Prayers, Chants, and Invocations of and to the Goddess & God

These prayers can be used to invoke the Goddess and God during ritual, just after the circle casting. Of course, any that you compose or are inspired to say can be used as well.

A few chants are also included to raise energy or to commune with the deities.

Some of these invocations rhyme, and some do not. This simply speaks of my ability to compose ryme, I suppose. But recall the power of rhyme--it links our conscious mind to the unconscious or psychic mind, therby producing ritual consciousness.

Invocation to the Goddess

Crescent one of the starry skies,
flowered one of the fertile plain,
flowing one of the ocean's sighs,
blessed one of the gentle rain;
hear my chant 'midst the standing stones,
open me to your mystic light;
waken me to your silver tones,
be with me in my sacred rite!

Invocation to Pan

O great God Pan,
beast and man,
shepherd of goats and lord of the land,
I call you to attend my rites 
on this most magical of nights.
God of the wine,
God of the vine,
God of the fields and God of the kine,
attend my circle with your love
and send your blessings from above.
Help me to heal;
help me to feel;
help me to bring forth love and weal.
Pan of the forests, Pan of the glade,
be with me as my magick is made!

Isis Invocation

Isis of the moon, you who are all that ever was,
all that is, and all that shall be;
come, veiled queen of night!
Come as the scent of the sacred lotus charging my circle
with love and magick.
Do descend upon my circle, I pray,
O blessed Isis!

Prayer to the Horned God

Horned one of the wilderness, 
winged one of the shining skies, 
rayed one of the splen'drous sun,
fallen one of the Samhain cries --
I call amidst the standing stones
praying that you, O ancient one,
will deign to bless my mystic rites --
O fiery lord of the blazing sun!

New Moon Chant to Diana

Waxing, waxing, growing, growing
Diana's power is flowing, flowing.
(repeat)

Call to the God

Ancient God of the forest deeps,
master of beast and sun;
here where the world is hushed and sleeps
now that the day is done.
I call you in the ancient way
here in my circle round,
asking that you will hear me pray
and send your sun force down.

Invocation to the Goddess

Gracious Goddess,
you who are the queen of the gods,
the lamp of night,
the creator of all that is wild and free;
mother of woman and man;
lover of the horned God and protectress of all the Wicca:
descend, I pray, with your lunar ray of power upon my circle here!

Invocation to the God

Blazing God,
you who are the king of the gods, lord of the sun,
master of all that is wild and free;
father of woman and man,
lover of the moon goddess and protector of all the Wicca:
descend, I pray, with your solar ray of power upon my circle here!

Goddess Chant

Luna, luna, luna, Diana
luna, luna, luna, Diana
bless me, bless me, bless me, Diana,
luna, luna, luna, Diana (repeat)

Hail fair sun,
ruler of day;
rise on the morn
to light my way.
(to be said while watching the sunset)

Evening Chant to the Goddess

Hail fair moon,ruler of night
guard me and mine
until the light.
(to be said while moon-gazing at night)
