Radient beam of life and death,

and still maintain our goals

and not get lost in the beautiful whirl of chaos.

Space:

I call upon the spirit of space

silver light of the ether

Blackness of the void, that which is abys.

Of all beings in creation that which is the in-between,

the energy, that binds us all together.

True freedom forever engulfing our soul.

Help us to escape these cages and drift out of time, into space

into astral planes, with the light of the moon.

Be with us.

Time:

I call upon the spirit of time

the etheric golden wheel of movement, change, and messurement.

Give us wisdom of the ages and

the knowledge to bend around time

and concepts to suit our purposes

May the light of the sun guide us.

Be with us

Light

I call upon the spirit of light

the etheric virtuous becaons of life and wisdom

Upon the bright side of the moon

and the rising sun, shinning compassion on our brows.

I seek out the protection and clarity within myself

and the universe.

Help us to remember the balance of the yin and yang

as there is no light without darkness

but we will walk the path of light when we must.

May the light not blind us but guide us to enlightenment.

Be with us

Darkness

I call upon the spirit of darkness

black etheric shadow of mystery and death,

secrecy upon the dark side of the moon and the setting sun

I seek out the shadows that have eluded us

and engraved the mysteries of eternity within our hearts

I seek out the ptotection and understanding within myself

and the universe to have the power to destroy,

the indepenedence of thought.

Help us to remember the balance of the yin and yang

as there is no darkness without light

and to live and walk with the darkness when we must.

May the shadows not blind us but guide us into self fullfillment.

And for the 13th

We keep the faith until

the sky falls upon us and crushes us

Until the earth opens and swallows us

Until the Seas arise and overwealm us

Until the land is burnt to ash

By the Plains of the living spirits

in the center of all,

From Umhala

By the Fifth and the Thirteenth

By the Spirit of all things

Ire, Akasha, Ire, Akasha

We call you forth, Theot se!

Akasha, Spirit, watch over me

I am your child so mote it be
