oh you the God of earth and sun
let my will be ever done
and Goddess of the moon and sea
ensure that ______ travel safely.
protect them as they are away
so that they may return someday
and on their journey here and there
let love and kindness follow them everywhere
keep them safe from any harm
hold their spirit in your arms
so that they may return to reclaim this token
upon these words I have spoken.
harm done to none, is as I see
This is my will, so mote it be.
(Place token of person traveling on altar. Surround the altar with a red triple knotted cord of protection. Light a red candle.)

Safety


Because there is good,
we know there is evil
for they are of the same source of living.
But because there is evil does not mean
that there must be harm.
I ask that those that do not know
the wisdom of light in the God
or the wonders of love in the Goddess
or the joys of life in the Child
not be allowed to harm,
but instead be shown these truths.

Rain

 


O Great Sun,
we ask but for a short time
that you hide your face from us
and bring forth a veil of clouds.
O Great Mother Earth,
we ask that you bring forth from those clouds
the life giving water that we call rain
so that life may grow
and all may drink in your splendor.

Tarot Evocation

 

Tarot Evocation
And now this work shall see an end,
let no harm from it append.
All energies here to good I send
and let these truths neither harm nor offend.
