Calling Helpful Spirits to an Area

Calling Helpful Spirits to an Area: Thursday | Color of the day: White | Incense of the day: Clove | Native cultures have long held the notion of spirit and ancestral summoning in high esteem. If there's an area that you feel could benefit from the aid of good spirits, a ceremony such as this can help. At daybreak, go to the area you wish to consecrate or dedicate to the spirits and ancestors. This can be a house, a room, an area of land, a ritual space, or another sacred area. Offer a bit of pure tobacco to the spirits by placing it on the ground or in the four directions. Light a bundle of sweet grass and say the following in the form of a song--just create your own tune! | Spirits of Air, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall it | be . . . | Spirits of Fire, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall it be . . . | Spirits of Water, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall it | be . . . | | Spirits of Earth, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall | it be . . . | Spirits of Sky, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall | it be . . . | Spirits of Land, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall | it be . . . | Spirits of Space, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall | it be . . . | Spirits of Time, come to me . . . | bless this place, so shall | it be. |
