An Invocation of the Four Elements
             Written by Freya Owlsdottir     

Spirit of Air, I call you:
Bring with you the bright winds of clarity
to sweep confusion from my mind,
Bring with you the strong winds of creativity
to help me meet each day as new
Come Air, I call you.
Join with me now

Spirit of Fire, I call you
Bring with you the red flame of passion
to fire the life in my blood
Bring with you the blue flame of inspiration
to power the work of my soul
Come Fire, I call you.
Join with me now

Spirit of Water, I call you
Bring with you the rainbow sparkling of dew
to enchant my eyes with wonder
Bring with you the cold mountain stream
to nourish my body with purity
Come Water, I call you.
Join with me now

Spirit of Earth, I call you
Bring with you the firmness of rock
to support my footsteps on my journey
Bring with you the tall canopy of trees
to shade me in my wanderings
Come Earth, I call you.
Join with me now

 

Invocation of the Fire Goddesses
Inspired by Polyhymnia Grace with revisions by Freya Owlsdottir

Blessed be the Goddess of the Midnight Sun,
Sunnu, Shining One,
Radiant light of the sky.
Teach me to walk with my head held high
without fear, or self doubt.
To be truly who I am
Light my path with your brilliance.
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Sunnu, Goddess of Fire.

Blessed be the Goddess of Transformation
Cerridwen, Dazzling One
Goddess of shapeshifting.
Teach me to be flexible and supple
so that I won't be consumed in my journey through your cauldron
Be with me as I answer your call to change
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Cerridwen, Goddess of Fire.

Blessed be the Goddess of the Sparkling Aurora
Freya, Beautiful One,
Most Passionate Queen.
Teach me the mysteries of the heart's true passion.
Show me the secrets of wyrd .
Walk with me in starlight.
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Freya, Goddess of Fire.

Blessed be the Goddess of the Communal Flame
Hestia, Dedicated One,
Goddess of community and home.
Teach me the lessons of energy and passion,
as I join you in doing the Good Work.
Burn always in my soul
I light this candle
in fiery offering to you,
Hestia, Goddess of Fire.

 

Calling the Four Winds
Written by: Freya Owlsdottir

East

Gentle sprites and airy sylphs, soaring eagle and sweet butterfly, Eurana, Lady of the Eastern wind, be with me in laughter and in thought, bring me the bracing dawn wind and memories of fragrant Spring. Please be welcome in this my rite.

South

Leaping salamanders and fiery ones, lion in passion and dragon in power, phoenix arising pure an whole from the flame, Nona, Lady of the South wind, be with me in passion and in truth, bring me the warmth of the hearth fire and the summer sun, and the clear sight of noonday. Please be welcome in this my rite.

 West

Deep-dwelling undines and swift-flowing naiads, loving dolphin and hidden eel, Zephrina, Lady of the Western wind, be with me in feeling and in vision, in the evening tide's mystery and the upwelling autumn dreams. Please be welcome in this my rite.

North

Gnomes within the earth, and sure foot mountain goats, bull of great strength, and tunneling worms whose work insures life, Boreana, Lady of the north wind, set my life in motion and guide my feet on your path.  Help me see that the harshness and chill of winter always give way to the gentle warmth of spring.  Please be welcome here in this my rite.
