INVOCATION OF THE HORNED GOD

By the flame that burneth bright, O Horned One! We call thy name into the night, O Ancient One! Thee we invoke, by moon-led sea, By the standing stone and the twisted tree. The we invoke, where gather thine own, By the nameless shrine forgotten and alone. Come where the round of the dance is trod, Horn and hoof of the goatfoot god! By moonlit meadow on dusky hill, When 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-brakes fairy haunted Of forests wild and woods enchanted. Come! O come! To the heart-beat'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, Sabbat, and equinox, Word of virtue the veil to rend, From primal dawn to the wide world's end, Since time began-- The blessing of Pan! Blessed be all in hearth and hold, Blessed in all worth more than gold. Blessed be in strength and love, Blessed be wher'er we rove. Vision fade not from our eyes Of the pagan paradise Past the gates of death and birth, Our inheritance of the earth. From our soul the song of spring Fade not in our wandering. Our life with all life is one, By blackest night or noonday sun. Eldest of gods, on thee we call, Blessing be on thy creatures all.

Doreen Valiente "Witchcraft For Tomorrow" pp. 190-191

Invocation to the Horned God

By the flame that burneth bright,
O' Horned One!
We call they 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 thine own,
By the nameless shrine forgotten and lone.

Come where the round of the dance is trod,
Horn and hoof of hte goatfoot god!
By moonlit meadow, on dusky hill,
When the haunted wood is bushed 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-brakes fairy-haunted
Of forests wild and woods enchanted.

Come! Come!
To the heart-beats 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 they power unlocks,
At Solstice, Sabbat and equinox.

The Grimoire of Lady Sheba

INVOCATION OF THE MOON GODDESS

Diana, queen of night, In all your beauty bright, Shine on us here, And with your silver beam Unlock the gate of dream; Rise bright and clear. On earth and sky and sea, Your magic mystery Its spell shall cast, Wherever leaf may grow, Wherever tide may flow, Till all be past. O secret queen of power, At this enchanted hour We ask your boon. May fortune's favor fall Upon true witches all, O Lady Moon! Doreen Valiente "Witcraft For Tomorrow" pp. 189-190

INVOCATION TO FRIGG

When this invocation was first used, each person in a healing circle invoked a healer into (her/him)self. This was my invocation. The rest of the circle was asked to echo "Join us, Frigg" as I was saying "Join us. Frigg,". This was my first attempt at writing an invocation, and it DID work. I hope that it also works for anyone else who wishes to use it, because it now feels like time to share it. Blessed Be, Russ "Frigg, Daughter of Jord, Join us. Frigg, Daughter of Fiorgyn, Join us.

Air, Fire, Water, Earth,

Elements of astral birth,

By wand, blade,and pentacle,

I call you now, attend to me!

This Is my will, so mote it be!

Invocation to the Elements #2

Come to me Air, so cool and clear

My words come with ease and also no fear

Give me sharp mental focus, creativity too

So that positive ends spring from all that I do.

Come to me Fire, brilliant and bright

Give me strength and forthrightness all through my life.

Warm me with truth and power to set right

Whatever is wrong through love and its light.

Come to me Water, silky and free

Compassion and empathy now give to me

For soothing life's troubles, both mine and my friends'

Understanding and peace from your rivers you send.

Come to me Earth, plants, animals and gold

Allow me to grow with the grace of a doe.

Serene and content, with standards so high

Give me purpose, stability and and the will to try.

Come to me, Akasha, my spirit transform

By all the elements, Your blessing perform.

Help me to balance all I receive

So that this Witch's life says to all, Blessed Be!

Branwen

The Calling of the Wind

Whistle thrice in the direction of east. Stand after whistling and intone in a strong voice:

Wind, power of air! Come forth to this day!

Blow out the old and whisk in the new.

Let me call the winds, the winds of change!
