We come together now as a community.
Although miles apart,
We are together in this time.
You are invited to have a candle to kindle.
But all you really need to bring into this circle is an open heart,
An open mind,
And love for all,
Especially yourself.
Join with me now as we raise our cone of power.
Take a deep breath in and release it slowly.
Feel yourself rooting into the energy of the earth.
Feel yourself rooting into the energy of the earth.
Feel yourself rooting into the earth and drawing in energy from the core of the earth.
The energy flows up through the mantle of the earth and into your feet,
Traveling up and up and up until it reaches your crown chakra.
Take another deep breath and release it slowly.
Rub your hands together and on the count of three,
We're going to throw that energy straight up.
One,
Two,
Three.
So might it be.
Here at last,
Our circle is cast with light upon the ground.
We call upon the elements to guide our magic all around.
God and goddess,
Bless us and our right to guide us and give to all insight I call you now,
Attend to me.
This is my will,
So might it be.
Watchtowers of the east,
Spirits of air,
I do summon,
Stir,
And call you up to witness these rites and guard this circle,
And I bid you hail and welcome.
Watchtowers of the south,
Spirits of fire,
I do summon,
Stir,
And call you up to witness these rites and guard this circle,
And I bid you hail and welcome.
Watchtowers of the west,
Spirits of water,
I do summon,
Stir,
And call you up to witness these rites and guard this circle,
And I bid you hail and welcome.
Watchtowers of the north,

Stir,
And call you up to witness these rites and guard this circle,
And I bid you hail and welcome.
Mother moon,
Provider of life itself,
Protector of the Wicca,
Father sun,
Lord of all that's wild and free,
We ask that you attend our circle and bless our rites.
Hail and welcome.
May the stars above and the earth below bless this place and time.
May we all be gathered here in perfect love and perfect trust.
We consecrate one another in the names of the God and the Goddess,
Bidding us welcome into this,
Their temple.
So mode it be.
Blessed be everyone as we begin this short,
Lethal circle.
As with all Sabbaths and every turn of the wheel of the year,
Letha is a time of renewal.
The bright sun that disappeared at Yule comes back to us fully on this day of the summer solstice.
This is the longest day and the shortest night of the year.
Take a few moments to consider how you welcome light into your life.
If you have a candle that you would like to kindle,
I invite you to do so now.
Blessed sun of power and might,
On this day you shine so bright.
May I be a reflection of that light.
May I be a powerful,
Healing energy to both myself and those I see.
Brightness I receive and brightness I give.
By the sun's light all things on earth live.
So mode it be.
Now I invite you to take a moment to call to mind what you are feeling at this seasonal shift.
Take a few deep breaths and be mindful.
Allow your neck and shoulders to soften.
As you release any tension your body might be storing.
Bright as the sun as it returns to us,
We feel its vital light.
This is another reminder for us that darkness always lives and light constantly returns.
I invite you to spend some time today sharing your radiant light with others and yourself.
Blessed be.
Earth has now emerged from the cover of snow.
Upon the ground plants now grow.
The sun's warm kiss we once again know.
Earth has emerged from the cover of snow.
Earth has emerged from the cover of snow.
