In my mind, I stand upon a small hill.
An old and weather beaten Oak stands beside a large clearing.
I look around me and take in the nature of this place. As far as I can see, grasslands stretch to the horizon A gental breeze blows giving the grass the look of ocean waves. The air is warm and welcoming.
As I prepare those things I brought with me, I can feel the Earth vibrate in anticipation. Even the Oak seems to glow with a golden hue.
With a bough of Fir I clean the site.....
"Mother Earth, in this place I ask your blessing. Aid me now. I cast out all energies that would cause me harm or disturb my thoughts this night"
"Father Sky, in this place I ask your blessing. Aid me now. Look down upon me and ward me from all that would cause me harm or disturb my thoughts this night."
With salt and sand I mark the five points
"I call upon my guides and in this place I ask your blessing. Aid me now. Take up your places and stand as the towers. Ward this place against outside enfluences. Guide me that my deed remains true."
I place wood at the centre of the clearing and light the fire
"This fire I do consecrate. As it burns our sacred energy flows. Let this place be the focus point. Let all potential be turned to this deed."
"My Lord Zeus, My Lady Hera, in this place I ask your blessing. Aid me now. I call to you to join me here. Lend your will to mine."
"I call upon all Gods and Goddesses, by what ever name you answer. I call upon all the spirits who dwell both within and without the source of all things. In this place I ask your blessing. Aid me now. Lend your will to mine."
"This world is filled with so much hate, so much mistrust, so much greed, so much lust for power. I ask that all mankind be touched with a moment of compassion."
"There are so many who feel weakened by stresses of this world or by others who attempt to oppress them.
Through the divine source, may all who need strength feel the energy flowing throgh them and may they gain the strength they need."
"Our world is dieing. The polution of our air, water, and lands is almost to a point of no return. I ask that all mankind be touched with a connection to mother Earth. Let our eyes be opened to the harm that we do and inspire us to reverse the damage that has been done."
"In peace and good will, I ask the blessing of all for all. And through the divine source, let it be done."
"As the wine flows from Ewer to cup, Life flows from father to mother. So the river of energy, of life, does flow eternal.
I offer this wine, this life, this energy, to seal and bind my will to this deed."
The fire is all but embers as I pour the wine onto it. The steam rises into the sky and carries my blessings and requests upon the winds.
"My Lord, my Lady, I give you thanks and I release you from my calling."
"My guides, I give you thanks and I release you from my calling."
"Mother Earth, Father Sky, I give you thanks and I release you from my calling."
" Gods and Goddesses, by what ever names you answer, Spirits that dwell both within and without of the source of all things, I give you thanks and release you from my calling."
I open my eyes and return to this world. I hope others may join me in similar wishes.
