Top of Page A Child's Prayer "Goddess of my Mother, God of my Father, I ask your Messenger to arrive, Take this chant, take this spell, And keep us safe this night. Let the dreams keep this night, And show us all our way, To travel safe, to learn a truth, To understand our faith. Let no one enter that place of thought Except our Spirit's guide. Let my guide take my hand, And show that which I must learn. Let me awake when sun light shines, To show my mother's face. Take this prayer, take this chant, make this spell to work. Keep us children in your hands, forever safe. As above, so below, forever in your grace." Top of Page A Witch's Blessing "A witch's blessing on your head, As you lie on your soft bed. May the Lord and Lady bless and keep You as you drift off to sleep."

In its quiet glowing light, Send to me a dreamy night." - Arnemetia Top of Page A Prayer for Protection Cup your hands as if holding a ball of white light, then say: Bright light, white light, Take away my fright. Don't let the darkness scare me, There's nothing here to fear. Let me sleep the whole night long. For I am safe in here. White light, bright light." Toss the ball into the air and visualize it bursting to fill the entire room with its protective light. - by Tannev Top of Page A Prayer to All the Powers That Be "Day is done, It's time for bed. Goddess bless my sleepy head. Earth and water, Air and fire, Bring gentle dreams as I retire. When the morning sun does rise, The God will bless my open eyes." Top of Page A Prayer to the Ruling Powers "Now I lay me down to rest, I pray that ll the world be blessed. Lady Moon and Sister Star Watch over me from afar. Mother Earth is always there And keeps me safe within her care. The Lord of Dreams will dance and sing, And happy dreams will to me bring. And when I wake to greet the day, Brother Sun will light my way. Top of Page Angels The Land of Fae
