Gatekeeper invocation to Proserpina for a Roman Hearth Autumn Equinox Rite. Used by Sassafras Grove in 2011 and 2012
Proserpina, we call to you,
Bright child of spring,
Hope of Gods and Men.
Proserpina, we call to you,
Golden maiden of summer,
Full blossoming of womanhood.
Proserpina, we call to you,
Noble lady of autumn.
Muted silver, shadowed bride.
Proserpina, we call to you,
Dark queen of winter,
Divine mistress of the Underworld.
Proserpina, ever-changing,
Who crosses the veil,
Who walks between,
Who sits enthroned,
Join your magic to ours.
Let the Well open as a gate that we might know the wisdom of the Ancestors.
Let the Fire open as a Gate that we might know the blessings of the Divine.
Let the Tree open as a Gate that we might know the wonder of this World and All Worlds.
Let all worlds meet here in our sacred center!
Let the Gates be open!
