Blessing of the Moon

Lorica of the Moon

The blessing of the Moon 

Sister of Shadows

Lantern of Pathways

Gatherer of Tides

The blessing of the Moon

Watcher of the wakeful

Seeker of the Lost

Soother of the Mourning

The blessing of the Moon

Guardian of dreams

Mirror of souls

Wellspring of tears

The blessing of the Moon 

Sharpness of birth

Crescent of hope

Roundness of fulfillment

The blessing of the Moon

Angel of the desert

Witness in the garden

Mourner at the tomb

The blessing of the Moon

This night and every night

From the solace of sunset

'til the promise of dawn

Blessed Be

A Lorica is a breastplate prayer

-a prayer of protection 

Shield of the Morning

Be my Shield

I call on the Sacred Three

To be with me this day

To be Life so that I may live

To be Love so that I may love

To be Hope so that I may hope

I call upon the Father

To be my shield and my breastplate

To give me the strength to do my duty

As the defender of what is true

And to know my duty is to Life

To protect the weak and the helpless

To seek the better Way.

I call upon the Son

To be my Path and my Pathfinder

To find the roads of the Kingdom

To give me a heart that sees the truth

In a world where truth is led astray

To see beneath the grime of distrust

To the shining light of goodness.

I call upon the Spirit

To be my eyes and my sentinel

To give me wisdom and courage

So that I may act with integrity

To be a hand of mercy

To bring hope in darkness

To do what is right

The Sacred Three to be with me

To be my shield

This day and forever.

Amen
