Lady Victoria Eclectic Pagan's blog: "Summer Solstice"

Now this day, my Sun Father, Now that you have come out standing To your sacred place. That from which we draw the water of life Prayer meal – Here I give unto you Your long life, Your old age, Your waters, Your seeds, Your riches, Your power, Your strong spirit. Of all these, to me may you grant.

The following is part of what I plan in a solitary ritual at dawn to welcome Summer... O Great Spirit of the East, Radiance of the rising Sun, Spirit of new beginnings, O Grandfather Fire – of the Sun Power of life-energy, vital spark, Power to see far, and to Imagine with boldness. Power to purify our senses, Our hearts and our minds. We pray that we may be aligned with You, So that your powers may flow through us, And be expressed by us, For the good of this Earth, And all living beings upon it. O Great Spirit of the West, Spirit of the Great Waters, Of rain, rivers, lakes and springs, O Grandmother Ocean, Deep matrix, womb of all life. Power to dissolve all boundaries, To release holdings, Power to taste and to feel, To cleanse and to heal, Great blissful darkness of peace. We pray that we may be aligned with You, So that your powers may flow through us, And be expressed by us, For the good of this Earth, And all living beings upon it. O Great Spirit of the North, Invisible spirit of the Air, And of the fresh, cool winds, O vast and boundless Grandfather Sky, Your living breath animates all life. Yours is the power of clarity and strength, Power to hear the inner sounds, To sweep out old patterns, And to bring change and challenge, The ecstasy of movement and the dance. We pray that we may be aligned with You, So that your powers may flow through us, And be expressed by us, For the good of this Earth, And all living beings upon it. O Great Spirit of the South, Protector of the fruitful land, And of all green and growing things, The noble trees and grasses, Grandmother Earth, Soul of Nature. Great power of the receptive, Of nurturance and endurance, Power to grow and bring forth Flowers of the field Fruits of the garden. We pray that we may be aligned with You, So that your powers may flow through us, And be expressed by us, For the good of this Earth, And all living beings upon it.
