If you want to submit a request for a prayer, poem, or song to be written to you privately or to be posted on this blog or my Patreon for a God, Ancestor, or spirit, sign up for the Ansuz and above level here on my Patreon. This prayer was requested from my first Ansuz patron for An Morrígan.
Your croaking voice fills the expanse
Echoing across field and in the forest
The waters that wend speak of You
The ground and grave bow below You
The poet’s tongue is loosened in Your sight
The warrior’s sword slides from its sheath
The seer’s senses are true
Following the flight of the Phantom Queen
The home and the hearth know You
Protector and Purpose-bringer
Ember-eyed and Byre-blesser
Babe-Guardian and Foe-Bane
Raven-haired river-maker
Glorious Goddess of gun and grave
Whose hands help Her people
Standing strong in strife and sorrow
May our gifts be gladly made
Our offerings given in good worth
In turn may we receive well
Bond unbroken, beautiful and blessed
Wind and flame warn of war’s path
Sharpen wit, weapon, and work
Prepare and gather in power and perseverance
So the Sovereign speaks in crows’ song
Several astonishing alliterations in this powerful piece! Well wrought, faithful friend!
