I turn to the East:
The realm of Air,
Where Swords cut through to truth.
Here, the Fool walks toward the precipice,
Ready to begin his journey.
Welcome East, Winds of Knowledge!
Blessed be!
I invoke the South:
The realm of Fire,
Where Wands direct the action.
Here, the Lady of Strength shows her courage,
Standing strong in her passions.
Welcome South, Fire of Action!
Blessed be!
I embrace the West:
The realm of Water,
Where Cups hold the deepest emotions.
Here, Temperance brings balance
And welcomes me to give way to the flow.
Welcome West, Waters of Emotion!
Blessed be!
I ground in the North:
The realm of Earth,
Where Pentacles bring all the riches I need to grow.
Here, The Empress blooms forth,
Surrounded by the lush abundance of the Mother.
Welcome North, Cornerstone of Growth!
Blessed be!
In the Center, I stand in the Spirit.
Above and below, within and without.
Here, the Magician guides the power of the elements
And the High Priestess holds the mysteries unseen.
And all the cards themselves reflect only a semblance
Of all the wonder and power that life holds.
Welcome Center,
All that is, all that was, and all that will be!
Blessed be!
