An Autumn Blessing

Oh, Mother Gaia,
As Night draws near
We give thanks for this day.
Equal Day and Night.

Oh, Mother Gaia,
We give thanks for the changing seasons.
You have given us an amazing Summer of warmth and play.
You gifted us with an abundance of growing things.
Both beauty and nourishment.
Thank you for all that was part of the passing season.

Oh, Mother Gaia,
We give you thanks for the light of day,
As we harvest your great bounty.
Offering you our work in service.
You prepare us now for going inward.
We give thanks for the great joy and colour that fills
Our world.

Oh, Mother Gaia,
Thank you for the gift of cycles and seasons.
We are honoured to witness, this cycle of death.
This opportunity to RE-member our death and rebirth.
Thank you Mother Gaia, for your great wisdom.

Thank you Father Sky
As our nights become longer,
A time to dream and reflect.
Stillness, BE-ing.
Guide us on our journey.

Thank you Mother Gaia and Father Sky
May we raise our voices in song,
Welcome Autumn.
The Wheel continues to turn,
We are grateful.
Blessings this Autumn Equinox!

Today may I be Kinder, Gentler
With those I come in contact with,
In person, letter or phone.
Thank you for this opportunity, Creator.
Let my words be spoken form my heart.

Monday Night Vesper

Great Creator,
I am most grateful for the Gifts granted me.
Each day you bring Challenges and Blessing.
Guide me that I may find the Resolve, the Energy and Beauty
That resides within myself and those around me to
Do the work that is Calling us.

Great Creator,
Thank you for this day.
Watch over me as I sleep, yet if it is my time~
Come whisper in my heart.
Guide me home.

Great Creator, I abide with thee.
Blessings as I lay me down to rest.

Hurricane Prayer

We call out to you
Amphitrite, Goddess of the Sea
Vasillia, Goddess of the Winds
Be kind as you send your combined forces toward land.
Be gentle with the Winged Ones, that fly over the great Ocean.
Keep in mind the Finned, that live within your depths.

Amphitrite, Vasillia, we ask that you watch over those whose livelihood comes from your great bounty.
May ships that are out to sea, find Safe Harbour.
Be gentle with this ocean storm, we ask that you not feed upon our fears.
Teach us to surrender, to accept that which we can not change.
Let us know that all storms, pass
Leaving us with space to grow.
We ask that in your wake we may find treasures of Understanding and
Acceptance.
We give thanks in advance for the quite and Peace that will come.

Amphitrite, Vasillia,
We weep with you, for what may be lost.
We are humbled in your wake.
Please guide all souls that may pass during this storm Home.

Thank you for this Day

Mother Earth, Mother Gaia
Teach me, guide me
In giving Thanks.
Guide me in Gratitude,
That I may learn to focus on
The Abundance in my Life.
Thank you Mother Earth, Mother Gaia,
For teaching me these ways.
Thank you for this day,

This Day..

Great Spirit, I thank you for this day,
Guide my words that I may be patient,
Guide my actions that I come from an open heart of Love.
Great Spirit, I thank you for this day,
In moments, when I find myself going against my grain,
Help me to find Compassion and forgiveness.
For myself as well as my fellow Human-being.
Great Spirit, I thank you for this day,
Let Peace shine from my soul that,
That I may be remembered as light.
Great Spirit, thank you for this day.
