Elemental Meditation
This started as an exercise while leading a teaching group. It was so popular, we decided to use it prior to calling the Quarters at regular Circles. The Callers are each standing at their Quarters while the meditation is read.
Callers... Close your eyes. Ground yourself. Feel yourself one with your elemental. Draw the power of the Elemental into yourself; become one with it.
Eastern Caller, feel the soft, warm breeze caress your face. Revel in its gentleness, for it’s the play of the chase between Lord and Lady. Let it lift your spirit; soar with it. Descending back towards earth, feel it change... grow hotter, more humid as the weight of the fertile summer settles around your shoulders. Move it forward now, into the cold winds of the winter we soon shall face. You ARE Air!
Southern Caller, feel the fire of the Salamanders. Feel the heat fill your mind, your head. Feel your eyes tingle and prickle with heat. Feel it flushing your face, your neck... filling your body, out into your arms; down into your legs and feet. Stand firm, and feel the power that comes from that fire. Draw that power up into your body. Feel it turn to lust as it fills your loins. Cast remembrance towards that one all-encompassing sexual experience. Remember the heat; the passion; the strength of that embrace. Hold that feeling. You ARE Fire!
Western Caller, hear the siren song of those who wait at the western gate. Let the emotions enter into you and flow through you. Anger, hate, despair, terror. Let them fill you, but not overwhelm you. Now, let in the love, the joy, the peace. For in everything, must there be balance. Hold that emotional balance. You ARE Water!
Northern Caller, stand firm and feel the strength of your Spirit. Centered, cautious, giving... yielding, yet never completely conceding. Take the Air, the Fire, the Water, and ground them with the Earth. Hold them all within you equally... you are the balance of us all. You ARE Earth.
