I gird myself with the two powers,
the deeps of the world’s chaos,
the height of the worlds order
and I between them like the world tree.
I gird myself with the power of the Magic couldron
with the inspiration of the fire of magic
with love to draw all good to me.
I gird myself with the power of the spirits
the might of the shining ones
the wisdom of the ancestors
the joy of the elder tribes
all meet in my soul
Today I gird myself with the elements of the world
the stars behind my eyes
my thoughts the clouds
the sun my face
cool moonlight my mind
my breath the wind
my blood the sea
my hair the Green bounty
my flesh the warm soil
eternal stone my bones
all the world is in me and I am in the world.
I gird myself with my goddesses power to direct me
with my gods wisdom to bear me up
their eyes to watch over me
their ears to hear me
their voices to speak to me
their hands to open my ways
their shield to ward me from the snares of spirits
from peril by land
from peril by sea
from peril of sky
from all who wish me fear
far or near
let these powers be upon me and in me
to make me equal to any challenge
to come between me and all that threatens my body or my spirit
that I may have the wisdom of the wise
love of loving
the power of the powerful
that I may be known and with honor in the inner realms.
Know me o mighty noble and shining ones.
Power above me
power below me,
power on my right hand,
Power on my left hand
power before me
Power behind me
in every eye
in every ear
in every mouth
in every heart
my magic is established.
I gird myself with ninefold powers
the fire the well the tree
the land the sky the sea
The gods the dead the sidhe
dwell with me and in me
forever
so be it!
