Blessed and clear
My vision remains
My mind is still
My view of you is

Great Goddess of the light of reason
Great Goddess of the wise
Great Goddess of the great walls that protect and define us

Blessed and empowered
I am made
I seek to remain
I thank you for

Great Goddess of the city
Great Goddess of strategies
Great Goddess that defends civilization from barbarity

Blessed and assured
I feel this day
Sure of my place here
Standing with your grace

Great Goddess of the citadel
Great Goddess of the shield
Great Goddess of Olympian fame

To Persephone

Give me your breath
That I may breathe
The cool Spring air
That I may smell the rich earth
And the scent of the greening grass

Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life

Give us your power
That we may feel energized
As your journey comes to en end
From the nebulous depths
To the clear blue dome of heaven

Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life

Give us your laughter
That we too may laugh
In the blooming of the earth
And the returning song of birds
Calling into the skies

Come forth dread lady
Come into the light
Hear our song and follow it forth
Into the warming sun
That brings you to life


Statue: Marble 5th century BC statuette of Persephone found in Piraeus, now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens Greece.
