Winter Magick Day 10:
A Prayer to the Lady Sun at the Winter Solstice
Great Lady who is the Sun,
The wheel of fire, radiant in Your glory,
Hear me as I honor You on this,
The shortest day of the year.
Summer has gone, passed us by,
the fields are dead and cold,
all of earth sleeps in Persephone's absence.
But even in the darkest times,
You light the way for those who
need a beacon of hope,
of brightness, shining in the night.
Winter is here, and colder days coming,
the fields are bare, seemingly empty.
Demeter mourns Her Daughter,
She journeys within, as do we,
In reflection, introspection, rest.
We light these candles in Your honor,
that You might gather Your strength
and bring life and warmth back to the world.
Mighty Lady Who is the Sun above us,
Lady Bright, Lady Light,
we ask You to return,
to bring back to us
the light and the warmth of Your fire.
Bring life back to earth,
Bring light back to earth.
Hail the Lady, the Golden Sun!
The original version of this prayer was written by Patti Wigington, About.com. As a Dianic Feminist witch, I took certain liberties with it and created a Dianic version to merge with my practice.
This version was created in 2008.
