There is a rite not bound by age or season,
but chosen when the soul begins to stir with direction.
The Three Mothers look kindly on this moment—
not required, yet richly blessed when it is taken.

This is the Calling to Purpose:
when a person hears the deep pull of a path,
and chooses to walk it with steadiness and care.
It may be craft, service, study, or creation—
whatever calls from within and asks for devotion.

When the choice is made, let it be spoken aloud,
not for approval, but for anchoring.
Let the community gather, or simply listen,
and offer strength in return for the clarity shared.

The Mothers are never angered when the rite is passed by.
Not all callings come in thunder or in time.
But when this vow is made and honored,
they grant quiet gifts:
endurance in the body,
clarity in the mind,
and a deep warmth in the heart that does not dim.

Explanation

Sometimes, a person feels drawn to a path or calling. This could be a job, a craft, or a way of life they want to follow with care. If they choose to commit to it, they may share this choice with others. The community listens and offers support. The Three Mothers are pleased when this happens, but they are not upset if it does not. When someone accepts their calling with care, the Mothers give quiet gifts— strength, clarity, and warmth.
