Calling on the Elements

Cast a circle. Then do, and say the following. Turn to the east and say: "Watch towers of the East, gaurdians of air, I ask you to join our circle. Hail and welcome." Turn to the south and say: "Watch towers of the west, guardians of fire, I ask you to join our circle. Hail and welcome." Turn to the west and say: "Watch towers of the west, guardians of water, I ask you to join our circle. Hail and welcome." Turn finally to the north and say:"Watch towers of the north, guardians of earth, we ask you to join our circle. Hail and welcome."

To send them away, turn to where you stopped, which is North, and say "Watch towers of the north, guardians of earth, thank you for joining us, go if you will, but stay if you must. Hail and farewell. Say the same things but change them according to the element and direction. So to open go clockwise, to close, counter clockwise.
