- I am lying down tonight,
- With Mother, with Maiden,
- With the Crone of Wisdom,
- Who shield me from harm.
- I will not lie down with Cythraul,
- Nor shall Cythraul lie down with me,
- But I will lie down with the Goddess,
- And the Goddess will lie down with me.
- Lady and Maiden and Sacred Crone,
- Within the Circle of the nine sacred flowers,
- Be protecting me as Three and as One,
- From the brow of my face to the soles of my feet.
- I charge Pwyll, I charge Arawn,
- I charge Modron, I charge Mabon,
- I charge the trustful Hounds of Annwn,
- To preserve me from hurt and harm;
- O from dying tonight!
- From dying tonight!
- Thou Queen of the moon and of mystery,
- Thou Maiden, daughter of the Goddess fair,
- Thou Crone, mother of the ancient gods,
- Keep thou us from the house of grief and doom,
- Keep us from the land of sorrow,
- From the house of grief and doom.
