The Four Angels Invocation by Laughing Starheart

I call upon the Archangels
Of the four directions:
Thank your guidance,
your blessing
and your protection.

I call upon Raphael
of the Sacred Air
Help me see clearly
Divinely aware

I call upon Michael
of the Sacred Fire
with courage and inner strength
help me be inspired

I call upon Gabriel
of the Sacred Water
help my feeling well and flow
lift my heart I offer

I call upon Uriel
of the Sacred Earth
help me root to heal and grow
from birth to rebirth

The Charge of the Goddess

Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Ceridwen, Diana, Arionrhod, Brigid, and by many other names:

“Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise. You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free, you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ecstacy of the spirit and Mine also is joy on earth. For My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret that opens upon the door of youth, and Mine is the cup of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Ceridwen that is the holy grail of immortality. I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of all things and My love is poured upon the earth.”

Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven, whose body encircles the universe:

“I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the stars and mysteries of the waters, I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return. Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold – all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.”

Charge of the Earth Mother

Hear the words of the Earth Mother! Gaia, Hera, Demeter…she by many names by many peoples….all across my sacred earth.

I am the pulsing heartbeat of the living earth…it is my body…my being…the soul of nature who gives life to the universe. The trees that surround you…they are my living arms…spread wide to greet you. To keep you. The earth beneath your feet….it is my core. My body. My breathing Soul.

The rivers…my children…they are my flowing blood…the lifeline that ebbs and flows within your veins just as it does in the vast oceans….all to the rhythm of my sacred moon. The mountains are my bosom….its glaciers my sweet milk that pours out upon the land frozen in time to sustain and provide for many years into the future…

And upon my earth in your walk….there lies beside you many gifts…many pieces of wisdom if only you open your ears to listen. You are not alone. You have many animal brother’s and sisters that you would be wise to seek their counsel.
For I am the hoot of the mystical owl…my eyes illuminating in the night…my vision keen and aware of even the slightest movement……hoooooo……hear my call. I am the lioness strong and proud….protecting my young…yet fierce and strong! I am the spider…delicate…and so small yet I create and weave a web of strength and beauty…stretching wide and vast only to be covered in my tears of the morning dew.

HEAR MY CALL to you. I seek your humility….your balance with all of nature. Hear my song in the song of seashells….for in them I share my mysteries. Listen to the whisper of the trees for they dance to the wind and transform and change to show resilience, see my face in the rocks formed over millions of years…solid and true….find me in all that surrounds you for I am the all and I am always with you and within you. For in these these…my wisdom you will find.
Seek it. Listen. Dance. Give honor and become the part of me in which you were created. These words to you…I freely give. That of the Earth Mother…sacred life giver…seek and you will find. Ask wisely and I will give. Connect and you will be set free.

Hear my words my children…………. This I charge you….

The Children’s Charge of the Goddess

I am the Earth
I am the Moon
I am the Goddess, and I love you
I love you like a sister
I love you like a mother
I love you like a grandmother
Talk to Me
When you are mad, or sad, or scared
Think of Me, and thank Me,
When you are happy
You can find me on the wind
You can find me in the water
You can find me in your heart
and remember….
whatever you look like,
If you are girl,
You look just like Me

I am the Sun
I am the Stars
I am the God, and I love you
I love you like a brother
I love you like a father
I love you like a grandfather

Talk to Me

When you are mad, or sad, or scared
Think of Me, and thank Me
When you are happy
You can find me in the forest
You can find me in a fire
You can find me in your heart
And remember….
Whatever you look like,
If you are a boy,
You look just like Me.

Seek me always. I, who have been known as Pan, Hern, Odin, Osiris and a multitude of other names will bless the seeker. Seek me with joy. Behold my worship, for it is in song and verse, love and lust, dance and passion that you will find me. Seek me with courage. I am found in the wild forests and lonely seas. Fear nothing and be not weak for my path is one of strength and steadfastness.

Love me and when I come for you, I will lay you at your Mother’s feet and She will again breath life into you that you may return once more as I do.

These things I Charge you, for I know it is I whom you desire and it is I whom you will become at the end of your days.

Hail Paralda

King of the Eastern Realms, Bringer of Light
Sovereign of all creatures of the Air
Lord of the Fairies
You are with us on high mountain peaks
And on the wind swept beaches
We feel Your might in the gusty winds of winter
And Your warmth in summer breezes across the meadows
Caress us now with the winds of inspiration
Fill us with the breath of life

Your winds we know by name
Eurus in the East
Notus in the South
Zephrus in the West
Ophion in the North

Bring them now and let them be a
Whirldwind about us
Fan the fires of Breet and Baphomet

Lord of Air, send Raphael to us
Let him sit at our Eastern Gate and guard of circle

Hail Raphael, Angel of the Dark Lord, Slayer of Evil
Raise your sword against the black spirits who
Would dare venture to close to this sacred space
Protect Merlyn’s magick here tonight

Paralda,
Send your fairies through the Gate
Let them dance among us here tonight
Let them touch us and pleasure us
In their mysterious ways
May the smell of their lust for us
And ours for each other
Hang heavy in the air
And lend its power to our Magick
So Mote It Be

Dismissal

Hail Paralda, Zephyr King
We thank you
Hail Raphael, Warrior Prince
We thank you

You came to our aid with love
We release you now
Return to your Realm beyond the rising sun
Or stay with us as is your will

Allow your fairies to linger a while
Longer with us and let them touch
Us with their magick as we sleep
So Mote It Be
