Invocation


In the name of the Cosmic One
The ancient providence which was from the beginning
And is for eternity
Male and female
The original source of all things
All-knowing, all-prevading, all-powerful
Changeless and eternal

In the name of Our Lady of the Moon
And the Lord of Death and Resurrection;
In the names of the Mighty Ones of the four quarters -
The Kings of the elements

Blessed be this place,
And this time,
And they who are now with us.
