I am bowing my head In the eye of the Mother who gave me birth, In the eye of the Maiden who loves me, In the eye of the Crone who guides me in wisdom,
In friendship and affection.
Through thy gift of nature, O Goddess, Bestow upon us fullness in our need.
Love towards the Lady, The affection of the Lady, The laughter of the Lady, The wisdom of the Lady, The passion of the Lady, The blessing of the Lady, And the magic of the Lady
To do in the world of Abred, As the Ageless Ones do in Gwynfyd;
Each shade and light, Each day and night, Each moment in kindness, Grant us Thy Sight.
