Hail, forces of the East, powers of Air.
Golden eagle of the dawn,
Rising sun, come.
By the air that is His breath,
Send forth Your light; be here now.
Hail, forces of the South, powers of Fire.
Red lion of the noon heat,
Sparks of life, come.
By the fire that is His spirit,
Send forth Your flame; be here now.
Hail, forces of the West, powers of Water.
Blue dolphin of dusk,
Ocean waves, come.
By the waters of Her living womb,
Send forth Your flow; be here now.
Hail, forces of the North, powers of Earth.
Black bull of midnight,
Fertile field, come.
By the earth that is Her body,
Send forth Your strength; be here now.
From cave and desert, sea and hill,
By incense, blade, cup, and pentacle,
All hail the Four Quarters!
