Awaken spirits of East and of Air! 
After your long slumber the days grow longer once again. 
Your breath brings us the harbingers of spring, 
  the quiet whispers of thawing streams, 
   the morning call of birds in the yard, 
     the dawn of the new year. 
Spirits of Air, the Maiden Awakens! 
We invite you to our circle with your gifts of new beginnings, 
  inspiration, and far-seeing. 
Hail and Welcome. Blessed Be.

Rise up spirits of South and of Fire! 
Your embers are dark and long has your hearth been cold. 
As the days grow longer we see the sparks rise from the fire once again.
Your glow in the mid-day sky fills us with passion 
  and adds strength to our goals for the coming year. 
Spirits of Fire, the Light Returns! 
We invite you to our circle with your gifts of passion, 
  determination, and transformation. 
Hail and Welcome. Blessed Be.

Arouse spirits of West and of Water! 
After the cold winter months your water begins to flow 
  once more into the Mother's womb. 
The music of your movement brings us back to the present 
  from our long reverie and reminds us to take action. 
Spirits of Water, the Waves are Returning! 
We invite you to our circle with your gifts of calming, 
  dreaming, and healing. Hail and Welcome. 
Blessed Be.

Stand tall spirits of North and of Earth! 
Even as the bare branches of the forest stand cold 
  the waters begin to refresh the trees. 
The coldest time is yet to come, but hope stands tall 
  as the days grow longer and we begin to approach the dawn of the year. 
Spirits of Earth, the new Seeds are Planted! 
We invite you to our circle with your gifts of knowing, 
  grounding, and strength. 
Hail and Welcome. Blessed Be.
