Ancestors, I call you!
Mighty and Beloved Ones,
Heroes and Allies of my many lineages,
Of blood and bone,
Of heart and mind and spirit,
I call to you!
Ancient Ones, whose names have been lost but whose hearts still burn strong,
I invite you, nourish yourselves at my table this night!
Beloved Ones, you whose names my heart speaks in moments of grief and of love,
I invite you, nourish yourselves at my table this night!
Honored Ones, you whose contributions birthed and nurtured the many paths I walk,
I invite you, nourish yourselves at my table this night!
Lonely Ones, you who are not invited elsewhere and who will cause no ill for me and mine,
I invite you, nourish yourselves at my table this night!
Ancestors, I call you!
Mighty and Beloved Ones,
Join me at my hearth this night,
Be nourished, even as you have nourished me.
Ancestors, accept these offerings!
