Invocation To Demeter:

Demeter, Lady of fruits and grains,

Of ripening suns and harvest rains,

I call to you, Mother, to hear my plea--

Bestow Your blessings here on me.

Goddess, who searches in places wild,

To bring home safely Her stolen child,

Who changes the summer's greens to gold,

And causes the cycle of life to unfold,

Beautiful Lady, whose love runs deep,

Who banishes growth during Winter's sleep,

And causes the seeds to stir in Spring,

Attend my circle and blessings bring!
