Arvins - Lord of the Chase

 

Lord of the Chase

Hunter and hunted

Loved by elven and worshiped by men

You the silent listener

Who directs the passage of life and death

Keeper of balance

 

Teacher of children

Beneath the tree of wisdom

Giver of knowledge

With patience and love

          Hand held out gently

To each child who would learn

 

High Spirit from the dream of Ava

Strong God of the earth

Living and dying

Creating and destroying

panick and anguish of the hunted

Power and passion of the hunter

 

Horned one, Hunt Lord

Green Prince of the Forests

With watching golden eyes

You see all

Standing silent, bow at ready

To fell your prey

Raiwvynn

 

Come spend a night with me Bacchus

In merriment and song

As we revel in amethyst wine

And in fine company

 

With leafed crown and mantle green

You stand there virile Lord

And from the jug held in your hand

The grapes of life pour forth

 

The violet stream is flowing round

Its cure and healing balm

To sooth despair and loneliness

With friends who gather round

 

I turn to you and raise a glass

Be it of port or chardonnay

And with loud cheers for the joy of life

I down this glass and sway

 

So may the nectar of the gods

Flow abundant every day

And may my thanks forever rise

As I greet each brand new day

 

Raiwvynn

 

Play Sweetly O Pan

 Play sweetly O Pan

Great God of forest

Of flock and shepherd

Haunt of the shady copses

Dancer of the wild meadows

Coil enchantments

Around and about

Your melodies echoing

On whispering winds

By the river sing out

The thrill of the Chase

As when You scattered

Dragonfly and toad

Raising chaos

Causing ruin

As you perused Syrinx

Through the wilds

 

 

 

 

          Dance with glee

          Great God Goat Man

          Bringing of Joy to Olympus

          Wanderer of mount and vale

          Great lover of life

          Hunter and protector

          You the whisper of panic

          In the dark wildernesses

          Of our hidden shadows

          You the knife that cuts

          With a tricksters joke

          Opening our eyes

          To the truth within

          Play sweetly O Pan

Goddess Invocation

 

Herald of the seasons

Free, dancing maiden of the earth

You who is the wild wind in the trees

That ushers in the new seasons

You who is the gentle breeze

That whispers of warmth and peace

You who brings the bight sun

To warm the cold winter ground

You who is the fresh scent of newness

After the soft showers of spring

You who is the birdsong

And falls softly on listening ears

Gently awakening frozen hearts inspiring new life

 

I welcome You here with a quiet and grateful heart

Surround me with Your presence

And Your joyous song

 

Arms of the Mother

You whose cloak of blooming flowers and undulating grasses

Covers the earth with abundant hue

You who is the fertile soil

That nourishes our famished souls and bodies

You who is the strong elder tree

That provides shelter and cover from the noon day sun

You who is the summer sun

Shinning down to bring warmth and light

To bring growth and strength

To the smallest seed

To the giant oak

And to this humble child

 

I welcome You here with an open and expectant heart

Surround me with life and health

And fill me with Your light

 

Bearer of all life

You who voice is heard in the cry of the newborn babe

That grew from Your fertile womb

You who is the protective loving arms

That cherish and honour life

You who is the mother bird

Under whose protective wings I hide

You who is provision and sustenance

That provides for every need

You who is teacher and guide

Who brings us through every trial and lesson

Holding our hand

So we never fall

And never falter

 

 

 

I welcome You here with the trust of a child

Surround me with Your protective wings

And fill me with courage and comfort

 

Hands of time

You who is the golden fall leaves

Fluttering on cool autumn breezes

You who is hidden and seen in the mountains, seas and meadows

That hold Your knowledge and insight

You who is the wisdom of the ages

Gazing out from eyes sunken in Your weathered face

You who is the knowledge of eternity

Echoing in the caverns of the deep

Whispering through the mountain passes

Raging in the fiery light of the sun

Flowing in the soothing waters

And growing in the heart of this child

 

 I welcome You here with expectation

Quench my thirst with Your wisdom

And lead me into eternity

 

Goddess

Maiden, Mother and Crone

It is You I welcome here

In all Your manifestations

In all Your creation

And with all my love

 

Goddess Isis, Great mother

You who surrounds us with the light of love

You who holds Your children in Your arms

You who protects Your little ones beneath your wings

 

Your child beseeches You

To come and teach, guide, and heal

Pour forth Your wisdom on Your child

That she may grow in the light of knowledge

And be filled with insight and discernment

Lead Your daughter in the ways she should go

Instruct her in the mysteries

Of magick, life, death, love, and womanhood

Guide her heart and mind

 

Good Mother and Faithful Lover

Your little one cries out to you

Touch heart and mind

Heal and fill with love and compassion

Deepen her understanding of shadows and light

That she might know a more perfect joy

And that she may appreciate the value

Of tenacity, loyalty, devotion, and undying passion

Love her and fill her with Your grace

 

With the wonder of a small child

Your daughter reaches for Your hand

And thanks You for the blessing of Your presence
