Touch me
Feel me
Love me

I am filled with your essence
I rejoice in your presence
I am trembling at your power
And the sweet promises you whisper

For in you there is primal fecundity
In you there is raw masculinity
Unfiltered and untempered
As the storm over a Summer field

Strike with divine grace
Light my soul with your divine bolt
And fill me with you
Heavenly lord of thunder

Lord of the stormy skies
Lord of hosts
Lord of golden Olympus
Zeus son of Chronos and Rhea

In another place and time
When the world was younger
And the wild forests reigned
You hunted the land
You took down the buck
As the moonlight shown through the canopy

You, divine child of heaven
You, divine child of the mother
You, divine sister of reason and artistry
You, divine goddess of the wilds
Artemis your holy name

In a place we call today
When the world seems weary
And the forests suffer at our hands
You protect what is left
And lift up hearts to help in that endeavor
As those who call your name grow in number

You, divine lady of the bears
You, divine lady of the bees
You, divine lady of the predators stalking the jungle
You, inspiring us to find peace with nature
Artemis your holy name

In times yet to come and in hearts untouched
We pray and sing that you reach out
To touch us as we live
That you hold us to your bosom
And teach us your wild ways
And your love of untamed nature

You, blessed child of thunder
You, blessed lady of the trees
You who shine like moonbeams at midnight
You, who blesses the newborn
Artemis kind and terrible

Glorious sons of Zeus
That everliving lord of the heavens
Show me your light
Grant me your strength
Bless me with your presence

Dionysus of the wine dark eyes
Keeper of ecstasies
Provider of wine
Bless me your presence

Apollo of the radiant countenance
Prophet of the gods
Player of the lyre
Bless me your presence

Hermes of the mischievous grin
Keeper of secrets
Traveler of many roads
Bless me with tour presence

Ares of the strong sword arm
Warrior on the battlefields
Lover and guardian
Bless me your presence

With your grace I shall be my best
With your blessings I will walk head high
With your strength I will overcome
O sons of heaven hear me
As I say this humble prayer

The sun rises
It is beautiful
The giver of warmth
The energy of life
The keeper of the seasons

Helios
Apollo
Lords of heavenly light
Illuminators
Enlighteners

Blessed are we
Under your guiding light
For beauty and reason
Are brought out of shadow
Into the hearts of everyone

Blessed are we
To know you will always be there
In the blue of the heavens
Behind the turmoil of the storm
Eternal and divine

Heroes of old fought for you
To defend their lands
And conquer new ones
And through their efforts spread culture far and wide.

Blessed Athena
May we do those things without war and conquest

Goddess Of the twilight skies between night and day
Let your light shine upon us
Though it be only for minutes each day
Allow us the grace of knowing you
Great Goddess of the dawn
Great Goddess of the Dusk
Daughter of the light high above
Ushering in the age of light
Where once there was darkness

Hausos
Eos
Aurora
Ushas
Aušrinė

By many names have you been known
By many names praised and worshiped
From the earliest days of our kind
Until the very end of us
We mortal beings that dwell upon the earth
In gratitude and joy of the short time given us
When the dark below welcomes the last of us
Into the sunless world of death
Where we shall never know light or thought again

Art: Pierre-Narcisse Guérin

Your blessings are many
Though I am often ungrateful

Your gifts give me life
Though I sometimes don’t notice

My heart is filled by you
Lord of the dark realm
Where sunlight never reaches
And death moves freely
Among the riches of the earth

Your visage is unseen
Though I feel you get closer

Your wife walks the land
Blooming hope from despair

My souls feels your call
As all souls must
For we are granted but a glimpse
Of eternity’s glorious expanse
And the wonders of creation

Your cloak flows black against the night
Like a breeze in deep shadow

Your silence is immeasurable
Like the motion of the moon

My spirit seeks to know you
Though it waits a bit longer
For that brief moment of time
Before eternal night descends
And my time is finally over

You are Hades son of Chronos
Eternal god of the dead

You are God the invisible
Yet ever present Aidoneus

I draw some water from the well
The well that sinks deep into the earth
And take a sip

I draw a breath out here in the forest
Where green and blue and brown dominate
And breathe out again

I walk bare of feet on the warm sand
Where the earth meets the sea
And wiggle my toes in joy

I lie prone upon the grass
The holy earth beneath me
And I say a prayer

Gods of the foundations
Elemental powers of creation
I pray to you

Bless me, o flowing one
That I may never become too rigid
Bless me

Bless me, o tempestuous one
That I may feel the rain upon my face
Bless me

Bless me, o blessed traveller
That I may know boundaries and when to break them
Bless me

Bless me, o chthonic mother of us all
That I may know your strength
Bless me
