Celebrate The Circle Yule Quarter Calls - MoonDance - December 21, 1997

>From the East, comes the Air,
The howling Air which drives the cold through the cracks.  
The silent Air which tosses and turns the snow flurries as they fall.   
East, 
Air,
We welcome you to our circle on this sacred night.
<Light candle> 
Blessed Be.


>From the South, comes the Fire.
The crackling Fire which glows warm in our hearths and in our hearts.
The raging Fire which burns in the distant brightness of the Sun.
South, 
Fire,
We welcome you to our circle on this sacred night.
<Light candle>
Blessed Be.


>From the West, comes the Water.
The thawing Water which drips rhythmically from melting icicles.
The frozen Water which blankets the Earth in a mantle of white snow.
West, 
Water,
We welcome you to our circle on this sacred night.
<Light candle>
Blessed Be.


>From the North, comes the Earth.
The sleeping Earth within which much of life waits to be reborn.
The living Earth which even now shows her colors, evergreen. 
North, 
Earth,
We welcome you to our circle on this sacred night.
<Light candle>
Blessed be.
