Invoking the Elements


This is one example of how to cast a circle and invoke the elements. There are many ways that you can do this. Make it your own. You'll know what feels right to you. 

Air - carry the incense from the altar and walk around the circle. Wave the smoke around the circle's edge as you say: I call upon the element of air to bless this circle. May it take my prayers to the God and Goddess as I perform my work tonight 

Earth - pick up the pentacle and walk around the circle. Hold the pentacle up at each quarter as you say: I call upon the element of earth to bless this circle. May it protect me with grounding force as I perform my work tonight. 

Fire - pick up one of the altar candles and walk around the circle. Hold the candle up at each quarter as you say: I call upon the element of fire to bless this circle. May it grant me inspiration as I perform my work tonight. 

Water - take a bowl of salted water and walk around the circle. Splash droplets of water around the circle's edge as you say: I call upon the element of water to bless this circle. May it grant me inner sight as I perform my work tonight.

Spirit - say: I call upon the element of spirit to bless this circle. May it grand me personal power as I perform my work tonight.  (This one is incomplete, for right now. I need to do more research)
