Winter came and we sheltered
Held in your arms before the sacred fire
That fire that brings warmth to the weary
And upon which food is cooked and a family fed
The divine altar of the Lady of the Hearth

She who is pure of motive and deed
She who lives among us […]

Holy are you, virgin huntress
Divine are your aspects
Blessed are those who know you
For they have embraced your purity
Your heavenly strength
Your sure aim
And your protection

Blessed Artemis, lady of the wilds
Cursed are those who know you
Yet debase the […]

I called you and you came, dear Athena of the upper realm, for I had need of wisdom, of strength, and the will to change. For this I thank you!

Blessed Salpinx, war trumpet, who roars to life in defense of civilization
Blessed Sthenias, the strong, who arms […]

I offer to you, O lady, the melikraton
I pound the earth, o goddess, that you may hear me
I grip the earth with my hands, o Persephone, that I may feel you near

I sing and call to you, o Kore, and I am filled with emotion
I pour the sweetened milk, o queen […]

O Holy Dionysus

Of the ivy and the vine

I ask for your presence

I ask for your blessings

Lord of ecstatic revelation

Lord of the altered mind

Show me the world as it truly is

Allow me to see the truth

For in your presence I will dance

Wild and […]

Happy New Year to you
You who worship and delight in the Gods
For they will walk with you as Winter sets in
Or perhaps it is Summer you look upon
You far to the South of the world

Happy New Year to you
You who sing songs of pious praise
And light candles to commemorate their presence
That they […]

The Winter shows herself
Veiled in white
With the winds at her back
A glorious sight
That thrills with chilled shivers
Kissing our faces with stings of frost

Look upon her works
And they are many
A blanket of snow and ice
Protecting the earth, mother of plenty […]

Fly, fly, ever higher, fly
Lord of the light of the sun
On a chariot of gold
Shining ever brightly
Bringing warmth to the world

Fly fly, from the gates of asphodel, fly
King of the disk of the sun
From the time of the Solstice
To the time of the Solstice
Marking Winter and Summer

Fly, fly, o […]

The time comes
The shortest day
The longest night
The wheel turning anew

The sun will rise
The sun will set
The moon will make her own way
The stars will twinkle in the heavens

Holy Helios
Brightest in the sky
Giver of warmth
Supporter of life

Holy Selene […]

You are a light in the darkness that lies like a veil upon the world
A darkness that consumes all it touches
A darkness called ignorance
Which destroys with unearned confidence and misguided self assurance

It sets upon us falsehoods and fakery in the guise of […]

There is a light within you
A light that connects you
To the Gods who dwell on high
And the Gods who dwell below

There is a light within you
A light that connects you
To the man who stands beside you
To the woman that stands before you

The light of love, an […]

The brightness of heaven
The roll of the storm
The flash of lightning overhead
The sound of thunder in the distance

Your essence fills the air
Blessed lord of the sky
Glorious Zeus on high

The crashing of the waves
The briny smell of the sea
The teaming life […]

Before the Chaos spawned
And the realm cosmic came to being
You lived and stirred
Though none could see you
Save the brethren that stirred with you

You bore no names, for no man had felt you near
You bore no form, for no man had imagined it
You bore no […]

Blessed Demeter of the corn
Lady of the seads
Lady of the grass and the beans
Mother be with us

We offer thanks for the bread that fills our homes with its aroma
We offer thanks for the stew that offers sustenance
We offer thanks for the meals that bring us […]

Goddess of the sacred fires
Hear my prayer
And let the flames purify my words and carry them forth
To shining Olympus where they may be heard

Do not abandon us, O Gods
Walk with us as we stumble
See us as we fall
Offer us a hand as we seek to get up

God of […]

Goddess ever bright
Goddess ever tempestuous
Goddess ever loving
Goddess ever raging
Hera of the cow brown eyes
Cloaked in peacock feathers
Radiant and divine

Let us sing of you who are wife
Let us sing of you who are avenger […]

The earth snuggles down to sleep
Her power focused on other lands
And in her sleep you sing and dance
Who taught man to ferment the juices of fruit
And enjoy the work of a year with celebration
Where merriment and debauchery reign
And legs are loosened to […]

Lord
In the earth you sleep as Winter comes
A time of quiet and peace
To tend to the animals and enjoy your gifts
Along the raging fire and the family we cherish

Dionysus of the vines
Giver of many gifts
Loosener of the will
Loosener of legs

Lord
You give us […]

Golden and radiant, a beautiful sight
Like the parting of clouds and beams of light
A treasure to all mankind that thrives in your presence
And with your blessings brings joy into the world

Golden and bright, a gorgeous apparition
Like the petals of a blooming […]

O Kindly One
Goddess of the home fires
Whose power flows through all mortal life
A place of shelter be it cave or house
Who blesses mankind where family dwells

O Warm One
Goddess of the ties that bind us
Whose power flows through our connections
A line back home no matter how far it stretches […]

In times of pain I have sought your touch

In times of solitude I have sought your […]
