Calling the Corners
(you'll need soil or a rock,
a fallen feather, a candle, and a small waterbowl. Place the soil/rock in the north position, the feather in the east, the
candle in the south, and the water in the west. Then say something like the rite below.)
Touch the soil and
say: All Hail the spirit of the north, I call the forces of stability, foundation, and prosperity. I beseech thee. I invoke
thee.
Touch the feather
and say: All Hail the spirit of the east, I call the forces of freshness, thought, and movement. I beseech thee. I invoke
thee.
Hold your palm over
the candle's flame and say: All Hail the spirit of the south, I call the forces of transformation, love, and passion. I beseech
thee. I invoke thee.
Touch the water and say: All
Hail the spirit of the west, I call the forces of love, purification, and healing. I beseech thee. I invoke thee.
Place
your hands, palms down, over the assembled objects and say:
From the Soil, from the
Stone
From the Wind, From the
sky
From the Flaming Candle's
light
From the water's gentle
sigh
I now call on the blending
forces
Of elemental power
Come here from your primal
source
Be here in this, your
hour
Move your hands in clockwise
circles over the objects and say:
Earth empowers my magic
Air empowers my magic
Fire empowers my magic
Water empowers my magic
Look up and say: As above
Look down and say: So
Below
...and you're done. With each
action, you must feel the words you are saying, visualize this power going through you.
