Prayer
III.
Daily
O
good powers of light here be
in clear mind I beckon thee
grant me mystic knowing pure
let inner peace and joy endure
let through me your work befall
for the aid and betterment of all
So Mote It Be.
Sacred
altar I honor thee
and to all thy agents, blessed be
let this day be just as holy
and may I come to live it fully
I offer praises to this day most divine
for all days are sacred when I incline
to feel the presence of the gods
and to live in the blessing of the gods.
For I abide in them as they abide in me
and to live in this way is to live most sacredly.
I
offer praises to the bringer of the golden dawn
whose light pierces the darkness;
whose heat warms the cold heart.
You, who give birth to the new day
and let life continue on in its pursuit of joy and beauty
Illumine me, warm me, enlighten me.
I
sing praise to the morning sun,
O bright and glorious one!
Provider of warmth, of light, of heat;
Great fire of the East that makes life complete.
Symbol of God, of strength, and wisdom true,
I take this time to humbly honor you.
As
the morning sun begins to rise,
let the beauty of this day fill my eyes.
As I start this day most sacred,
let me find no need for hatred.
Let me, instead, create and seek
those moments of joy that make life unique.
Noon
Lord
of light,
who blazes in the height of the heavens;
who sits in the high throne of the day;
who has made this day bright and glorious;
who has brought warmth
and given us the chance to grow,
I offer my praise and thanks to you.
Hail to you great Sun,
riding your blazing chariot beyond the horizon;
offering us again a dazzling display of your glory;
teach me to know my own endings with such honor.
Let me take this time to recall what joys have filled me this day.
Show me how to face the darkness without despair
and grant me safe sleep until I can rise with you again.
I am thankful to be
most fully alive and healthy
and for the chance to live
yet one more day
in which I can be joyful
in all I do and say.
O
gods and godesses of the earth and sky,
O great mysterious force of life,
grant me this time of rest and peace.
Let me take stock of my day
and be glad for it.
May it also be this way for others
when they go to rest.
Grant peace and comfort to all those in this place.
Grant peace and comfort to all those in this community.
Grant peace and comfort to all beings everywhere
so that we may rise in a better world for one and all.
I
call on you
beautiful Goddess -
you who is holds the chalice of dreams.
As I prepare myself now for sleep,
let me be conscious of my trip
across your waters between wake and sleep.
Give me clear vision to see the dreams to come.
Give me this time to learn your lessons for me
in the images that come to me.
Part the veil of imagination
and send me in full view
to that time of endless time,
that place of forever vision.
Teach me to interpret the dreamscape I shall encounter
and show me how to use what I learn for good and right.
With your blessing,
send me off to that sleep of wonders.
O
great and beautiful Goddess,
whose light shines down in silver slivers,
teach me to appreciate the quietness.
Teach me to appreciate the small things
which are so great.
Teach me to better love myself
and all beings.
Teach me to honor you in all my work
and in all my relationships
and in this way
may I truly worship you.
O
great and silent mystery
that is the core of all life,
teach me to embrace the dark.
Show me how to live in the unknown.
Let me know the wonder of the many stars
that shine down upon me.
Through these things may I come to know and honor you.
May
I always remember:
This time is as sacred as any story.
This place is as sacred as any temple.
This body is as sacred as any deity.
This mind is as sacred as any tome.
This soul is as sacred as any breath.
This life is as sacred as any light.
Let it be so for all times and all places
and for all manifestations.
