Invocation to the East Wind
Breathe in!
Breathe in the wind of the East,
Piercing and clear,
Eye-opening breeze that comes
With the light of the rising sun,
Wind of voices that sing and chant,
Wind of voices that speak to our souls,
Talking wind that carries our words
To far corners of the world,
Wind of spring, wind that lifts the scent
Of the opening earth out of the chill snow,
Playful wind that teases the edge
Of our consciousness,
Sing to us!
Breathe in
And clear your mind.
Chant:
Eurus Eurus Breath of the East
Clarity Clarity
Song: Wind's Four Quarters
(Wind chimes and bells are rung. Wine is poured as a libation. All process outside and release
messages on small curls of paper into the east wind.)
