Great Spirit, Mountain Ancestors, All My Relations,
Blessings be here today as I come before you Honored One.
You have seen many sunrises and sunsets upon your branches,
Your sacred roots have been quenched by life giving rains.

I give thanks to you,
...for the singing birds that you shelter
...for the music you sing in the breeze
...for listening to the voices of the creatures
...for echoing the ancestors strength

Respected One, I ask you permission and humbly request your presence for my guided purpose as Great Spirit directs.

All things belong to you, Creator, all things are sacred.
So this day I honor you and humbly Thank You.
