The Blessing of the Elements: A spell to invoke the power of the elements into your everyday life

The invocation of the elements is one of the most ancient forms of magic  with the intention to bestow to the witch/wizard/shaman/druid (insert what suits you best) the ualities of the forces of  nature that has been seen to reside inside physical phenomena phenomena and ob!ects" #or e$ample the light and the warmth of the flame% the tranuility and calmness of water or the powerful ualities of a raging

storm"

The elements have been seen as an e$pression of the divine in the physical world and the invocation of the elements became very popular in the &iccan community through the ritual of  the 'ircle" A ritual which intends to invoke the protection and the blessing of the elements from

each cardinal direction% purify the working ground of the witch and help him/her focus their power"

Even though there is power in ritual% this spell/prayer intends to be simple and practical% invoking the uniue abilities of the elements into your everyday life" The spell that we are going to see is not a creation of my own nor it has solely pagan roots,  on the contrary is an adaptation of a 'hristian prayer which is attributed to t atrick% patron saint of *reland" *t is one more reminder

thatthe Old Ways reside into Christianity and every attempt to silence this +ld and &ise voices have failed as they live% ever burning% into the spirit and heart of human beings"
