Summoning the Guardians (Calling the Quarters)

I was just wondering, what do you feel when you summon the Guardians during Calling of the Quarters?

From what I have learned, Guardians of the Watchtowers are higher beings than elementals. They serve to protect humans (if you believe in such) and may be called to protect and guard the circle during a ritual.

The first time I summoned Guardians, I experienced the following:

1. Air - Cold wind
2. Fire - My left hand warmed up
3. Water - I started to feel like I was in a body of water, floating
4. Earth - I felt a force pulling me towards the ground

Tonight was admittedly the second time I called them. I did it for practice (practice makes perfect in my book) and felt the following:

1. Air - Cold wind
2. Fire - A warm air manifested in front of me
3. Water - My left hand suddenly got wet. I'm quite sure it was dry before I reached West!
4. Earth - The ground felt more solid

Out of curiosity, I would like to ask those who summon the Guardians what they experience upon calling them?

If not the Guardians, do you work with elementals or elements themselves when Calling the Quarters? I am afraid to work with elementals since unlike Guardians, they don't serve the gods to protect humans. They can be quite mischievous from what I've read and heard, and do not want that kind of energy inside my home.

I must admit I don't call the Guardians all that often. When I do the hair on my arms stands on end and when I get to Michael, his candle glows more radiant then the others.

I haven't called them yet but I plan to do so during my next circle. I'll be sure to pay close attention to my physiological reactions.

Sounds like quite an experience! I haven't called them that much and considering the possibility that what I felt was psychological. Nonetheless, I do feel safer when they're around :)

Good luck dear! I was nervous the first time I called them and they didn't seem too cooperative :lol: I had to call them several times before I actually felt them - and I'm not even sure if it was them or just my mind playing with me. But that doesn't stop me from calling them to guard the circle :)

From what I've read and heard, elementals can be mischievous beings. I am particularly afraid of earth elementals. I do have kids at home and wouldn't want them lingering around because I wasn't able to send them away properly. Do you feel that my fears are valid?
