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 third Raiðo supporter for Hermes Poikilomêtês.
The door of Hades swings open for You
The Dead follow You down
You, who lead mighty Heracles to and from the depths
Bless the passing of the Dead
O fleet-footed God
Who blesses the limbs of thieves and pursuers
The hungry soul is fed and the greedy one is denied
Justice given from many ways
Whose eyes are full of stars
The grand cosmos uncoils
The beautiful dance of all things in the Starry Sky
You teach well to astronomer, astrologer, and seeker
Who sees and knows the smallest dance
The microscopic and subatomic in the deepest parts of Earth
The vibrating dance of all things
You teach well to the scientist, the engineer, and seeker
You who knows well the ways
The rivers of the body and the bending of disease to cure
The knitting of flesh, bone, mind, and spirit
You teach well to the doctor, nurse, medic, counselor, and seeker
Teacher, instructor, initiator
Wise and wily beyond reckoning
Counter and clever, ever-reaching for knowledge and wisdom
Hail to You, Hermes Poikilomêtês!
