A New Moon Prayer: Maiden Goddess

A prayer addressing the newly waxing goddess.

Maiden Goddess

Destroyer and planter

Silver sickle of the sky

You who now waxes in strength

     and beauty

You who are in turns mother, sister,

     and tonight daughter

I welcome you, my Lady

I praise you, I worship you

 

Bread on the altar

Water to fill your cup

This bread and water I share

     in your honor

I eat and drink and remember

     you my goddess

Likewise remember me

This prayer was very evocative for me. I got chills when I read, "Silver sickle in the sky." In response to MadameBlack's comment, I think that this prayer lends itself to quiet prayer, but prayer spoken aloud. I like that this would be equally appropriate for a group of one or thirteen.

That last line is particularly powerful. So glad you put this up just in time for the Wolf Moon.

A very nice prayer indeed. Just had my full moon ritual and so your writing was a must read.

I'm not much for poetry, so dont put much weight into what I have to say. I'm a big fan of rhythm and rhyme, and while I know its not necessary... I feel like the rhythm is. I can see you put obvious thought and intent into each line, but it doesnt flow well for me. Perhaps its just me!

Thanks for the read and blessings :)
