Prayer

This is meant as an example, not a rule or expectation

O broad-bosomed Gaia, mother of all, Ancient Earth from whom all life arises, You who nourish gods and mortals alike, Grant me grounding and peace beneath your endless skies. Teach me to care for the living world with reverence, And to walk gently upon your sacred body. Accept these offerings given in gratitude. Hail Gaia, eternal mother of creation.
