Welcome to the Fire

Sacred Space Prayer

To the winds of the South

Mother of the Waters Great Serpent

Wrap your coils of light around us

First Healer First Shedding

You who break the skin of who we have been

you who teach us to leave the past in the dust of our own becoming

Breath of Life moving through blood and root

you who dive where no light reaches

who know the deep ways the hidden ways the inner ways

You who move belly to Earth who remember the path back to the Sacred Garden the place before the wound before forgetting

We call you

We feel you moving

Shed us clean

Show us your peaceful beauty ways

Aho. Blessed Be.

To the winds of the West

Mother Sister Jaguar

Night walker shadow seer bridge crosser

You who walk the rainbow path into the great mystery

You who swallow the dying sun without fear

teaching us to die before we die

to walk through terror with open eyes

Green fire of the jungle

luminous one who devours illusion

You who carry life and death in the same breath who walk with no enemy who answer to no fear

We call you

Come stalk our medicine space

Walk with us through the dark

Teach us to walk softly in grace and impeccability

Aho. Blessed Be.

To the winds of the North Apus Ancient Ones Old Ones Bone Keepers all who have come before us and all who will come after us.

Grandmothers Grandfathers beyond time You who have walked the sacred path

and now sit at the sacred fire of great remembering

You who slip through the veil to whisper the old ways back into our bones And Hummingbird

small fierce heart drinker of nectar

you who cross impossible distances

who do what cannot be done who move by devotion alone

We call you

Remember us into ourselves

Aho. Blessed Be.

To the winds of the East

Great Eagle Great Condor

Winged Ones of the rising light

You who carry vision across the sky

who see what we have forgotten to see

You who open the eye of the heart

who lift us beyond the small self

You who push us from the edge

from the nest from the known

so we may fall

so we may fly wing tip to wing tip with great spirit

so we may remember the sky as our home

We call you

Lift our sight Open our wings

Aho. Blessed Be.

To the Great Mother and all our relations

Pachamama Earth beneath all things

We press our bodies to you

We thank you

We remember

To the stone people

the plant people

the two-legged the four-legged

The furred the winged ones the crawlers

the seen and the unseen

all our relations

We come in humility and honor you

We come in gratitude

We come in love

Aho. Blessed Be.

To Father Sky Grandmother Moon

Great star Nations without number

Breath of wind great mystery

all that is known and unknowable

the spoken the unspoken

the heard the unheard

the dreamed and the not yet dreamed

I stand here

I breathe here

I give thanks to walk to feel to burn to live

one more day in this body

one more turn in this great dance

Aho. Blessed Be.

We call in all directions great spirit

We call in Earth below and Sky above

We call in the fire within

and the fire before us

May all who enter here be witnessed

May all that is ready to fall away fall

May all that is true remain

The fire is lit

The space is alive

You are seen

You are held

You are welcome

Aho. Blessed Be.
