Invoking the Guardians
Facing East: "Guardians of the watchtower of the East, I do summon, stir,
and call thee up to protect me in my rite. Come now to me, on the cool
breath of Autumn's sigh, which heralds the advent of Winter, and the close
of harvest time. Breathe into me the spirit of the pure joy of life. So
mote it be!" Pick up the incense burner symbolizing the Element of Air.
" I am everywhere. I fill the fleshy pouches of your lungs, I stir all
things from the smallest blade of grass to the tallest tree. I cool you
with my breezes and destroy you with my storms. Without me you would die.
Am I not holy and worthy of praise?"
Place the incense burner on the alter.
Facing South: "Guardians of the watchtower of the South, I do summon, stir,
and call thee to protect me in my rite. Come forth from the hearth fires
and oil lamps where food and shelter is being made ready for the coming
cold months. Kindle me within the flame of spiritual awakening. So mote it
be!" Pick up the candle symbolizing the Element of Fire.
" I live in the guarded embers of campfires and the smokey torches to light
the path. I spring from lightening, and the hands of man. I warm you, I
enlighten you, I can destroy you. Without me you would die. Am I not holy
and worthy of praise?" Place the candle on the alter.
Facing West: "Guardians of the watchtower of the West, I do summon, stir,
and call thee up to protect me in my rite. Come forth from the rainbow hued
morning dew that covers the fields, and is soon to be frost. Asperge me
with your diamends and water my deepest roots, that I may find peace of
mind." Pick up the chalice symbolizing the Element of Water.
" I rise from the moist crevices of the Earth, I tenderly carress or
harshly beat the shores of her body, I fall from the sky in silver sheets.
I bathe you, I can drown you. Without me you would die. AmI not holy and
worthy of praise?" Place the chalice on the alter.
Facing North: "Guardians of the watchtower of the North, I do summon, stir,
and call the up to protect me in my rite. Come forth from the fertile bosom
of our Blessed Mother Earth, and nourish me so that my hopes and desires
may grow to fruitation. So mote it be." Pick up the salt symbolizing the
Element of Earth.
" I am your Mother. From me comes the fruit , grain, and animals that feed
you. I shelter you,I am your support, and my pull on your body keeps you
held firmly to me. Without me you would die. Am I not holy and worthy of
praise?" Place the salt on the alter.
This is a free ritual available from New Moon Occult Shop. If you paid for it or bought it please let us know so we can stop it and make sure everyone gets these for free. I think this is one of the most moving invocations I have read in a
while, and I actually tingle as I invoke. I have the tendency of
"casting" my circle with standing stones, in the Druid tradition. I use low
vibration stones inside, and high vibration stones outdoors. I also have
the " Beholdings and Farewell to the Guardians" for anyone who is
interested.
