Invocation to the South Wind

Breathe in!
Breathe in the Wind of the South.
Hot and burning,
Summer's messenger on fiery wings,
Rush of noonday heat,
Dance of the warrior
And the people's joy,
Wind that blows our scant clothing,
Wind that lifts our spirits,
And our feet,
Leaping wind that carries us
To new heights of joy,
Wild wind of summertime that lifts the scent
Of blooming flowers in the green fields,
Dance with us!
Breathe in
And rejuvenate your spirit.

Chant:
Auster Auster Breath of the South
Feed our will

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 south wind.)
