Invocation to the Elements
(Native American Indian)
O Great Spirit of the East,
Radiance of the rising Sun,
Spirit of new beginnings,
O Grandfather Fire,
Great nuclear fire ~ of the Sun.
Power of life~energy, vital spark,
Power to see far, and to
Imagine with boldness.
Power to purify our senses,
Our hearts and our minds.
We pray that we may be aligned with You,
So that your powers may flow through us,
And be expressed by us,
For the good of the planet Earth,
And all living beings upon it.
O Great Spirit of the West,
Spirit of the Great Waters,
Of rain, rivers, lakes and springs.
O Grandmother Ocean,
Deep Matrix, womb of all life.
Power to dissolve boundaries,
To release holdings,
Power to taste and to feel,
To cleanse and to heal,
Great blissful darkness of peace.
We pray that we may be aligned with You,
So that your powers may flow through us,
And be expressed by us,
For the good of this planet Earth,
And all living beings on it.
O Great Spirit of the North,
Invisible Spirit of the Air,
And of the flesh, cool winds,
O vast and boundless Grandfather Sky,
Your living breath animates all life.
Yours is the power of clarity and strength,
Power to hear the inner sounds,
To sweep out the old patterns,
And to bring change and challenge,
The ecstasy of movement and the dance.
We pray that we may be aligned with You,
So that your powers may flow through us,
And be expressed by us,
For the good of this planet Earth,
And all living beings on it.
O Great Spirit of the South,
Protector of the fruitful land,
And of all green and growing things,
The noble trees and grasses,
Grandmother Earth, Soul of Nature.
Great power of the receptive,
Of nurturance and endurance,
Power to grow and bring forth
Flowers of the field,
Fruits of the garden.
We pray that we may be aligned with You,
So that your powers may flow through us,
For the good of this planet Earth,
And all living beings upon it.

And my own true self within me
Let all go as I will.

Open Circle
This is a Beautiful Ritual and like all rituals must be done with the right Intent! Rituals for Love must never be done to alter another's Free Will.
This ritual is ideal for people making a commitment to each other or renewing their HandFasting Vows.
Blessed Be
We meet here this night to raise the energy to send healing to all those in need.
Let us welcome the Lady, knower of the secrets of the Earth. Peace, stability,
productivity and growth.
Allow her to share this bounty with you. As you take her hand this night,
she will show you the doorway
to the Centre of the World - The centre of Yourself.
Let us now worship in our church where the earth is our floor,
the sky our roof and the trees our walls.
Peace and love to the Spirits of this place.
Please join with us this night in
our ritual.
Please stand guard by our circle and protect us from all harm.
Join with us in creating this Circle as a gathering place of love,
joy and friendship, as a boundary
between the everyday world and that Place where no one has gone before.
As a shield against all
that blocks our connection with the numinous, with the distant stars and as a sphere to
focus in the name of the Lord and Lady.
Blessed Be

Beloved art thou as thou passeth over us. When thou riseth, thou sendest forth light
from thy beautiful eyes.
Beloved art thou, pleasant art thou, thy beauties seize and carry
away our hearts.
Look down on us now and grant us you blessings and
protection.

Each person now steps forward with their thoughts and prayers written on pieces of paper
and drops the paper into the fire to burn. As the paper burns the Priestess says:
So Mote it Be and all answer So Mote it Be.
Circle joins hands.
PRIESTESS:
With hands joined together we stand before you. Welcoming you our Lady with love and trust.

this night as your radiance shines down upon us and we behold your beauty. We thank you for
lighting our path in the darkness of this world and showing us that we are not alone. Hear our
prayers now and help those we pray for.
HUM to raise energy and send off, can walk the circle or drum also to raise the energy.
The Priestess will know when the energy is right and release it to the elements to carry it forth.
