Midsummer Ritual, calling of quarters by Terra, performed on June 23,
1996, on a waxing moon.

1.      Silent Tarot Opening

2.      For those who seek the Ancient Ways
        The Wheel hath turned and lengthened days
        And Time hath come and given reason
        To celebrate Midsummer Season.
        The gods bless forest, field, and stream
        With skies of blue and trees of green.

        Longer days to gladden lives
        With summer sun and cloudless skies
        Colors vibrant in glorious flower
        Rejoice in this, Demeter's hour.

3.      Call now the east, the air is clear
        And summer magick is everywhere.

        Call now the south with summer's fire
        Infuse all creatures with life's desire.

        Call now the water from the west
        To nourish crops, Demeter's best.

        Call now the north, the element earth
        That grows the wood for home and hearth.

4.      Into this circle welcome god and goddess
        This home and all that dwell within do bless.
        A waxing moon doth fortune bring
        The air doth hum and magick sings.
        Lend joy to this ritual and blessed be
        And by my word, so mote it be.
