Creating the Sacred Center

-- by Kirk S. Thomas and Arlene Davis

 The Outdwellers

Mighty spirits, dark or light,
You who care not for our way,
Outdwellers! We know your might,
Your forbearance we'll repay!

Holy ground where you can play,
We do now establish here.
Have some fun and don't dismay,
Stick around and have a beer!

 The Well

Sacred waters 'neath our feet,
Unformed powers of the deep,
Fountain upwards now to fill us,
Sacred Well, flow within us!

 The Fire

Sacred Fire, light of the Heavens
Holy power of Transformation,
Create Order out of Chaos.
Sacred Fire, burn within us!

 The Tree

Sacred Tree that joins together
Powers of chaos and of order,
Grant us wisdom, strong and ageless.
Sacred Tree, grow within us!

 The Gatekeeper

Irish Pantheon
Gatekeeper, we ask in reference,
Open now the Sacred Boundary.
Manannan mac Lir, come to us;
Ward us as we walk in safety!

Welsh Pantheon
Gatekeeper, we ask in reference,
Open now the Sacred Boundary.
Manawydan, Lord, come to us;
Ward us as we walk in safety!

Gaulish Pantheon
Gatekeeper, we ask in reference,
Open now the Sacred Boundary.
Lord Cernunnos, please, come to us;
Ward us as we walk in safety
