Silver asked that we write down our quarter call for at least one direction.
"Hail to the Guardians of the Watchtowers of the North, rulers of strength and wisdom, I call you from your ancient Hearth to witness and to guard me in my art. By name I implore, Gnomes! Lend your might tonight!"
I don't use the same call for each circumstance, that is the call I would use if I performed a circle cast tonight. The next assignment as I use Watchtowers is to find or draw what they look like to me. Introduce myself to them in meditation then practice my new quarter call.
To me the Watchtower is a physical structure, like the rook in chess, or a medieval looking lighthouse. It is staffed by an individual spirit, the Guardian of the Watchtower is a spirit mentor or guardian that I have worked with in meditation and named to the task. This Guardian lights the Watch-fire and summons the actual elemental on my behalf. Which is why I have candles in the Quarters of my circle.
When each Watch-fire is lit, a wall travels to the next forming a wall along the outside of the circle.
That's a really good quarter call. I know people use different association with the directions and I've never been able to stray from the old north air south earth west water east fire. I also use elementals in my quarters calls
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it. I understand sticking with what you know. To me its about what works for you or what feels right to the way you practice and your relationship divine.
