We call forth the Dagda; God of the rolling hillsides! Fill our cauldrons with bounty, let them never be empty.
Fill cauldron with liquid..
We call forth Pele, Goddess of the roaring flames! Bless us with your wisdom and your strength and energy.
Light the liquid..
We bid farewell to the bright summer days and warm night on the shores. The celebration of our midsummer fires we will see next year. The last harvest is gathered and stored for the dark months ahead.
Death is life, and in life there is death and the wheel is ever turning.
