Prayers,Chants and Invocations

Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the winds be always at your back,
May the sun shine warmly upon your face,
May the rains fall softly upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May the Lady and Lord hold you close between them.

Bedtime Prayer

I lay me down to sleep,
Please help me learn my world to keep.
To guard the air and skies of blue,
The oceans, lakes, and rivers, too.
Save the mighty forestlands,
The plains, the shores, and desert sands.
Protect all creatures, wild and free,
In air, on land, and in the sea.

A Prayer Before Meals
Before eating, say these or similar words (if necessary, whisper or merely think these words)

From forest and stream;
From mountain and field;
From the fertile Earth's
Nourishing Yield;
I now partake of
Divine energy;
May it lend health,
Strength and love to me.
Blessed Be.

Prayer before Meals

Goddess of the verdant plain;

With You both above.

With wondrous silver rays;
Illuminate me through the night
And through the sum-lit days.

O Gracious Goddess;
O Gracious God,
I now enter the realm of dreams.
Weave now, if You will, a web of protective light around me.

Until the sun once again
Rules the Earth.

O Gracious God,
Be with me through the night.
