Cosmic Mother

Oh Goddess Mother
You are the mystery of Night
Your radiant shine is the Day
Infinite realms cascade within You

Abundance is Your essence of Being

Your Universe is harmony and tension in Balance

Within each of us, You are Alive

Make Me Strong in Spirit

Make me strong in spirit
Courageous in action
Gentle of heart

Let me act in wisdom
Conquer my fear and doubt
Discover my own hidden gifts

Meet others with compassion
Be a source of healing energies
And face each day with hope and joy

~ Abby Willowroot © 1998

Daybreak


Just before the first glimmerings of dawn, the Great Crone sweeps across the sky and clothes the dying night in Her cloak. She wraps it tenderly and gently, enfolding each star, each galaxy, each universe in Her essence.

Slowly the Great Crone draws back Her cloak revealing gold, and pink, violet and the steely blue tones of first light. She is the Crone, Mistress of Re-birth. We honor Her as "Protectress of Endings" and "Birther of New Beginnings".

Dawn each day, is an affirmation of re-birth and a sacred ritual of the Crone's cycles and seasons.

Prayer of Becoming

May clarity grow within me
Open my eyes to life's many wonders
May I feel the pulse of all creation within me

Open my spirit to Awareness
Fill my heart with deeper Understanding
May my life be of service to Earth and the Goddess

Open my ears to the needs of those around me
Make my hands strong, sure, & gentle in your service
May I remember always, the Goddess works through me


~ Abby Willowroot © 1999

Deep in my Bone
the Goddess is alive
Deep in my cells and blood
the Life Force is strong
Deep in my heart and spirit
I believe I will heal

Elements Hymn

At one with the Universe
My spirit is free
All creation pulses in me

Floating upon the wind
Sparking with the energy of fire
Flowing with the waters
Dancing the rhythms of Earth

Spinning and Spiraling
into Elemental re-birth
The magic of being renews

Floating upon the wind
Sparking with the energy of fire
Flowing with the waters
Dancing the rhythms of Earth

Between the Moon and Sun

~ Abby Willowroot © 1999
 




A Winter Prayer

Oh sorrowful Demeter
Goddess who mourns

Night breath, cool and sharp
Bare branches quivering
Beneath the Moon

Crackling snow glistens
Small shadows scurry past
Shallow prints upon the crust

Silence split by whispers
Billowing crystals drift down
Caressing Earth in timelessness

Even in your sorrow, you offer gifts

~ Abby Willowroot © 1999



Prayer of Passage

Oh Goddess
There is great sadness
A cherished one has gone

Emptyness engulfs me
Loss languishes within
Help me bear this grief

Accompany their spirit
Comfort we who grieve
Let us rejoice in their life

May their essence be recorded
In the Great Book of Shadows
Renew our remembrance with joy

~ Abby Willowroot © 1999

Prayer for Strength


Goddess Mother help me
to be patient and strong
to see what is truly important
to act without selfishness or fear

Goddess Mother help me

~ Abby Willowroot © 2000



A Gathering Chant

The night is upon us
The sky is clear
We call upon the Goddess
and She is near

Children of the Goddess gather
Weaving webs of magick
Dancing circles through time
Chanting to the quarters
Re-membering an earlier time

The year moves in a sacred wheel
As the Goddess teaches us to heal
We heal ourselves and each other
We heal the Earth

Children of the Goddess gather
Weaving webs of magick
Dancing circles through time
Chanting to the quarters
Re-membering an earlier time

Our spirits know the way
To celebrate each day
We heal ourselves and each other
We heal the Earth
Re-birthing a saner time

Children of the Goddess gather
Weaving webs of magick
Dancing circles through time
Chanting to the quarters
Re-membering an earlier time

Invocation of the Crone

Behold the Crone...
Dancer of Time
Completion of the Sacred Cycle

She Who is Wisdom
Beloved, respected and feared
Honored as Grandmother, Ancestress and Hag

In the end ~ there is beginning,
Death brings Birth, Life renews through Her

Behold the Crone, Dancer of Time
Mother of worlds, Maiden of re-birth,
Child of the next generation

Dancing through Time
She Who cuts the cords…Of life and death,
Grandmother of all

The Crone comes……..
Silently, powerfully, relentlessly
Crossing space and time,
Holding the threads of life and death,
Mistress of endings and beginnings

Speaking through elders
I am the Crone….
The Grandmothers….The Wisdom of Age….

I am Hecate, I am Kali, I am the Eternal One

I cross space and time,
Holding the threads of life and death,
Mistress of endings and beginnings

I am completion of the Cycle
Maiden….. Mother….. Crone.....
I have come as the Goddess,
And in me... all life renews
All things are possible

The Crone comes dancing
Silently, powerfully, relentlessly,
To all

~ Abby Willowroot © 2000

A Prayer of Oneness

I release my isolation to the Stars
Breathing in the Energy that connects all things
Allowing my body to be caressed by Nature

Filling my lungs with eternal Breath
Filling my senses with the joy of Being Alive
Filling my heart with gratitude for this Moment

Finally allowing my Spirit to soar Free
I am a creation of the Universe
Eternal in my Essence

In time . . . when my life wanes
Returning my body to Star Dust
Held in the body of the Great Goddess
I will again be the Energy of Life

~ Abby Willowroot © 2000


Being

  

 This day

 I breathe in life's

 eternal energies

 with all creation

 
This day

 I eat other life

 sun filled energy

 nourishing my atoms

 with the life forces

 of another that lived

 plant, animal, fish, foul

 life that was, feeds me now

 
This day

 this hour

 this moment

 I spend my life

 energy held, leaves  

 my atoms flow outward

 mingling with all creation

 I am in all and all is in me

 Bless all life

She Who

Great Cosmic Mother
Sacred Life Force in All Things
She Who Creates from Her Own Source
All that is, was, and shall be Mirrors Her

She Who is the Spiraling Galaxies
Alive in the Stars, immenant in All Things
Endlessly becoming, spinning Life into Being
She Who speaks to us through the Wind and the Calm

She Who is Sacred Balance
Spiral Weaver of Truth and Wisdom
Her Sacred Texts are the Leaves and Grasses
Everywhere is Her Consecrated Ground, Her Temple

She Who, She Who is Many
The Brilliant Sparks of Her Essence
Pulsing & Alive in each Cell of our Body
The Vibrant Red Sea flowing through us All
Is the Sacred River of She Who is the Spiral Goddess

Today, I heal my body,

my mind, my spirit, my life,

and be the best parts of me
today, I am clean and free

Prayer for Release from Addiction

by Abby Willowroot © 2008


Addiction has siezed my soul

and I am in pain . . . hollow inside

control of myself and my life is gone

but, I pretend  that I am still in control

fear and rage mingle inside me, 

pushing anyone who loves me away

isolating me in my prison of drugs

a prison of regret, shame and grief

I live in the past  . . . and I live in the future

right now is a nightmare . . . and I can't wake up

 
Release me from my own addiction

open my heart to hope and life 

open my eyes to see I can escape into recovery 

make me dare to be willing . . . to let go of drugs

to let go of fear . . . self hatred  . . .and shame

help me let go of hopelessness


help me let go of people who drag me down

I want to leave people who use drugs behind

help me recognize those who really love me

and cling to them for dear life . . . for my life

help me to know that I can have a different life

a happy life . . . a dope free life . . . with hope


Today I will sleep . . . as much as I need to

today I will eat . . . and nurture my body 

today I will wash my body, and hair

today I will brush my teeth and get dressed

today, I will do one thing , that is  . . ."normal"


I will fight to trust myself . . . to be able to do

these simple things to help myself

and begin my return to sanity 

A different life . . . worth living, is waiting for me

life is . . . waiting for me to put down the drugs

life is . . . waiting for me to believe I can change

life is . . . waiting for me to allow myself to win,

 life is . . . ready to help me to allow myself to smile, to feel hope,

I want this life . . .  I will have to fight like hell to get to


I am willing, I am willing, I am willing to win

I am willing to be strong enough . . . to walk away

I am ready to be strong enough . . . to ask for help

I am ready to put down the drugs . . . that are killing me

I want to be free . . . of drugs and delusions 


Help me to be willing . . . to change

May my courage grow, and my spirit soar

my heart open . . .  my fears grow weaker

I am ready for a life . . . without drugs


I pray . . . help me to help myself today

awaken me . . . from this nightmare hell

Help my heart to know  . . . that hope is possible

and grow that hope within me . . . now !!!


I am ready . . . I am ready . . . I am ready . . .

to heal my body . . . my mind . . . my spirit . . . my life 

drugs are my past . . . they are NOT my future

 

for today . . . I will not use drugs

today . . . I am becoming whole

today . . . I am becoming my best self

one step at a time . . . one second at a time

one thought at a time . . . one action at a time

I am escaping this loaded nightmare from hell

Universal Divine

 ~ Abby Willowroot © 2008
 

I am better than my own prejudices
my heart is deeper than my own pettyness
my true spirit seeks the balance of harmony
my journey as a human can unite me with all

In our hearts, the eternal divine dwells
I call it by one name of my understanding
you call it by another name
and others call it by other names
the different names do not matter
divine is divine is divine and eternal
It has names beyond counting
each name is true and sacred

We are divided only by our own prejudices
threatened by our own fears of the unlimited
we see the indivisible power of spiritual eternity
and divide it into manageable bits of understanding
leaving the greater truths beyond our feeble grasp
clinging to a few facets of the unlimited divine
and defend our facets as the whole truth

the only truth we dare to see and accept

May my heart be open to understand more
open to celebrate the facets held sacred by others
knowing that their truth is as true as mine
each path and every  path  to the divine is sacred
and deserving of my deepest respect
call it God, Energy or something else
all names of the divine are true
sacred, eternal and magic


Blessing of Change


Bless this day and all who live it
open my eyes to ways of helping
give my heart over to my humanity
connect my spirit and my powers
spur my best self into action
 
I bless this day and all who live it
touching one heart spreads joy
sharing freely expands my heart
listening to others opens my mind
respecting others fuels my hope
 
I bless this day and all who live it
in small ways I am growing wise
in quiet ways I am learning now
in openness my spirit grows strong
in sharing, my life makes sense
 
I bless this day and all who live it
the essence in you is my essence
knowing our similarities frees me
feeling the sameness at our cores
unites us all as family of billions
 
I bless this day and all who live it
I reach out in kindness and spirit
you may learn to reach back in time
if I keep true and strong to being
the change I want to see in the world
 
Bless this day and all who live it

Invocation for Living Simply

 

Simple is calling to me

Fewer possessions

Less and less of everything

More conscious living

 

Simple is calling to me

Fewer manufactured needs

Less unconscious recreating

More sharing and  creating

 

Simple is calling to me

In a quiet, persistent, voice

At  all the edges of my mind

A new way to think is growing

 new ways of being are unfolding

 

Simple is calling to me

I am quietly listening

And answering now

With my action

 ~ Abby Willowroot © 2008

Simplicity Prayer

Simplicity is sacred
wonderful and wise
opener of spirit
bringer of inspiration
companion of peace
 
Simplicity is sacred
opening space in me
quiet and free
deliverer of calmness
vertile field of thought
 
Simplicity is sacred
a peace offered me
may I allow it in
to flourish within me
less is more
 
So mote it be

 Danu's Dance

Warm and moist beneath the hill

voices and laughter are soft and shrill

glints of light and shadows long move

dancing & merrying the long night thru

Danu's children in morning emerge anew


Slumber and waking each in their time

music and laughter interlace and combine

earnest crafts folk of diminutive size

dance with creativity before the eyes

and tumbling out the treasures come


The land is quiet and still above

no hint of the secrets within the hill

honey flows and mead is good

this  place between, below & above

the magic is and always was


Words are treasures polished bright

poems by day and rhythms by night

interlaces adorn each glowing page

painted in berry juice, pollen & gall

words slide into being for one and all


Words of Danu, Druides and Sages

thoughts and truths for the coming ages

never a care or woe is penned here

the land above is sleepwalking near 

beneath the hill each word is dear


Warm and moist beneath the hill

voices and laughter are seldom still

glints of light and flashes of fire glow

open secrets all the wee folks know

Danu's children are spun of light

 ~ Abby Willowroot © 2008

Pagan Prayer 

May my heart be gentle

my mind still and open

my spirit unshackled

my awareness keen

my conscience clear

my  nature giving

 

 May I be a healing energy

may I be of benefit to all

may my life enrich others

may I know what matters

and live in harmony with Nature

~ Abby Willowroot © 2008
