Quarter Invocations ( Harvest Tide )

Guardian of the East, ruler of Air.
We invite thee to join with us
Be thou as the wind
That sorts wheat from chaff
Blessed be!

Guardian of the South, ruler of Fire
We invite thee to join with us
Be thou as the flame
Blessed be!

Guardian of the West, ruler of Water
We invite thee to join with us
Be thou as wine of harvested grape
That warms the heart and inspires the spirit
Blessed be!

Guardian of the North, ruler of Earth
We invite thee to join us
Be thou as the field that nurtures the seed within
That shall burst forth in Spring
Blessed be!

Invocation of the Elements

Air, Fire, Water, Earth
Elements of Astral birth
I call you now, attend to me!
In the circle nightly cast
Safe from psychic curse or blast
I call you now, attend to me!
From cave and desert, sea and hill
By wand, cup, blade or pentacle
I call you now, attend to me!
This is my will
"So Mote It Be"

Isis Invocation

Isis of the moon
You who are all that ever was
All that is
And all that shall be
Come veiled Queen of the Night
Come as the scent of sacred Lotus
Charging my circle
With love and magick
Do descend upon my Circle
I pray
O'Blessed Isis!

Invocation for Summer

Fireflies and Summer sun

In circles round, we become as one

Singing songs at magickal hour

We bring the winds and timeless power

Turning inward, hand to hand

We dance the hearth, to heal the land

Standing sacred beneath the sky

We watch the fire from out its eye

Swaying breathless beside the sea

We call the Goddess, "So Mote It Be"

Invocation to the Horned God ( Alexandrian )

By the flame that burneth bright,

O Horned One!

We call thy name into the night,

O Ancient One!

Thee we invoke, by the Moon led sea,

By the standing stone and the twisted tree.

Thee we invoke, where gather thy own.

By the nameless shore, forgotten and lone.

Come where the round of the dance is trod,

Horn and Hoof of the Goat Foot God!

By moonlit meadow, on dusky hill,

Where the haunted wood is hushed and still,

Come to the charm of the chanted prayer,

As the moon bewitches the midnight air.

Evoke thy powers that potent bide,

In shining stream and the secret tide,

In fiery flame by starlight pale,

In shadowy host that rides the gale. And by the fern drakes, faerie haunted,

Of forests wild and woods enchanted.

Come, O Come!

To the heartbeat's drum!

Come to us who gather below,

When the broad white Moon is climbing slow.

Through the stars to the heaven's height,

We hear thy hoofs on the wind of night!

As black tree branches shake and sigh,

By joy and terror, we know thee nigh.

We speak the spell thy power unlocks,

At Solstice Sabbath and Equinox!

Herbal Invocation

Earth, divine Goddess, Mother Nature who generates all things and brings forth anew the sun which you have given to the nations.

Guardian of sky and sea and of all gods and powers, through your powers all nature falls silent and then sinks in sleep.

Again you bring back the light and chase away night and yet again you cover us most securely with your shades.

You do contain chaos infinite, yea and winds, and showers, and storms, you send them out when you will and cause the seas to roar, you chase away the sun and rouse the storms.

Again when you will you send forth the joyous day and give the nourishment of life with your eternal surety, and when the soul departs to you we return.

You are indeed duly called Great Mother of the Gods, you conquer by your divine name.

You are the source of strength of nations and of gods, without you nothing can be brought to perfection or be born.

You are Great Queen of the Gods.

Goddess! I adore thee as Divine.

I call upon your name,

be pleased the grant that which I ask of you, so shall I give thanks to thee, Goddess, with due faith.

Hear I beseech you, and be favorable to my prayer.

What ever herb your power does produce, give, I pray, with goodwill to all nations to save them and grant me this my medicine.

Come to me with your powers, and howsoever I may use them, may they have success to whosoever I may give them.

Whatever you grant, may it prosper.

To you all things return.

Those who rightfully receive these herbs from me, please make them whole.

Goddess, I beseech you, I pray as a supplicant that by your majesty you grant this to me.

Now I make intercession to you all your powers and herbs and to your majesty, you whom Earth parent of all has produced and given as a medicine of health to all nations and has put majesty upon you, I pray you, the greatest help to the human race.

This I pray and beseech from you, br present here with your virtues, for She who created you has Herself promised that I may gather you into the goodwill of him whom the art of medicine has bestowed, and grant for health's sake good medicine by grace of your powers.

I pray grant me through your virtues that whatsoever is wrought by me though you may in all its power have good success and that I may always be permitted with the favor of your majesty to gather you into my hands and to glean your fruits.

So shall I give thanks to you in the name of the majesty which ordained your birth.

Invocation to Pan

Face the altar with raised hands and say:

"Great God Pan, return to Earth again!

Come at my call and show thyself to men.

Shepherd of Goats, upon the wild hill's way,

Lead thy lost flock from darkness into day,

Forgotten are the ways of sleep and night,

Men seek for them whose eyes have lost the light.

Open the door, the door which hath no key,

The door of dreams, whereby men come to thee.

O Mighty Stag, O answer to me!

Akhera goiti

akhera beiti! ( lower the hands )
