Invocations: Use these to help bring Isis to you.

Gracious Isis
You who are Queen of the Gods
the lamp of the night
the creator of all that is
Wild and free;
Mother of woman and man;
Lover of Ra and protectress of spirit:
Descend, I pray,
With your lunar ray of power
Upon my circle here.

Crescent One of the starry skies
Flowered One of the fertile plain,
Flowing one of the ocean's sighs,
Blessed one of gentle rain,
hear my chant midst the standing stones,
Open me to your mystic light:
Waken me to your silver tones,
Be with me in my sacred rite!

Isis of the Moon,
You who are all that ever was,
All that is,
And all that shall be:
Come, veiled Queen of the Night!
Come as the scent of the sacred lotus
Charging my circle

"I am the star that rises from the sea,
The twilight sea.
I bring men dreams that rule their destiny.
I bring the Moon-tides to the souls of men,
The tides that flow and ebb and flow again;
That flow and ebb and flow alternately,
These are my secret, these belong to me.
I am the Eternal Woman, I am She
The tides of all men's souls belong to me
The tides that flow and ebb and flow again,
The secret, silent tides that govern men;
These are my secret, these belong to me
Out of my hands bestows serenity-
Thses are the moontides, these belong t me
Isis in Heaven, on Earth Persephone,
Diana of the Moon, and Hecatate;
Veiled Isis, Aphrodite from the Sea,
All these I am and they are seen in me.
The high full moon in the mid-heaven shines clear,
I hear the invoking words, hear and appear.
Shaddaiel Chai and Rhea, Binah, Ge
I come unto the priestess that calleth me."
