With one dear to me,
In this fateful hour...
Upon all powers of Goodness and Light I call;
The graceful Moon with her loving glory,
The evening star with her vengeful fury,
The morning Sun with his shining brightness,
The falling snow with its glowing whiteness,
The warming fire with all the strength it has,
The quick lightning with its blazing wrath,
The searching winds with their dancing swiftness,
The stormy sea with its empty deepness,
The mountain stones with their eternal steepness,
The mothering Earth with her living fullness.
With love of the Divine and calmness of faith;
With all lives lived and dawns yet to be;
With all I have seen and to ever will see;
With those who have stood where I now stand;
All these I place...
Between myself and the forces of Darkness.

The words are not mine, and portions of this have appeared in other forms and other writings.  What I offer is a fuller version of a Deeper Magic.  When the situation is dire, Darkness is winning and all hope seems lost, remember these words.

Use of these words will become obvious when, as they say, "The tide is high and the water is still rising."

It hurts me deeply how intolerably cruel and lost the world is, how pain and suffering is packaged and sold, how predators use hope as a weapon and how dark the horizon appears.  I am asking all who receive this, if they can, to please read the words aloud, at sunrise or sunset, on June 24th this year.  Together, we can all make a difference in this world, even if only in the smallest ways in our own homes.

Even the slightest change can Light up a World!
