Supplications for Elemental Travellers.
Poetry reading for Solstice & Union by Shiloh Sophia
A poem written as a prayer from my heart, for the elements to the Creator and a blessing of sacred union of my dear friend and her beloved on their wedding day. You’re invited to receive this as a blessing you need at this time from my heart to yours…
Supplications for Elemental Travellers
Part One : Calling the Circle
Ancestors
Keepers of the ancient wisdoms and lands
Teach us to remember where we live and who we are
Directions
North, South, East, West, between, above, below
The compass of compassion shows the way to go
Water
Shimmer of water on trembling surface
Shimmer us with your soft diamond veils
Earth
Flowering moss salt of earthen forms
Flavor us with your sultry crystal shine
Fire
The sky traveller’s story is illuminated in firelight
Waywardness and weariness give way to warmth
Air
Winged blessing of angel breathing air
Cleanse our vast holdings to ancient fears
Beneath
Mysterious roots of the underground terrains
May we attend evening supper in your luminous abyss?
Above
Soaring heights of swirling stardust twinkle
Will you array our cosmic address in such raiment?
Center
Inside the folded spiral of the thresholded rose
We lovers are surrounded by the awareness of belonging
Diameter
The visible invisible paradox is viewable from here
Rubbing hips with the beloved boundaries and edges
Source
Designer of all that has form, fragrance, firmament
Your never-ending intimacy embraces and expands us
Human
We have travelled here from afar off to inhabit form
Our bodies are temples for spirit to move in matrixed motion
Sacred Assignment
Interconnected particles are weaving love stories
May we show up for what is ours to co-create!
Circle
The circle of all is called this gathering together
We are here, and we are ready to share our lives within you

Supplications for Elemental Travellers
Part Two : Blessing the Circle
Blessings
The path is opened by those who are ready to walk
May we bring the same grace that has been given to us
Beloved
When the star codes have led us to one another
Face to face, Body to body, heart to heart, we say yes!
Animals
Creatures of the far and near we hear you roar
Teach us your song of scale, fin, fur and feather
Harvest
Suckling peas, corn of plenty, squash so bright,
We fill our solstice baskets with plenty of good things to share
Light
The tears of lovers have created a prismatic door
Abandoning all hope to the wildness of true colors
Breakthrough
Lightning breaks forth in hallelujah electric blue major
Parting the veils for heart truths to shimmy forth
Dream
Watch the moon travel this sky dream dancing across
Sweetest slumber reknits my fabric in restfulness
Resilience
The stories of us are long, ribbonned and coiled
Our life unravels the myths that strengthen the way
Creativity
Intentional transformation internal wilderness
May the work of my hands be an offering to Creator
Community
The gathering up of the remembering ones is right now
Taking our place in the cathedral trees for ceremony
Gratitude
May we elemental travellers remember where we live
Giving true thanks for all that is and has been given
Quantum
We send this out to all beings
Our love flowing from this circle to all circles
Celebration
Our lives are an offering to all that is and ever will be
This is a cause for celebration, so let us begin!
Affirmation
All those gathered here who are witness
to this happening said their Yes!
Amen, Aho and Blessed Be and Hallelujah and Yahoo!!!!
