To the Great Spirit -First in all things, Creator of all Life,Who was, and is, and will always be;Who, within the immensity of all creation,Is uniquely present here and now, in this moment.To the East -The quiet coming of the new dawn,The joyous breaking forth of Spring,The place of birth and rebirth and the beginning of life;
To the South -The high heat of noonday,The flowering warmth of SummerThe place of fertility and the fullness of life;
To the West -The quiet peace of evening,The changing colors of Fall,The place of harvest and the gathering of life;
To the North -The clear darkness of night,The deep cold of Winter,The place of death and purificationand the transformation of life;
To the Mother Earth -The ever constant Giver of Life,From whom all things draw sustenance;Who, in the greatness of her family,Offers blessing and freedom to each of her children;
To the Six Directions -Together making the oneness of God and Creation,We offer praise and thanksgiving,We ask these things:A heart open and made strong with love,A mind clear and made wise with understanding,A life lived with courage and compassionin the fulfillment of Divine Purpose.
