This prayer 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,
Dark Lady of the Autumn,
of fire-tipped trees
and glowing flame,
of wild, star dappled nights,
bless this time of harvest,
both of the earth and
of the spirit.
Fill me with dreams of foretelling;
for You are silent save in dreams.
Fill me with wisdom;
for You are the Lady of the Wise.
Prepare me for Winter's stillness;
for revelation springs from the Great Silence
and I shall have visions
and prophesy in Your holy Name.
Meditation
Light and dark; positive and negative; birth and death. Where are you in the balance of opposites?
Dream Images
In the Name of the Dark Crone: I see the coming of the Crone..
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."
