Opening Rite For All Tarot Spells
When all is in readiness, pause for a silent meditation, placing your mind in a serene, receptive state. Hold this quiet, contemplative state for as long as seems appropriate. Then light the candles. Now hold your hands over the layout in an attitude of invocation or blessing and say:
"I call now upon the Earth,
Far plains and lofty mountains,
For power and strength to my spell,
As I light this candle in summoning."
"I call now upon the waters,
Broad lakes, ever-moving streams,
And the boundless ocean,
For power and strength to my spell,
As I light this candle in summoning."
"I call now upon the skies,
The far reaches of infinite spaces,
And the far Wheel of Eternity,
For power and strength to my spell,
As I light this candle in summoning."
"I call now upong the deep fires
That burn in the core of the Earth,
At one with the energies of Life itself,
For power and strength to my spell,
As I light this candle in summoning."
Pause for the length of five heartbeats, then pick up the Tarot deck and remove the significant cards for the spell you have choosen to perform. Then say:
"Reaching far into the archaic past
I draw forth these symbols
For that to which my spell shall be cast.
Here shall be woven Chance, Fortune, and Fate
That my deepest wish may be swiftly attained."
At this point, go to the specific spell that you are going to perform and lay out the cards according to the diagram provided with the spell. After you have laid out the cards, carefully and with as much feeling as you can began to read your chosen spell.
