Prayer to the Muses

Sisters of the spoken word

Ladies of all artistry
Nymphs of Mind who ride ones thoughts
Who give and offer, tease and taunt
Born of storm and memory

I call thee Ladies, to inspire
The graceful, glorious, gifted Nine
I Name thee Muses and call ye forth
To imbue my Craft with creative force
To give shape to what I can’t define

A Prayer to Dionysus

Dionusos, send your blessing

Relieve me of my mortal pains

Fill me with your healing madness

Before I drive myself insane

Blessed Bakkhus, bring oblivion

Let me sleep a dream-filled sleep

Send your wisdom-laden liquid

To drag me down into the deep

Eleuthereus, emancipator

Relax my body and my mind

Fill my lungs up with your visions

Show me what I need to find

Nyktipolos who prowls the night

Drown out my hurt with ecstasy

Through lust and pain and violent loving

Set my mind and spirit free

Kharidotes – who brings grace

Inspire me in words and rhyme

Ease the passage of my thoughts

And turn them into flowing lines

Dionusos send your blessings

Let me see with mystic sight

Let me wander in your shadows

Until I’m ready for the light

Hellenic Prayer Beads and Prayers for Each of the Gods Represented

This is my set of prayer beads; each bead represents a deity in the Hellenic pantheon (and Inanna, who is Sumerian).

This is which deity each bead represents, starting with the bead symbolizing Hestia (Hestia,is always the first and the last)
