Imbolc Afternoon Prayer
This prayer should be done in the afternoon, between noon and 3pm.
Opening
"O God of Thunder, God of Might,
set aside Your lightning bolts
and take Your ease of Love with me.
You are the God of laughter!
You are the God of all delights!
Blessed Be."
Main Prayer
Lord,
The young Lord bursts
forth in joyous strength.
The Maiden dances
coyly away from Him.
seeking the shape of the doe.
The virile stag keeps pace with Her
as She becomes the wild dove
and He the stooping hawk.
She plummets into the raging stream,
fighting the rapids and rising
in rainbow splendor,
the God a burst of light
in Her wake.
They arise - jeweled dragons
in flight,
illuminated by the Sun.
The courting dance begins anew.
Meditation
How is the courting dance between you and your Beloved unfolding? What transformations have you experienced from realizing that He loves you?
Daily Affirmation
In the Name of the God: I will accept the God's love in my life today.
Closing Prayer
"Thanks to Thee, Lord of the Dance,
for leading me into the deeper mysteries
of the heart.
Be with me now and always.
Blessed Be."
