A Wiccan Bible - Exploring the Mysteries of the Craft from Birth to Summerland

Liber ab Nomen (Book of Name)^33

Facing East

‘Before me I see my breath. Thee who has been called in times of old the White

King, Shu, Duamutef, Neith, Indra, Long, Chung, Jikoku, Raphael, Eurus,

Vulturnus, Dragon, and Eagle.

Before me do I see Jotunheimr and before me do I see Air. May that which fills

my lungs with the breath of life breath life into this rite.’

Facing South

‘Before me I see my spirit. Thee who has been called in times of old the Blue

King, Nut, Imset, Isis, Yama, Feng-huang, Hung, Komoku, Michael, Notus,

Auster, Phoenix, and Elk.’

Before me do I see Muspellsheimr and before me do I see Fire. May that which

fills my spirit with flames bring fire into the spirit of this rite.’

Facing West

‘Before me I see my blood. Thee who has been called in times of old the Red

King, Tefnut, Kebechsenef, Selkhet, Varuna, Ch’i-lin, Hai, Zocho, Gabriel,

Zephyrus, Favonius, Unicorn, and Bear.

Before me do I see Vanaheimr and before me do I see Water. May that which

flows as the blood of the Earth flow in the heart of this rite.’

Facing North

‘Before me I see my body. Thee who has been called in time of old the Green

King, Geb, Hapi, Nephthys, Kubera, Gui Xian, Shou, Bishamon, Auriel, Boreas,

Aquilo, Turtle, and Wolf.

Before me do I see Niflheimr and before me do I see the firmament of Earth and

ice. May that which is firm be to this rite as body that we may stand proud in our

rite.’

Invitation to our Lord and Lady

The invitation to our Lord and Lady is a positive affirmation that Wiccans do not

see male superior to female or female superior to male. As with all words given here,

the following is just an example. Your words should come from your heart and be

applicable to the rite itself.

Here do I invoke to aid my goal

My father above and Mother below

Here do I invoke to bless this rite

Our Lord and Lady upon this night
