All you who seek them

Sing now all you who seek them!
Sing and be merry!
The Gods will hear you, their hearts will gladden, their blessings will come.
Dance now all you who seek them!
Dance and feel joy!
The Gods delight to your graceful movements, they are content to know you.
Speak lines of poetry all you who seek them!
With rhyme and prose be true!
The Gods will be remembered through you and grace you with their gifts.
Worship all you who seek them!
Your prayers send up to heaven!
For all the Gods are there within you, where your heart brings life to your weary limbs.
Sing all you who seek them!
Sing and be grateful!
This gift of life you have been given is yours to relish and all the Gods will remember you!

Celebrating Are We

Celebrating are we, as the first buds appear
And the future seems brighter
Springtime comes, our Lady returns
The flowers will bloom

Celebrating are we, as the sun shines bright
And the rain on the horizon promises growth
Springtime comes, our Lord returns
The vines will grow green

Celebrating are we, as the grass begins to grow
And the breeze brings with it new scents
Springtime comes, the Gods rejoice
The sleeping beasts awaken

I see your light



Where others see darkness, I see your light.
Where others see magic, I see reason.
Where others fear you, I fear nothing when you are with me.

Blessed Hekate, bearer of torches, lighter of dark paths, protector and bringer of wisdom.

Where others see darkness, I see your light!

A Sabbath I Celebrate

A sabbath

I celebrate

A holy day and rite

To call you to me

Lord of drinkers

To feel you within me

Lord of  Ecstasy

To know your holy presence

I drink

I dance

A sabbath

I celebrate

Blessed Persephone

Sinking Goddess

You make us prepare for the worst

The cold of Winter fast approaching

Though Autumn reigns still


Dread Goddess

You make us shudder in fear

An end to all things do you promise

Though the world goes on


Beloved Goddess

You make us relish all hope

New beginnings do you promise

Though the past is forever gone


Rising Goddess

You make us pray for your return

The flowering of Springtime you promise

Though it cannot last forever


Blessed Persephone

You make us adore you

The swift hand of change are you

Though we both fear and are inspired by you

O Sweet Lady

O sweet lady
Whore of Cypress

You who hides in the sweltering heat of passion, where men indulge their most carnal desires
You who sparks within men the longing to satisfy their most profane needs
You who manifests in our hearts when our loins grow warm.

It is in you that we find our inner beast
And in you that we are made low
For from here we rise as the mighty oak from the acorn

O sweet lady
Violator of Oathes

You who stir in men a longing to touch you and find your most secret places
You who we seek as we long to plant our seed
You who strikes fear in the hearts of the faithful

It is in you that we search for meaning
And in you that we find it when least we expect it
For in you we also find that divine force men call love

O sweet lady
Deceiver of Men

You who draw us in with promises of wild and uncaring rutting
You who whisper sweet moans in our ears as we come
You who pulls on the strings of our hearts



It is in you that we place our greatest worth
And in you that we find the greatest of values
For it is in those moments most raw and most animal that we are indeed made most human

Virgins

Athena
Lady of wisdom
Hold my hand
Through all my battles
Through all my struggles
For mortal hands are lacking in my life these days

Artemis
Lady of the wild places
Run with me
In the silver light of the moon
In the hard pouring rain
For sacred places are rare to my eyes

Hestia
Lady of the tamed fires
Sit with me
Help warm my frigid hands
Help keep me from the cold
For seldom do I feel at home

Ladies
O Virgins of Olympus
Bless me
With divine grace
With divine dignity
For all seem so lacking in the world

Lady Athena Wise and bright

Lady Athena

Truest of the true 
Wisest of the wise Bravest of the brave  Bless me and grant me the best of your gifts A boundless desire An endless need To learn and know 

Lady Athena 

Tried and true defender Tried and true teacher Tried and true encourager 

Guard me from the worst of my traits The arrogance of certainty The sluggishness of age The death that is apathy 

Lady Athena 
Wise and bright Stand by my side
