Ianus, sacred caretaker of doors and halls, we call to you! Great god of within and without, past and present, beginnings and endings we see your face looking both ways. Hear our voices, Keeper of the Universe, as we honor you and beseech that you come together with us, your children today. 

Ianus, doorkeeper of the heavens, Portal Master, join us for this rite! Open the door to your world. Bring our two planes safely together at this place, at this time in our grove. Draw our realms together under your holy watch, your kind control. Hold the portal open for our rite and keep us safe for this time as our two worlds touch together at your holy threshold. Energy pulses! Forces unite! A door forms as glowing light traces a portal of magic between two worlds!

Ianus, join us! Keep watch in your sacred post!”

Rowynn plays middle C and Michelle leads half the congregation with an “I-aaahhh-nus…”

Immediately, Rowynn plays E and Maria leads the other half the congregation, picking up “I-aaahhh-nus”; together, notes blend into one chord.

As voices fade, Diana recognizes the opening of the gateway and the arrival of Ianus saying,

“Hail, Ianus!”
