Actually, sounds like the invocation to the Four Quarters, or the Calling of the
Elements.
1. Face the North. Call the Spirits of the North.
2. Face the West. Call the Spirits of the West.
3. Face the South. Call the Spirits of the South.
4. Face the East. Call the Spirits of the East.
This form of ritual is ingrained in the subconcious of anyone from any culture- part
of the cultural/genetic memory. It has many parallels in many cultures, and the above
is only a simplified version.
