BLESSING THE EARTH FOR PLANTING O gentle Air, we do come before Thee To ask that your gentle tender breezes kiss The plants that will come forth. O fearful Fire, we do come to ask that Your hot heat be but a gentle warmth To help the plants grow. O Water of Life, we do come before Thee To ask your gentle waters to bring life To the tender plants that come forth. O Great Mother, let thy dark womb care For the tender seeds, to push them up when The time is right for the plants to come into full bloom. We do thank Thee Diana. Mother of All Living Things and Giver of Life. Blessed Be. (offer wine to Lord & Lady ñ ground may be consecrated with element before planting)
