I invoke thee, o Lord and Lady. I invite you to attend and bless us. Our Circle is cast. (Light Silver & Gold Candles. You may wish to place these candles in a yule log)
On this, the longest winter night, we honor the rest only darkness can bring. We welcome the crone, in her wisdom, as we enter the time our land sleeps in its darkened promise.
For hail and well met, the Sun is reborn this night and brings the birth of new beginnings.
What beginnings do you wish to manifest in your life? The Suns rebirth brings transformation into our lives. Think about how your life can transform from the darkness...into the light.
Each of you, call your spirit guide. Join us and witness and guide us to new beginnings and growth in the coming seasons.
<Each call our guides>
I call the dragonfly whose power is in transformation. Help me to dig deeper into myself and reveal the emotions that lay dormant. I welcome your power of change as I adapt and form into a better version of myself.
If you do not know your guide, as that your guide attend you and reveal themselves.
As we chase away the darkness so to I ask our troubles to go with the darkness. For with renewed light we have renewed life.
