Receive the Body of Our Father — The Mint Leaf Baptism
In Circleism, the mint leaf can be used as a symbol of freshness, life, renewal and our connection with the natural world.
We call this symbolic ceremony:
Receive the Body of Our Father
Begin with water and a fresh mint leaf.
The water represents cleansing, renewal and the water that sustains every plant we grow. The mint leaf represents the Body of Our Father God within Circleism symbolism — something living that has grown from the earth through water and light.
🌿 Take the mint leaf.
💧 Be baptised with water.
🌱 Remember that life must be cared for.
Then the mint leaf may be eaten as the symbolic act of receiving the Body of Our Father.
The ceremony is a reminder rather than a claim that the leaf physically becomes God. Its meaning comes from what it represents: life, renewal, gratitude and responsibility for the natural world.
Afterwards, consider growing your own mint. One plant can produce many leaves and can be propagated into new plants to share with others.
Water the plant. Grow the mint. Share the leaves. Continue the Circle.
