Benvenuto!
Benandanti Mabon Prayer
Bringers of destruction and darkness,
I embrace you tonight.
Without rage, we cannot feel love,
Without pain, we cannot feel happiness,
Without the night, there is no day,
Without death, there is no life.
Great goddesses of the night, I thank you.
Six months of light, and six months of dark.
The earth goes to sleep, and later wakes again.
O dark mother, we honor you this night,
And dance in your shadows.
We embrace that which is the darkness,
And celebrate the life of the Crone. Blessings to the
dark goddess on this night, and every other.
In her anger and sorrow, Demeter roamed the earth,
And the crops died, and life withered and the soil went
dormant.
In grief, she traveled looking for her lost child,
Leaving darkness behind in her wake.
We feel the mother’s pain, and our hearts break for
her,
As she searches for the child she gave birth to.
We welcome the darkness, in her honor.
