THE BELTANE BLESSING

Bless, O Threefold Goddess,

Myself, my Coven, and my family,

My pets, my plants, and all children of the Great Mother.

On the fragrant plain, on the gay mountain sheiling,

On the fragrant plain, on the gay mountain sheiling.

Everything within my dwelling or in my possession,

From Beltane Eve to Samhain Eve,

From Samhain Eve to Beltane Eve,

With goodly progress and gentle blessing,

From sea to sea, and every river mouth,

From wave to wave, and base of waterfall.

Be thy Three Faces taking possession of all to me belonging,

Be the Watchtowers four protecting me in truth;

Oh! satisfy my spirit with the warmth of Belinos,

And shield my loved ones between the Beltane fires,

Shield my loved ones between the Beltane fires.

Bless everything and every one,

Of this little household by my side;

Place the pentagram of the Lady upon us

Till we see the Land of Promise.

What time the kine shall forsake the stalls,

What time the sheep shall forsake the folds,

What time the goats shall ascend the mount of mist,

May the tending of the Triad follow them,

May the tending of the Triad follow them.

Thou being who didst give me birth,

Listen and attend to me as I bow my head,

Evening and morning as is becoming in me,

In thine own Circle, O Goddess of Love.
