Invocations of the Elements

[-Sky-]

Merry Meet,
I found the below four invocations of the elements a long time ago and I wanted to share them with you because I believe they are beautifully written and have this amazing power to call the elements.They are a bit long so I don't always use them but when I do it is a wonderful experience.
The calling of the Forest and Mountains

Mountains rising to the sky
Fir and cedar, oak and thorn
Ravines deep-green in forest's night
Dusty path old and worn
Powers of earth rise up in me
Powers of earth rise up in me

Caverns dark and crystals bright
Meadows filled with wildflowers
Maple willow bracken ash
Fern-shaded passion's bowers
Powers of earth rise up in me
Powers of earth rise up in me

Here amidst the foliage wild
Where ancient Powers run
I call to me my destiny
Between the moon and sun

Ancient ones of green and gold
Of dirt and root and bone
Grant me your powers that I've seen
Mysteries carved in stone

Knowledge of the powers of Earth
I beseech the Goddess, give
Guide me to their mysteries
And let my magick live.

The Calling of the Wind and Gale

Rising wind and cool night breeze
Hurricane and vaporous clouds
The tingling hint of dawn's first light
Mist boiling in a milky shroud
Powers of air rise up in me
Powers of air rise up in me

The first squall of autumn's gale
The gentle zephyr of spring's new breeze
the chill blast of winter's breath
The whispering heard through summer trees
Powers of air rise up in me
Powers of air rise up in me

Here before the waking dawn
Where the ancient powers fly
I call to me my destiny
Between the stars and sky

Ancient ones of blue and white
Of breeze and calm and storm
Grant me your powers I've seen
Mysteries without form

Knowledge of the powers of Air,
I beseech the Goddess, give
Guide me to their mysteries
And let my magick live.

The Calling of the Flame and Faerie Fire

Sparkles of the faeries' flame
Will o' the Wisps on summer nights
The golden glow of forest green
Glimmering in the sunlight
Powers of flame rise up in me
Powers of flame rise up in me

Balefire cracking on the hill
The flickering light of candle's flame
Passion drumming in the night
Lava flows, wild, untamed
Powers of flame rise up in me
Powers of flame rise up in me

Here before the flickering flame
Where ancient powers reign
I call to me my destiny
Ecstacy unchained

Ancient ones of red and gold
Of sparkle, crackle, trance
Grant to me your powers I've seen
The mystery of the dance

Knowledge of the powers of Flame
I beseech the Goddess, give
guide me to their mysteries
And let my magick live.

The Calling of the Sea and Ocean
Raging river running wild
Grotto's pool of deepest green
Ocean crashing on the shore
Its hidden depths yet to be seen
Powers of water rise up in me
Powers of water rise up in me

Azure lake with flashing fish
The trail of a single tear
Raindrops splashing to the earth
The perfect scrying mirror
Powers of water rise up in me
Powers of water rise up in me

Here within the foaming sea
Where ancient powers dwell
I call to me my destiny
Where roaring waves do swell

Ancient ones of blue and green
Of snow and rain and sleet
Grant to me your powers I've seen
Mysteries of the deep.

Knowledge of the powers of Water
I beseech the Goddess, give
Guide me to their mysteries
And let my magick live.

Blessings,
~Anna

What's the source for these?

What's the source for these?

*thinks a bit* I don't remember clearly...I think I've found them in a website and the website must have taken them from a book..

They're very inspiring... thanks for sharing. I like the way they aren't all vague and watered down, but are full of powerful concrete images. They way poetry should be =)

This is the website, I'm assuming. These calls are from Yasmine Galenorn's book "Embracing the Moon", and the credit is due to her. The website makes credit...so should you, Sky.

If you take something from somewhere, credit it! Write down where you found it and what it's from. Nothing is worse than a post that is nothing more than stolen words copied from someone else's hard work.

I'm sorry Morgandria but since I've saved the above a long time ago in my computer so it is normal that I didn't remember what the website or the author was...I'm sorry if somehow I offended Yasmine Galenonrn but after all I never said they are my incantations.
And please don't call my post "worse" because all I wanted was to share these beautiful invocations with my fellow Mystic Wickers.
