Quarter Invocations



Hail to thee East,

And you - powers of Air!

Morning star of my life -

Blow through me, cleanse me,

Awaken that which has slept too long.

Let me begin my journey

With the blessing of your Light!

Hail to thee South,

And you - powers of Fire!

Golden glow of noonday Sun -

Temper my spirit with your heat,

And stoke the flame of my will

'Til it grows iron hard and ember hot.

Give me the blessing of your Strength!

Hail to thee West,

And you - powers of Water!

Bottomless, fathomless, ancient abyss -

Wash me, flow through me, permeate my being,

And carry me swiftly through my days -

The ebb and flood of daily existence.

Give me the blessing of Life!

Hail to thee North,

And you - powers of Earth!

Deep unseen mystery

Made manifest in all that surrounds me;

Dark mirror that reflects no image,

Yet gazes back at me with my own eyes.

Give me the blessing of your Wisdom!

Rhyming Call of the Quarters

Come to me now, O Winds of the East!

Whirl and twirl 'til the Magick has ceased.

Blow through my heart, and the energy raise.

Blow away clouds and blow away haze.

As I cast this Circle - your power please lend.

Your presence is welcomed - I bid you, come in!

Come to me now, O Southerly Fires!

Warm light, pure strength - add flame to desires.

Cleanse and purify all thoughts mundane.

Protect well this Circle with your pure light and flame.

As I cast this Circle - your power please lend.

Your presence is welcomed - I bid you, come in!

Come now, O Waters of the Western port!

Tides rise and fall, and all harm abort.

Wash away troubles and rinse away pain.

Wash over my spirit with your oceans and rain.

As I cast this Circle - your power please lend.

Your presence is welcomed - I bid you, come in!

Come, Earthly power to me from the North!

Give your strength and stability - give your support.

As your soil is fertile, this Circle shall be.

Nourish all works, as you nourish the tree.

As I cast this Circle - your power please lend.

Your presence is welcomed - I bid you, come in!

Between the worlds, the Circle is cast---

Meeting as one with present, future and past.

The Old Ones and the Young Ones join the night and the day,

And all that is mundane is now swept away.

Merry meet, suspended in space and time,

This Circle is bound by the words of this rhyme!

Celebrate with me the yearly birth.

Earth, Air, Water and Fire,

Remember with me this time we share.

Elements All, attend with me,

this Spring-time Sabbat, So Mote It Be.
