A RUNE FOR ALL REASONS

     Up through my roots, down through my wings,
       into my core energy rings.
     Through mind gone still, through words that dance,
       descend upon me, sacred trance
     Let all impediments to grace
       Now be banished from this place.
     Salted water, smoke of sage,
       cast out all trace of doubt, fear, rage.

     Rise up, flame, and circle 'round --
       within protection will be found
     The forces raised within your frame,
       Circle of Power, you'll contain.

     Spirits of East, South, West, North,
       I summon, stir, and call you forth.
     Graces of thought, changes, feeling, fact --
       these gifts now let your strength attract.

     O Lady, Queen of Earth and Sea,
       come to my aid, I cry to Thee.
     O Lord of Air, Lord of Fire,
       come and bring form to my desire.

     O Light that rises, Light that spins,
       I raise you as the work begins
     O swirling cone of power, I pray
       that you do as I now say!

     (Here you insert your desire)

     O Mighty Ones, you are released
       with thanks and love by this your Priest/ess
     O Circle, open your embrace,
       O Power, to your task make haste.

     Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, now here ye --
       align yourselves compatibly!
     Let no reversal trouble me--
       as is my will, So Mote It Be!
