Morning Invocation
Adapted by Susan Reed from original sources and from Caitlín Matthews’s retelling.
I greet you, Powers of Air!
Clarify my thoughts;
Hold me to the Truth;
Awaken the Powers of Air within me
That I, with my thoughts,
Honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Fire!
Energize my work;
Empower me to meet my challenges;
Awaken the Powers of Fire within me
That I, with my deeds,
Honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Water!
Nourish me with Universal Love;
Wash away my failings;
Awaken the Powers of Water within me
That I, with my feelings,
Honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Earth!
Stabilize my life;
Strengthen me with the wisdom of the ages;
Awaken the Powers of Earth within me
That I, with my senses,
Honor the Gods.
I greet you, Powers of Spirit!
Integrate my abilities;
Consecrate my service;
Awaken the Powers of Spirit within me
That I, with my life,
Honor the Gods.
