Prayer to the Great Mother

And Thou, great Mother,

Spirit of Comfort, blest, divine:

Descend Thou upon me and depart not.

Fill me to overflowing,

that I might sing unto the children of men

The song of your wisdom.

Come, great Mother,

Most blessed of the heavenly hosts,

And lift me nearer unto Thee,

And upon Thy bosom shall I take rest,

And in the comfort of Thy arms find sweet repose.

For I am as a tender bough made ready just for Thee,

Breathe Thou upon me, and I shall dance.

Before all nations of the earth shall I make known

The greatness of your love.

For all my days have you established in joy and honor,

That peace and grace might make noble the humble habitation.

Behold how great the Mother is, even the Holy Spirit;

For she draws up her robes round about her and it is night.

She looses the string of her garment and it is day again.

Surely the stars are become as a crown upon her head,

And the sun has the Father set as a jewel upon her heart.
