For Protection and Peace


Ground, Center, Cast the Circle

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East, Powers of Air.
Here stands one in need of protection of the mind.
Let the light of dawn surround me in safety,
Let the Aspen tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the eastern wind hid me in the palm of its hand,
hat I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the South, Powers of Fire.
Here stands one in need of protection of the spirit.
Let the noon light surround me in safety,
Let the Almond tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the southern wind flow around me to protect me,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the West, Powers of Water.
Here stands one in need of protection of His/Her emotions.
Let the dusk of twilight shroud me in protection,
Let the Willow tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the western wind shroud me from all evil,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the North, Powers of Earth.
Here stands one in need of protection of his/her body.
Let the dark of midnight shroud me in protection,
Let the Oak tree ground me to Mother Earth,
Let the northern wind keep me from all harm,
That I may grow in goodness and light, in the service of the Mother.

Hear me, oh guardians of the elements and quarters.
I stand, a child of the universe,
Beset on all sides by those who wish me evil.
I ask not that you change them, for their will is their own,
But grant me strength, that I may shine in the light
Growing in goodness in the service of Mankind and Mother Earth.
