Basic Ritual

1. the Circle, cast
"Circle of Power, I conjure thee,
So that you may be a boundary.
Between two worlds this circle lies,
Accept no evil in disguise.

"A meeting place of Peace and Trust,
Leave all else out in the dust.
Love and Joy be welcome, too,
To remind us not to be a fool."


2. the Quarters, called*
"Hail, Guardian of the Watchtower of the East!
I call you from gentle winds scented with the promise of Spring.
Come; share with me your boundless wisdom.
I invite you to guide and guard my circle.

"Hail, Guardian of the Watchtower of the South!
I call you from the brilliant fires of transformation.
Come; let me behold your passionate creation.
I invite you to guide and guard my circle.

"Hail, Guardian of the Watchtower of the West!
I call you from the azure depths and rippling pool.
Come; let me drink from your well of love.
I invite you to guide and guard my circle.

"Hail, Guardian of the Watchtower of the North!
I call you from snow-topped mountains and dark fertile fields.
Come; touch me with your enduring patience.
I invite you to guide and guard my circle."

3. the Deity, evoked**
"The Master and Mystress of magic,
That dwell in the deeps of the mind,
Immortal and ever renewing,
With power to free and to bind.

"I ask that you aid me in my circle,

To bring protection and power.
Please come to me now,
In this place and in this hour."

4. ACTUAL WORKING

5. the Deity, thanked***
"In this place and in this hour,
I called upon the Ancient Power.

"The Master and Mystress of Magic,
The Goddess and God divine,
I thank you for your magic,
I thank you for your time."

6. the Quarters, released*
"Powers of the North, thank you for your time.
Empower my magic with solid foundations
So that it may grow daily in my heart. Farewell.

"Powers of the West, thank you for your time.
Empower my magic with inspiration
So that it flows freely in and around my life. Farewell.

"Powers of the South, thank you for your time.
Empower my magic with passionate energy,
As a source of encouragement in my heart. Farewell.

"Powers of the East, thank you for your time.
Empower my magic with your creative winds
So that it may ever be a source of hope in my life. Farewell."

7. the Circle, broke
"Circle of power, I conjured thee,
Now you have done enough for me."

*I got the Quarter calls and releases from asiya.com
**The Deity Evocation: Evocation is the correct term, not invocation. I am requesting their presence -around- me(evoking), not requesting they come -into- me(invoking). Also, the first stanza is from the Creed.
***The first line is reminiscent of Charmed. Jus' Sayin'.
