Your position is Dusk (Westish, toward the house).
Opening #
During the opening, after “Spirits of the Ways, guide our journey”, say:
Feel the land below you, firm and steady, but ever-shifting.
See the marks of the changing season on it.
Hear the tide of life that remains and changes with it.
That Pulse underlies our circle, and the spirits that live there surround us and pull us along, ever with us through all our own transitions.
We call you, Spirits of Smoke, and of Change. Be with us.
(pause for responses)
Spirits of the Pulse, guide our journey.
Closing #
During the closing, you are first. Make sure you're at Dusk, and after the rite-tender says we're going to thank the spirits of the circle, say:
You who are with us through change, we thank you.
