Invocation of the Sacred Stag
We invoke Thee,
antlered Ancient One,
both Lord and Victim
of the Winter's hunt;
giver of Thy flesh
for the love of our lives,
in this,
Thy season of Sacrifice.
We invoke Thee,
shape-shifting Solstice Stag,
Thy hoof prints brushed away by driven snow
as Thou guardest the pathways to the Invisible.
Winter-reigning forest-phantom,
be here among us
as we celebrate
this turning of the Solar Wheel!
Excerpted From "Winter
Solstice Rite" as part of
a complete Winter Yule ritual.
