Hey folks. I hate for my first post in here to be on such a heavy matter, but:

I'm working on a healing ritual for a male victim of sexual assault. Physical/medical and legal issues are cared for (and to be honest, as hard as that part is, it's the easiest part of the healing process)...just want to work a bit on the spiritual level as well.

I have some great healing rituals that I've used in my own healing, but, as I am female, they tend to be women-centered.

My first thought always goes to Pele, but I also see her more as a protector of women (please note this is just my PERSONAL experience).

Any suggestions? I'm willing to work with anything as long as it's respectful.

I don't know much about rituals etc. My opinion lies in cleansing the soul. Direct guided spiritual healing.

True, true. Definitely something to work on...and something that all of us need regardless of situation.

Oddly enough, after I mentioned Pele yesterday...I was doing some pleasure reading and came across Pele's sister Hi-iaki, who would be wonderful to work with in this instance. (I know very little of Hawaiian dieties, so I was rather surprised to come across her.)

Thank you, again, for your reply.

My option would be to go to the sun god in your specific theology. For me i would call on thor or his father odin. another option is to remove the negativity. Since he is male i would also recommend a black and red candle and a small amount of absinthe. burn wormwood, wolfsbane and sage, these will aid in the purification and healing.

Just my opinion,
