Song of Circle Casting

[Starting in the Center, then walking]
This ae night, this ae night, Every night and all;
Power and might of dark and light, Come answer to our call.

[East (Air)]
Queen Above, Below as well, Every night and all;
Listen as we strike your bell, Come answer to our call.

[Walking to South]
Silver Huntress of the night, Every night and all;
Put the evil ones to flight, Come answer to our call.

[South (Fire)]
Lord of Lust, warrior fell, Every night and all;
Lend Your aid unto the spell, Come answer to our call.

[Walking to West]
Golden Starlord of the Flame, Every night and all;
Your children from You warding claim, Come answer to our call.

[West (Water)]
Ancestors beneath the seas, Every night and all;
Guard your sacred mysteries, Come answer to our call.

[Walking to North]
Ye who to the Gods are bound, Every night and all;
Make the circle strong and sound, Come answer to our call.

[North (Earth)]
Midnight sun and midday moon, Every night and all;
Harken to the ancient tune, Come answer to our call.

[Walking to East]
East and South, then West and North, Every night and all;
Your people sing to call ye forth, Come answer to our call.

[Turning in the Center]
By fertile Earth, blue Water fair, Every night and all;
By rushing Fire, and whirling Air, Come answer to our call.
By Your sacred names revealed, Every night and all;
Your circle now is cast and sealed, Come answer to our call.
