Winter SolstiCelebration Invocation

December 19, 2008 By 1 Comment

Just got back from the Moonlady Winter SolstiCelebration. I’ll post pictures or links to them once they get them up on the EarthRhythms site.

Here’s my part:

I am Britannia,
and by the Great Mother Anu and the Lord of the Animals,
from the standing stones of the Salisbury plain
and the sacred light and dark of Newgrange,
I give you the spirit of Boudicca, Arthur, Elizabeth, and Churchill.
I give you the power of the Earth, the Sky, and the Sea.
I give you the wisdom of the Oak,
the protection of the Rowan,
and the mystery of the Apple.

Gu robh beannachd nan diathan agus ar sinnsearan air an chiann

May the Gods and ancestors bless this, our family.

About John Beckett

I’m a Druid in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. I’m an ordained priest in the Universal Gnostic Fellowship. I’m the Coordinating Officer of the Denton, Texas Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans. This year I’m also serving as Vice President of CUUPS National. I’m a member of the Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

I write as a spiritual practice. It helps me organize my thoughts and work through ideas and concepts. It helps me evaluate my beliefs and practices against my core values and against what I know (or at least, what I think I know) to be true. It helps me interpret my experiences (religious and otherwise) in ways that are both meaningful and honest.

    I give you the wisdom of the total solar eclipse “Eye of God”, perhaps the “Eye of Woden” to you, much of which was transferred onto winter solstice celebrations since the winter solstice is a much more regularly occurring, albeit much less spectacular, “death” and “rebirth” of the sun. I give you ‘The Stone Of The Seven Suns‘ at Dowth (Place of Darkness), just down the road from Newgrange to underline that point.
