I think Levi or Barrett first came up with it, but in each grade ceremony within the Golden Dawn or OTO initiation, the elemental prayer for that grade is recited.
As spirits draw near when invoked or thought of, do the elementals function in that way as well?
An example for the Earth grade of Zelator:
Prayer ofthe Gnomes or Earth elementals.
' O invisible king, who, taking the Earth for foundation, didst hollow its depths to fill them with thy almighty power. Thou whose name shaketh the arches of the world. Thou who causest the seven metals to flow in the veins of the rocks. king of the seven lights. rewarder of the subterranean workers, lead us into the desirable air and into the realm of splendour.
'We watch and we labour unceasingly. We seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the Holy City, by the buried talismans, by the axis of the loadstone which passes through the centre of the Earth! O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! Have pity Upon those who suffer. Expand our hearts, unbind and upraise our minds, enlarge our natures.
'O Stability and motion! O darkness veiled in brilliance! O day clothed in night! O master who never dost withhold the wages of thy workman! O silver whiteness. O golden splendour! O crown of living harmonious diamond! Thou who wearest the heavens on thy finger like a ring of sapphire! Thou who hidest beneath the earth in the kingdom of gems, the marvellous seed of the stars! Live, re!gn and be Thou the eternal dispenser of the treasures whereof Thou hast made us the wardens. '
