These prayers can be used to invoke the Goddess and God during
ritual, just after the circle casting.  Of course, any which you compose
or are inspired to say and be used as well.
     A few chants are also included to raise energy or to commune with
the deities.
     Some of these invocations rhyme, and some do not.  But recall the
power of rhyme - it link our conscious mind to the unconscious or
psychic mind, thereby producing ritual consciousness.
     Some of these are related to specific deities but, as Dion Fortune
wrote: "All the gods are one god; and all the goddesses are one goddess,
and there is only one initiator."

INVOCATION TO THE GODDESS
 
Crescent One of the starry skies, Flowered One of the fertile plan,
Flowing One of the ocean's sighs,
Blessed One of the gentle rain;
Hear my chant 'midst the standing stones,
Open me to your mystic light;
Waken me to your silver tones,
Be with me in my sacred rite!

*******************************************************************

CALL TO THE GOD
 
Ancient God of the forest deeps,
Master of beast and Sun;
Here where the world is hushed and sleeps
Now that the day is done.
I call You in the ancient way
Here in my circle round,
Asking that You will hear me pray
And send Your Sun force down.

INVOCATION TO THE GODDESS
 
Gracious Goddess,
You who are the Queen of the Gods,
The lamp of night,
the creator of all that is wild and free;
Mother of woman and man;
Lover of the Horned God and protectress of all the Craft:
Descend, I pray,
With Your Lunar ray of power
Upon my circle here!

INVOCATION TO THE GOD

Blazing God,
You who are the King of the Gods,
Lord of the Sun,
Master of all that is wild and free;
Father of woman and man,
Lover of the Moon Goddess and protector of all the Craft:
Descend I pray,
With you Solar ray of power
Upon my circle here!
