Opening Ceremonies - Invocation

I call on the woods, winds, and waters;
I call on the sun, moon, and stars;
I call on the majik that flows through them all
and through all of us.

May a way be opened to that realm that is of both internet and spirit in nature, where we can gather to be in one place and one time even though we are scattered across the Earth, and build together in a starlit forest the home of the Shining Hearth.

A hearth:
For those of mythic heart
Fae-born, Elf-souled, from Otherworld,
Of dragons' power, angels' grace,
Chimaeric beasts of eld,
Shifting folk of fur and tail,
Spirits of the living Green,
Of shadows or celestial light,
Tribe of Danu, Aes Sidhe--

A hearth:
For those who walk 'midst humankind
Oft times unseen, sometimes ill used,
Who know they are of Other kind;
And for such friends as they may choose--

A hearth:
Where may enchanted mead be drunk
In sparkling light of Under-Hill
And peace beneath the stars be found
For those who enter with good will.

Shine forth the ancient Dreaming of the Earth!
Be lit the hearth!

Hearthfire, homefire,
Brightfire, Greenfire,
Whitefire, Nightfire,
Purefire, Flame!
Goldfire, Moonfire,
Truefire, Eldfire,
Dreamfire, Starfire
Faefire, Flame!

May we all see and feel the rainbow flames of the Hearth shining upon us this weekend!
