Having called the quarters, it is now time to invoke (entice is probably a more accurate way of putting it!) the lord and lady. It’s a good idea to write your own invitation, the originality will undoubtedly be appreciated. This will give you a starting point however.
Stand in the center of the circle and open your arms wide. Start by invoking the goddess saying:
O Goddess of Moon, Goddess of Star
Ruler of planets both near and far.
Ruler of earth and all that’s within,
Who sets time for life to begin.
Bringer of happiness, bringer of mirth,
Giver of value, giver of worth.
Descend to us now from above
And touch this Circle, fill it with love,
Join us now in this scared rite,
O Goddess, please bring your love and light.
At this point, pause and wait for a few seconds. Sometimes there will be a flicker of light, sometimes a breath of a breeze. Don’t worry if you don’t see or feel anything. The lady’s presence will become known to you even if all you feel is a tingle in your body.
Now it is time to invoke the lord in the same way.
O Lord of all places wild and free
Sower of seed that we might be.
he who is Sun in the heavens above,
Giver of light, giver of love.
Bringer of health and prosperity,
Who changes all as it should be.
Descend to us now from above
And touch this Circle, fill it with love,
Join us now in this scared rite,
O Lord, please bring your love and light.
Again, wait a few moments.
