Winter Ritual

   I call upon the power of the Earth, and welcome you to my circle. You hold the seeds within you, warm and deep, waiting for the return of daylight. Keep the roots of life sacred within your womb, until it is time for growth to begin once again.

   I call upon the power of the Air, and welcome you to my circle. The whirling winds of winter brings snow and cold to my hearth and home.

   I call upon the power of the Fire, and welcome you to my circle. May you keep me safe, and warm my home, the spirit of the Sun.

   I call upon the power of the Water, and welcome you to my circle. Snow and ice, sleet and rain, wash away that I no longer need.

   I come this night to rejoice by the light of the Moon. I celebrate the season of the darkness, knowing that the next turn of the Wheel will bring Light. I use this time of darkness for thought, introspection, and growth. As the moon above, so the Earth below.

So Mote It Be.
