Aspect of the ALL
We thank You for the plants and greenery of this little blue world.
And the apples are still good.
Ancient Element of Fire of the Celts and Norse -
We thank You for all the gifts and benefits Fire has brought humanity.
Fire is Our friend - it can - as can all the elements - be also Our enemy.
Fire can cook our meals and warm Our hearths.
Fire can also burn Our forrests, grasslands and homes.
Ancient Element of Water of the Celts and Norse -
We thank You for all the gifts and benefits Water has brought humanity.
Water is Our friend - it can - as can all the elements - be also Our enemy.
Water can fill Our lakes, rivers and water storage reservoirs.
Water can also flood Our cities and homes and let slide Our homes off the
hillsides in which they so perilously perch.
Ancient Element of Air -
Without You We could not breathe -
We would have nothing to breathe -
We thank You for Your gift of the Breath of Life.
Air is Our friend - it can - as can all the elements - be also Our enemy.
Air gives us the Breath of Life.
Air can also - in great storms - blow down Our cities and homes.
Ancient Element of Earth -
Without You We have no ground upon which to live.
Earth is Our friend - it can - as can all the elements - be also Our enemy.
Earth gives us Our ground to live upon.
Earth also takes away that ground in slides and earthquakes.
Fire and Water -
Ancient Elements of the Celts and Norse -
Fire and Water -
Air and Earth -
Ancient Primal Elements of the ALL -
You are seen as both Friend and Enemy to humanity.
You are neither Friend Nor Enemy to humanity.
You are Basic, Primal Elements.
So very often We forget that.
You never let us forget We are but humble mortals upon this lovely little blue world.
We thank You for Your offerings, lessons, reminders and teachings.
We thank You for Blessing this Working - as well as this day..

May We now conclude this Working with Love, Learning, Peace,
Sharing and Understanding.
Go now in Love for Your fellow inhabits of this tiny blue world.
Love Your friends and Your lovers - IF you have any.
Love your cats and dogs.
Yes - love even - IF you can - Your neighbor.
Go now in Learning - and Learn something.
Keep Your mind alive.
Keep it growing and seeking and searching.
Go now in Peace - and help to keep the Peace.
Do not start the Fight - IF there is a Fight - but do not be afraid - IF needed - to finish it….
Go now in Understanding that We need not all be of the same faith or belief.
It it all the same to the ALL. Whether We be Pagan, Protestant, Druid,
Catholic, Jewish, Taoist, Shinto, Shaman, Wiccan, Chaotic, BardicMagus or even
Eclectic Whatever. - we are all family.
We are All of Us Children of the ALL.
Go now in Sharing - and take these humble and inadequate words with You.
For it is in the Sharing that We are Mystic Witch.
Remember always -
Be Careful & Cautious out there.
Stay Safe and Secure out there.
Let Your Guides and Guardians Serve, Preserve, Protect & Defend
You out there.
Let the Lord and Lady -
{or personal preference Deity & Divinityof Your choice} -
Bless You and Keep You -
May Their Lights Shine forever about You -
and give you their Peace until next We meet here again.
As it was - it was.
As it is - it is.
As it will be - it will be.
So thus it was -
So thus it is -
So thus it be.
So Mote It Be
Blessings Be.
