These prayers should be done at night, between dusk and dawn.
Opening
"Hail Dark Lady of the Crossroads,
of wisdom hard-won,
grant me Thy blessing, purify my heart,
and teach me the truth of my soul;
show me that death is but the gateway to life.
Blessed Be."
Main Prayer
Lady,
In the velvet weave of night the
stars shine forth like independent
beacons of perception.
The air is filled with moist secrets while
the earth awaits the call of Spring...
You walk the night in
ebon splendor, the moon hung
on a braided chain upon
Your brow.
You have walked thus through centuries of time;
beyond time.
Memory of You is bound to the seasons
and the ever-present moon,
and the rich earth, moist and terrible.
Meditation
What do you wish to grow in the coming season?
Dream Images
In the Name of the Dark Crone: I see the sprouting of a seed; let it unfold and speak.
Closing Prayer
"I bow to Thee Hecate, Diana, Mari and thank
Thee for Thy blessing - the Cauldron of Night
full of life, and death, and life again;
Thy magic gives me wings.
Blessed Be."
