My Own Serenity

I know there are versions of the serenity prayer out there, both for pagans and non-pagans. I never felt an affinity with any of them, moreso with the better known one christians use.

At a time in my life where I’m facing multiple stresses, financial issues and something I am unable to discuss at the moment, I needed something to recharge and perhaps mend the little tears in my spirit. Something I could repeat as needed, and while the rede and the charges are wonderful, as is the goddess chant, I needed something more personal… I think I’ll even pull out the prayer beads and try doing this via meditation every day.

Goddess grant me:

The Strength of Earth, so I may walk my path without fear,

The Breath of Air, so I may sing and dance in your presence,

The Light of Fire, so I may see through that which lies in shadow,

The Warmth of Water, so I may feel your love wrapped around me.

So mote it be.

Happy Samhain!

Happy Samhain

Happy Samhain everyone!

 

Tonight is the night to honor the god’s passage to the underworld where he is welcomed by his consort and those who have gone before.

It is our night to honor our ancestors newly passed and older, to remind them of the love and respect shared with them from the land of the living.

I hope everyone has a safe and productive ritual night and a blessed new year. Blessed be!

 

Samhain PrayerScott Cunningham

On this night of Samhain I mark your passing, O Sun King,
through the sunset into the Land of the Young.

I mark also the passing of all who have gone before,
and all who will go after.

O Gracious Goddess, Eternal Mother,
You who gives birth to the fallen,
teach me to know that in the time of
the greatest darkness there is the greatest light.
