spirits who aided me. I snuff the candle, but let the incense finish burning.
I thank the God and Godess for listening. I step out of the circle, breaking
it. As I eat some biscuits and drink a cup of wine, I write down what I
learned from the ritual in my Book of Shadows.
