A simple invocation I learned from a close friend long ago.

By the Earth below,
By the Winds that blow,
By the Fires that glow,
By the Waters that flow.

Elements hear us,
Your spirits we beckon,
Join us in love,
Hale and welcome.

___________

By the Waters that flow,
By the Fires that glow,
By the Winds that blow,
By the Earth below.

Return if you must,
To the places you dwell.
We honor your trust,
Hale and farewell.
