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

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.
