Eastern Morning/First breath of the soul
World view forming/Sacred and whole
Wind of knowledge/Simple and wise
Bringer of the lightning/That strikes in our minds
Come to us – be here now
Southern fire/White rays of the sun
Source of will/That always is done
Heat of passion/Longing and need
You who push the Green one/Out of the seed
Come to us – be here now
Western river/Devotee of the moon
Gentle sculptor/Of babes in the womb
Spring of Jubilation/Courage and Tears
Giver of the sweet love/That soothes all our fears
Come to us – be here now
Northern mountain/Body of the Earth
Finite treasure/Of infinite worth
Cave of transformation/Childbirth and death
Suckler of the wild ones/Who curl upon your breast
Come to us – be here now
– Susan Falkenrath Wolf

Born of Water

Cleansing, powerful
Healing, changing
We are (or “I am”)
The River is Flowing

flowing and growing
The river is flowing
down to the sea.
Mother, carry me
Your child I will always be
Mother, carry me
down to the sea.
Air Moves Us
Air moves us, fire transforms us, water shapes us, earth heals us
And the balance of the wheel goes round and round
And the balance of the wheel goes round.
Lady Spin
Lady Spin your circle bright,
Weave your web of dark and light,
Earth, air, fire and water,
Bind us as one.
