Before 16-year-old Rebecca lights candles on the small altar in her bedroom each night, she says her prayers: “Hail, fair Moon, ruler of the night, guard me and mine until the light. Hail fair Sun, ruler of the day, make the morn to light my way.” On her altar are four porcelain chalices representing the elements — air, water, fire, and earth. Each contains rose petals, semi-precious stones, melted candle wax, and dried leaves. They rest on the corners of a five-pointed star.
