Queen of the Soulforge,
Mistress of Wolfsong
and Ravenlore,
set my heart on fire!
Kindle my soul
with your compassionate flame!
Evoke my creative spark,
with all that you divinely inspire!
Teach me. Nurture me.
Call my name!
Yours is the hand
that thrusts me
into the furnace
of soulful trial,
Yours the strength
that shapes me upon Life’s anvil.
Yours the loving laughter
that, even in darkness, makes me smile.
Sweet succor! Like you, may I inspire, feed others,
as the sweet berry at brambles’ heart;
Blossom, as the gentle Rose
admist bladed thorn.
Mother of Light and Shadow,
Healer & Destroyer, Fiery Arrow,
pierce my heart!
Through your eternal song I am reborn!
Maiden, Mother, Crone; holy well of wisdom,
Patron of healers, smiths, mothers, bards, poets…
Your braided crown bejeweled with stars,
is the beacon that lights my way.
Eternal Flame within the sacred Hearth,
ever-present,
you offer shelter ’neath your verdant mantle.
Honey-mouthed,
your songs bring victory, enlightenment, healing.
When my song is ended, carry me joyously onward,
O Monarch of the Fae!
Dedicated to the goddess Brighid
