A Morning Invocation

This is a beautiful invocation that I recently found.

A Morning Invocation © 1996 Susan Reed

I greet you, Powers of Air!

Clarify my thoughts; hold me to the Truth;

Awaken the Powers of Air within me that I, with my thoughts, honor the Gods.

I greet you, Powers of Fire!

Energize my work; empower me to meet my challenges;

Awaken the Powers of Fire within me that I, with my deeds, honor the Gods.

I greet you, Powers of Water!

Nourish me with Universal Love; wash away my failings;

Awaken the Powers of Water within me that I, with my feelings, honor the Gods.

I greet you, Powers of Earth!

Stabilize my life; strengthen me with the wisdom of the ages;

Awaken the Powers of Earth within me that I, with my senses, honor the Gods.

I greet you, Powers of Spirit!

Integrate my abilities; consecrate my service;

Awaken the Powers of Spirit within me that I, with my life, honor the Gods.

Susan has put together a brilliant essay titled 'An Introduction to Modern Druid Groups' http://www.nachtanz.org/SReed/mod_druids1.html This is quite a lengthy read but well worth it if you are thinking about signing up with any of the popular druid organisations. She has taken a lot of the leg work out by comparing all the main questions that newcomers tend to have. Well that will do for now. I have a horrible cold at the moment and it's way past my bedtime.
