A Simple Circle
Walk the circle, or mark the boundary saying;
"I walk this circle once around, ;
to cleanse and consecrate this ground.
I walk this circle once again,
time and energy both shall bend.
I walk this circle thrice about to keep all negativity out.
Herein the boundary of the
Circle of Stones."
"Goddess Protect us
Naught but love shall enter in and
Naught but love shall emerge from within.
Charge this by Your powers, Old Ones,
and those whom we come from."
East;
"Hail and welcome powers of Air
Powers of freedom, perception and thought
Bless my rite and protect this circle."
South;
"Hail and welcome powers of Fire
Powers of love, healing and nature
Bless my rite and protect this circle."
West;
"Hail and welcome powers of Water
Powers of emotions, feelings, and dreams
Bless my rite and protect this circle."
North;
"Hail and welcome powers of the Earth
Powers of stability, security and fertility
Bless my rite and protect this circle."
"This circle is bound,
With power all around.
Between the worlds,
I stand,
With protection at every hand."
When You close the circle.
Conduct the above in the reverse order,
thank the elements the old ones,
and those who have gone before.
