Quarter Calls adapted from the writing of Diann Neu Oh Great Spirit of the North, we come to you and ask for the strength and the power to bear what is cold and harsh in life. We come like the buffalo ready to recieve the winds that can be overwhelming at times. Whatever is cold and uncertain in our life, we ask you to give us the strength to bear it. Oh Spirit of North, we ask you for strength and warmth. Oh Great Spirit of East, we turn to you where the sun comes up, from where the power of light emerges. Everything that is born comes from the East - new beginnings, new ideas, the new day. Let there be the light. Oh Spirit of East, let the color of fresh rising in our life be glory to you. Oh Great Spirit of South, spirit of all that is warm and gentle and refreshing, we ask you to give us this spirit of growth, of fertility, of gentleness. Caress us with a cool breeze when the days are hot. Give us seeds that the flowers, trees and fruits of the earth may grow. Give us the warmth of good friendships. Oh Spirit of the South, send the warmth and the growth of your blessings. Oh Great Spirit of West, we turn to you in praise of sunsets and in thanksgiving for changes. You are the beautiful sunsets of the red west which illuminates us. You are the powerful cycle which pulls us to transformation. Oh Spirit of the West, we ask for the blessings of the sunset. Keep us open to life's changes.
