Triple Goddess Prayer

Ave, Kore, maiden white,

Flower princess, our delight.

Give us back the mirth of youth,

Innocence, and joy, and truth.

In the morning, make us strong,

With energy the whole day long.

Hail, Demeter, mother red,

Woven grain about thy head.

Plenty flows from thy kind hand,

Strew thy grace upon our land.

As we bless our noonday bread,

By thy strength our souls are fed.

Ave, Hecate, dark crone.

Peace and rest are thine alone.

In the evening of this life,

When we cast off toil and strife,

Be with us as darkness falls.

Take us to thy blessed halls.
