Invocation of Nemetona: Autumnal Equinox 2015

This was the central prayer in my Equinox ritual for 2015. Feel free to use it, if you reprint it anywhere, please credit me and link to this post.

I call out to the goddess Nemetona,

The Green Lady, the Sanctifier, the Face in the Trees,

She who guards the Sacred Grove.

She who keeps the gates between worlds,

Steadfastly you have protected me,

I have sheltered in your groves and rested in your sanctuary.

Hail to you, Nemetona, because you are strong!

You have watched from on high, like a bird on the wing,

You have guarded all that is sacred,

From the smallest shrine, to the mighty standing stones,

You permeate the very ground with your presence

So my every step is holy.

Hail to you, Nemetona, because you are worthy!

I offer to you, Nemetona, to do you honor,

I bring you sweet spices and the fruit of the forest.

Rowan-crowned you wait among the trees

For the seeker to come to you.

Here I have come, Lady of Oak, Lady of Birch,

To lay offerings at your feet and bless you.
Hail to you, Nemetona, because you are Queen!
