Prayer to Zeus, Gaia and Helios for the Witnessing of an Oath

I call to Zeus, great lord of Olympus,

upholder of order, upholder of truth,

to hear the words I speak on this day,

to witness the oath I make before you.

I call to broad-bosomed Gaia, mother

of all that is, who knows of all her children,

to hear the words I speak on this day,

to witness the oath I make before you.

I call to all-seeing Helios, driver

of the chariot of the sun, bright-haired god,

to hear the words I speak on this day,

to witness the oath I make before you.

Hear me, O deathless ones; mark my words

on this day, in this place. Hold me to my vow,

I pray to you, for I bind myself

freely and willingly with this pledge.

A very lovely and wonderfully wrote poem. I greatly respect Gaia and because most of the people in my community (including my family) are christian I am hated for not choosing the same path as they did. Thank you for sharing your work.

I am glad to see another person who respects the earth. If you so wish please seek more of these prayers. I too have known the hate of Christians, and I will stand by any who have known their hate.

I will read more and yes, others can be horribly judgmental and there is no need for it.

Nicely done. I love the topic so off the beaten path. Has a good draw pulling the reader through as well.

[Hypnos]

Thank you kindly

There are no words for how much I love this.

This is interesting... Why do you use two Greek gods though? Or rather Greko-Roman gods.

[Hypnos]

Because they are two of the most important gods. King of the gods and Mother Earth. Who better to witness an Oath?

[Eryn ♪]

I'm just curious. I would have used many different religions personally, but I can see you are a fan of Greek.

[Hypnos]

Indeed I am.

May the wishes be granted. Always enjoy reading you, Hypnos.
