Face each direction (with arms out in appropriate elemental invoking gesture), and
say, while channeling and visualizing elemental power:
" Powers of (say direction),
- Powers of (say corresponding element), - We greet you, we honor you, we welcome you here! - Watch over and bless and protect
this place. "
After each invocation, shape the energy into columns of light by sweeping your
arms together until they are parallel and sweeping them up and down while channeling and shaping the energy. When the energy
is properly shaped, say
"So mote it be."
After you have
done all four quarters, channel in spirit energy.
To return the energy to a more mellow state while energizing yourself, put your hands out
and take in a bit of the energy into your self from each direction, going widdershins, hold hands to your heart and take in
the energy (techniques also exist for bringing it into a stone and retrieving it when needed).
