10/16/2004: "Beloved Brigid of the Triple Flame Invocation"

Beloved Brigid of the Triple Flame,
Daughter of the Dagda,
Guardian of the Sacred Springs
Whose Voice is the soul of the harp
We Call on Thee

Teach our hands to heal and our hearts to sing.
We entrust our life's progress to your care and ask that you shape us,
bending and turning our hearts on your bright anvil of flame
till we are made perfect jewels
fit to be set in the eye of your timeless harp,
to play for the soul of the people in times of sorrow and times of celebration.
We thank you for your gifts to us of Poetry and music of laughter and tears,
and for the healing balm of your wisdom.
May we always remember to meditate on the gifts of your sacred waters,
which surround us at our birth
and sail us to our destiny.
Our hearts are open to receive your blessings.
Midwife of our souls, rain on us, shower your inspiration in curtains of song
from sacred waterfalls in the realm where you dwell.
Come to us as virgin with the soft smell of flowers.
Come to us as Mother and feed us your fruits.
Come to us as the Wise Woman in the stark blasts of winter.
Help us to see your mystery in all creation, that we may know gratitude and reverence.
Our hearts sing to you with love
Teach us to change like the revolving seasons
Teach us to grow like the green corn that feeds the people
Teach us to fashion beauty like the stillness of the forest pool
and the roar of the ocean wave
Teach us to heal like the soothing gem which cools the eyes and restores the limbs.
With humility and bright expectation
We invoke thee this hour!
