Goddess in motion
Goddess at war
Goddess of wisdom
Goddess afar
Hear us from your vaunted space
Hear us as we pray

Goddess of cities
Goddess of heroes
Goddess speaking softly in our ears
Goddess defeater of foes
Come forth and stand with us
Come forth and shield us

Goddess in robes
Goddess in the Aegis
Goddess bearing sword
And in your other hand a spear
Fight with us as we do battle
Fight with us as we seek justice

Goddess daughter
Goddess virgin
Goddess of the grey eyes
And the stern and powerful visage
Enter our lives and be welcome
Enter our homes and be the honored guest

Daddy Prometheus

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 very world you love
For they have denied your divinity
Harmed that which you would protect
Profaned that which you hold sacred
Forsaking natural beauty for cold cash

Artemis of the silver bow
Lady of the full quiver
Strike them who would destroy
Bless them who would protect
Even as you would protect
For you are divine
For you are goddess of the wilds

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 abandoning reason



And for the world I ask a boon

Show them the hurt they cause

Let them feel it too

For in feeling lies compassion



Show them too the lies they tell

To others and to themselves

That they may learn to live truthfully

And allow others to do the same



Lord of the vine and the ivy

Stand with us today

Walk, perhaps crookedly, along this path with us

Lord of introspection

Grant us your gifts

Walk with us as we navigate life, O holy Dionysus

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 within it
The whirlpool chaos of the hurricane

Your essence fills the waters
Blessed lord of the sea
Glorious Poseidon of the depths

The stone that marks the tomb
The mist that conceals the graves
The sorrow of those left behind
The great maw of death that brings about new birth

Your essence fills the hearts of the mourning
Blessed lord of the underworld
Glorious Hades down below

The world you rule divided in three
The hearts of man sense you as you move
And beg your blessings and kindness this day

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
Who blesses us with the knowledge that we are loved

O Tender One
Goddess of the warming flames of the hearth
Whose power flows as warmth does
A blessing that thwarts the cold of an uncaring cosmos
Who resides with us as our hearts beat in our chests

O Eternal One
Goddess of the closeness of divinity
Whose power flows like a river that carves canyons
An unstoppable force of gentle urging
Who seeks nothing from us but that we huddle close

O Great Hestia
Goddess of the hearth and the home
Whose power all humanity feels
A knowing feeling of acceptance and safety
Who greets us with open arms at our very door

O lord traveler
I seek your blessing
For I am far from home
In the home I once knew

O lord traveler
I seek your kindness
As I may not have the strength to carry my own
As I look upon her whithered face

O lord traveler
I seek you
Let me feelyou near me
For I am feeling so alone

O Lord traveler
I seek your presence
Hermes everlasting son of the storms
For with you I can do anything

Blessed lady of the twilight
Goddess of the dawn
Opener of doors
Keeper of gates
As the sun rises I ask for your blessings

That I might see the doors before me
And with your blessing walk through them
That I might see the gates as potential
Not barriers to discourage me

Blessed Eos of the dawn
In robes of violet and ochre
Flowing forth into the world
As the night lifts her veil
And the stars fade to blue

I pray and sing a song for you
Χαίρε χαίρε χαίρετε
Χαίρε χαίρε χαίρετε Ηώς
Χαίρε χαίρε χαίρετε
Χαίρε χαίρε χαίρετε θεά
Χαίρε χαίρε ευχαριστώ

Mother of life

Mother of the seas

Mother of the skies above

Holy Mother Earth



By your grace do we live our mortal lives

By your grace the Gods fill the void with their power

By your grace children are born and grow

Fed by the riches of your very flesh



May we be blessed by your gifts

The bread we bake

The water we drink

The air we breathe

The love we share one with another



Blessed Mother of all things

May my words please you

Lady of Wisdom and swift action
Moving as the wind from mind to mind
A challenger to ignorance


Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Hephaestus, son of heaven
Lord of smiths and the work of men
Working with strong arms the malleable metal
A shield and a sword against barbarism

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Ares, Son of heaven
Lord of warriors and the bloodshed of the battlefield
Spear in hand piercing the heart of the enemy
A fierce protector of civilization through savagery

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Hermes, son of heaven
Lord of demarcations and borders crossed
Moving along the dark paths between life and death
Gifting humanity with speech and negotiation

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Artemis, daughter of heaven
Lady of stags and the hunters that seek them
Shining like the ghostly light of the moon
Bringing with you honey and safety in childbearing

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Apollo, son of heaven
Lord of wolves and of the northern aurorae
Healing the sick and bringing with you art and music
A shining beacon of reason and health

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Dionysus, son of heaven
Lord of the vine and the drunken prophet
Bringing self realization through inebriation
Giving mankind a means to grow

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Praised be Persephone, daughter of heaven
Lady of the sunless world and the Springtime
Bringing hope for the future from the land below
Blessing the land with growth and killing it off again

Blessed may we be by your divine presence

Spiritual peace is something you create. no god is going to just hand it to you! #pagan #paganism #hellenismos #religion #prayer

Wild is he, that god of shepherds, who runs through the forests reeds in hand to make music for mother nature

Wild is he, that god of the wilderness, who dances to tunes only he can hear clearly

Wild is he, that god of manly passions, who chases wild nymphs and sultry satyrs under the canopy

Pan the great
Pan the horned
Pan the passionate
Pan the aroused

O blessed Pan, manly and animalistic, bless our erections with potency

O blessed Pan, who shakes the soul, bless our hearts with passion

O blessed Pan, who scares the unbeliever, bless our souls with connection to the very earth we walk upon #pagan #paganism #hellenismos #religion #prayer #polytheism

Blessings of love to all who need to be told they are loved!

Blessings of light to those who dwell in darkness!

Blessings of wisdom to those who wallow in ignorance!

Blessings of kindness to those who have never had it before!

Blessings of pleasure to those who live in pain!

My prayer of blessings to you all, for my hope is that you may share them with others as I do with you!

Goddess looking away
In three directions you watch
Guarding the pathways leading to you
Keeping a light on the pathways leading away

Bearing torches that light the ways
Bearing keys that open the gates
Bearing the serpent of chthonic prophecy
Bearing the blade of holy sacrifice

Goddess in dark days
When the moon is at its darkest
And the stars shine brightly
The light you bring grants hope

Goddess accompanied by many
The saddened dead who follow you
The dogs that bark lively in the night
Along the path to the world below

Goddess at the boundaries of life
Passing forth between the dead and living
Passing from day to night
Passing through the threshold while protecting it

Bearing torches of divine flame
Bearing the keys to heart and home
Bearing the serpents as on Medusa’s head
Bearing the blade of sacred protection

Hecate Trioditis guide me!
Hecate Ennodia guard my choices!
Hecate Chthonia grant me a good life!
Hecate Soteira guard me from myself!

Radiant lord of reason and art
Of singers and dancers
Composers and authors
Who leads the Muses in a divine dance
Whose blessings fall upon mankind
With your divine grace

Quiet lord of healers and caretakers
Of doctors and nurses
Of those who care for the feeble
And give the elderly your careful time
Who fathered Asclepius that he may heal
That mankind might prosper

Whispering god of prohpecies
Of sybils and oracles
Of diviners and auguries
Whose word have guided mankind
Through good times and bad
That we might learn of his ways

Howling lord of the wolves
Alexikakos who averts evil
Boedromius who rescues those in need
Epikourios who helps the weary
Theoxenios who welcomes the foreigner
Apollon of Olympian fame

She came forth from the depths
Her golden hair wet and tangled
The sand of the beach clinging to her delicate feet
A beauteous woman, young and alluring
Nature itself sighing in relief as she took her first breath

She was golden and pure, a delight to behold
And to her ran spirits of time and season
To comb the tangles from her hair
And dress her in robes of gossamer
Placing sandals on her feet

The sea sounded saddened by her absence
The beach grew flowers and she walked
The sky grew brighter as Hyperion looked on
A new joyous feeling flooding the world
As she walked forward into the world

To her the Horae sang a song
Of love and everlasting pleasure
For to the world was born a goddess
That would send even the gods into a frenzy
Aphrodite of the beauteous breasts that all would envy

#paganism #pagan #hellenismos #religion #prayer #Aphrodite

Lord of Hosts
Of weary travelers seeking shelter

Lord of the aegis
Thunder in your hands

Lord of the storms
That frighten man and beast alike

Lord of the heavens
And all the gods that there dwell

Lord father of wisdom
That ever wily goddess

Lord father of the prophet
That ever strong god

Lord husband
Of the fierce goddess of heroes

Lord brother of the sea
Whose power shakes the very earth

Lord brother of death
That god who reigns over the dead

Lord Zeus, Dieus Piter
God the father
Lord of all you survey
Father of gods and men
Father of heroes that shape history
And Heroines that observe and lament
In your name we live
In your name we share
In your name we open our arms
To those most in need

Gracious Lord
God of the roads
Where travelers walk
Merchants carry their wares to market
And thieves search for their marks

Gracious son of Zeus
Angelic lord of the range
Of the pastures for grazing
The goats on the hills above
And the farmers keeping them

Gracious Hermes
Son of Maia
Thief of the sacred cattle
Creator of the lyre
A gift to the radiant Apollo

Gracious Psychopompos
Leader of the somber parade
Of the shades of those now gone
Down into the Earth
Where Hades and Persephone await

Blessed goddess
Wise and beautiful
Shining with the light of reason
Rejoicing in knowledge
Delighting in tactics

We seek you
Those of us who know you
That you may stand with us
As times grow dark

Blessed goddess
Warrior and general
Teacher and student
Weaver and cutter
Delighting in the works of the hands

We seek you
We who would know what to do
And seek justice for those who cannot
In these times of corruption

Blessed goddess
Sound of judgement
Sound of strength
Sound of intellect
Daughter of heaven

We seek you
Athena of the aegis
Lady of the sword and shield
Goddess of wisdom and war

We are the children of Hyperion
That light of the heavens
Born of Gaea, our divine mother the sacred earth
And Ouranos, our divine father the starry sky

We are the children of Theia
That Titan that sees all and allows us to see
Born of Gaea, our divine mother and giver of gifts
And Ouranos, our divine father the heavens above

Helios
Resplendant lord of the Winter Solstice

Selene
Silver gowned lady of the moon

Eos
Bedecked in shades of gold, violet, and indigo at the dawn

The divine Hyperionides
Who from the East ride forth
Into the heavens above
To bring light and color to the world once dark
The gifts of their parents
They who measure the days
And the months of the year

The Gods in the heavens

The Gods that flow freely through the briny sea
They shall walk with you into the forest
And there in the gloom you will hunt
For truth and enlightenment
And they will freely share it
For you walk the paths with Hecate

O Hermes

Divine messenger

Shepherd

Guide

Steal away my prayers

On to the lofty heights

Where everything is forever

And nothing ever ends



A prayer of hope

Of kindness and love

Of joy and effervescent delight

To the Gods who dwell on golden lit Olympus

Under Zeus, the King



O Hermes

Deity and Angel

Lord of thieves

Lord of cowherds

Divider of lands to useful plots

Guardian of borders

Keeper of hopes

Son of the All-King



I pray that you may hear

I honor you that you may see

My devotion is real

There is a wind tossing leaves into the air
A scent of musky change in the air
The colors of orange and ocher mix with green
The sky is blue and gray in constant shifts
The memory of Summer seems to fade
Your Mysteries have come
Change ever present
Change ever moving
Change ever bringing growth and decline
Life and death

You Gods who shift and change
Like gossamer on the breeze
Are hard at work in the world around me
The grain is harvested
The pumpkins picked
The soul of the land seeking a restful sleep
By Demeter and Dionysus sung to slumber
That the earth may be moistened by rain and snow
Nutrients frothing forth from decay
A gift to the Springtime and the cultivators to come

That no evil may enter
Neither intended or not
To bring chaos and destruction

Daughter of Kronos
Shaper of the Omphalos
Protect those I love

That no evil may touch them
Neither intended or not
To bring pain and sorrow to their lives

Bless us one and all

That no evil may influence us
Neither intended or not
To cause us to do evil to others

Sorrowful wife of Kronos
Bless the world

That no evil may flourish here
Neither intended or not
That will further bring us to the brink of destruction

My beloved Athena
Goddess of all Wisdom
How might I honor you?
How would you have me worship you?

O Goddess
I pray and ask that you hear me
I pray that you help me enlighten them
They who do not know wisdom
Only the words of demagogues
And empty-headed preachers
For whom nothing matters but their own wealth

Guide my hand that I may write well
Guide my mind that I may bring forth persuasive thoughts
Guide my heart that I not fall victim to the same hubris

She blazes forth

Like sunlight in the morning

Or a bolt of lightning

Quick and overcoming

In her eternal glory



She calls to you

Like the sound of the wind

Or the rolling thunder

Loud and overpowering

Her voice subtle yet strong



She fills you

With wisdom and courage

Or the holy thirst for knowledge

That can consume as well as enlighten

The mind of a goddess



She protects you

With the strength to persevere

And the power to hold your own

Against ignorance and shame

In her arms you are safe



She is Athena of the grey eyes

That stalwart warrior and virgin

Her domain inviolable

Her gifts freely given

To those willing to receive them

Born of Rhea, last of her children
A young god from the womb of an eldeer
Fathered by Kronos, king of the heavens
Of an era long gone now

Destined to be consumed were you
For your father feared the future
Not knowing he was the cause
Of his very own demise

Raised on Crete, that sacred land
Where spirits of the land were tasked with you
Fed the milk of Amaltheia, the goat
And kept hidden by the songs of the Kouretes

Destiny was no match for your mother saved you
A stone she gave your hungry father
Who subsumed it into himself
As he would have done to you

A young and powerful god you were
Told tales of your father’s guilt
And your mothers desperate gamble
You grew to beauteous godhood

Destiny once more exerted her power
You rose to high Olympus
And to your father presented yourself
A cupbearer to serve him as he ruled

A scheming god, wise and patient
A cup you prepared for your father
Herbs and spices in his beloved wine
To induce in him a need to set off your plans

Destiny spun its threads
And into the tapestry of life set your story
As god after god was born anew
From the father’s body expelled

With divine power and righteous anger
The children went to war with their father
From the depths others released
To fight for you in this holy time

Destiny wove your righteous actions into fate
The great mother advised you and yours
Thunder was forged for you
To win this holy war in the heavenly realm

The war won you took a wife
And betrayed the children of Earth
Whose weapons helped your cause
And into the dark pits did you send them

So Destiny once more turned its spindle
The threads once more she wove into life
A new perophecy, a new fate
One we pray will not come to pass

And so you rule, O Heavenly Zeus
God of the mountain peaks
Stirring the clouds to storming
Bearer of the thunder that none yet dare face
