Faery Prayers
Source unknown
This offering can be used as a daily prayer or ritual invocation. To begin, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. You may want to light a Faery Candle to help you draw in the energies of the Sidhe. Sit comfortably, relaxing your body with rhythmic breathing. Allow your mind to settle, releasing any errant thoughts. When you feel completely calm and at peace, ring a small bell three times, and begin your prayer. As you speak, visualize images of the Good Folk. See the light of their spirits gathering all around you. Say the prayer one or three times, and then ring the bell seven times. Wait in silence for any communion or communication the Faery might offer. You may be wondering why prayer is part of some types of paganism when it's only "supposed to be part of christinaity." In fact, there are prayers in many traditions in the way of rituals or even incantations. Prayer is simply a word for the conversations between yourself and the divine. If this still is a difficult concept for you, I will mention that the fae are often equated with angels and many many people all over the world often pray to angels.
Prayer Of The Sylphs
Spirit of Life, Spirit of Wisdom whose breath giveth forth and
withdraweth the form of all living things; Thou, before whom the Life
of Beings is but a shadow which changeth, and a vapor which
passeth; Thou who mountest upon the clouds, and who walketh upon the
wings of the wind; Thou who breathest forth, and endless Space is
peopled; Thou who drawest in Thy breath and all that
cometh from Thee returneth unto Thee; ceaseless Movement in Eternal
Stability, Be Thou eternally blessed! We praise Thee and we bless
Thee in the changing Empire of created Light, of Shades, of
reflections, and of Images and we aspire without cessation unto Thy
immutable and imperishable brilliance. Let the Ray of Thine
Intelligence and the warmth of Thy Love penetrate even unto us; then
that which is volatile shall be fixed, the shadow shall be a body, the
Spirit of Air shall be a soul, the dream shall be a thought. And no
longer shall we be swept away by the Tempest, but we shall hold
the bridles of the Winged Steeds of Dawn, and we shall direct the
course of the Evening Breeze to fly before Thee. O Spirit of Spirits,
O Eternal Soul of Souls, O imperishable breath of Life, O
Creative Sigh, O mouth which breathest forth and withdrawest the Life
of all Beings in the Flux and Reflux ebb and flow of thine Eternal
Word which is the Divine Ocean of Movement and of Truth.
Amen.
Prayer Of The Undines
Dread King of the Sea, who hast the Keys of the floodgates of Heaven
and who enclosest the subterranean Waters in the cavernous hollows of
Earth; King of the Deluge and of the Rains of Spring; Thou who
openest the sources of Rivers and of Fountains; Thou who commandest
moisture, which is like the blood of the earth, to become the sap of
plants: We adore thee and we invoke thee!
Speak thou unto us Thy inconstant and changeful creatures in the great
Tempests of the Sea, and we shall tremble before Thee. Speak unto us
also in the murmur of limpid waters, and we shall desire thy
love. O Vastness wherein all the Rivers of Being seek to lose
themselves, which renew themselves ever in thee. O Ocean of infinite
perfection's! O Height which reflectest Thyself in the Depth! O
Depth which exhalest thyself into the Height! Lead us into Immortality
through sacrifice, that we may be found worthy one day to offer unto
Thee the Water, the Blood, and the Tears, for the remission of Sins!
Amen.
Prayer Of The Salamanders
Immortal, Eternal, Ineffable and Uncreated Father of All, borne upon
the Chariot of Worlds, which ever roll in ceaseless motion; Ruler
over the Ethereal Vastness, where the Throne of Thy Power is
upraised, from the summit of which Thine eyes behold all, and Thy
pure and Holy ears hear all, hear Thou Thy children, whom thou hast
loved since before the Ages began. Thy Majesty Golden, Vast and
Eternal, shineth above the Heaven of Stars! Above them art Thou
exalted, O Thou Flashing Fire! There Thou illuminateth all things
with Thine insupportable Glory, whence flow the ceaseless streams of
splendor which nourish Thine Infinite Spirit. This Infinite Spirit
nourisheth all, and maketh that inexhaustable treasure of generation
which ever encompasseth Thee, replete with the numberless forms
wherewith Thou hast filled it from the beginning. From this Spirit
arise those most Holy Kings, who surround thy Throne and who compose
Thy court. O Universal Father! One and Alone! Father alike of
Immortals and of Mortals! Thou hast created Powers marvellously like
unto Thy thought Eternal and unto Thy venerable Essence. Thou hast
established them above the Angels who announce Thy Will to the World.
Lastly, thou hast created us third in rank within our Elemental
Empire! There our continual exercise is to praise and to adore Thy
desires! There we ceaselessly burn with Eternal Aspiration unto Thee!
O Father! O Mother of Mothers, O Archetype Eternal of Maternity and
of Love! O Son, the flower of all Sons! O form of all forms, Soul,
Spirit, Harmony and Numeral of all Things!
Amen.
Prayer Of The Gnomes
O Invisible King Who, taking the Earth for Foundation, didst hollow
its depths to fill them with Thy Almighty Power. Thou Whose Name
shaketh the Arches of the World! Thou who causest the Seven Metals to
flow through the veins of the rocks! King of the Seven
Lights! Rewarder of the subterranean Workers! Lead us into the
desirable Air and into the Realm of Splendor. We watch and we labor
unceasingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the
Holy City, by the buried Talismans, by the Axis of the Lodestone
which passes through the center of the Earth. O Lord, O Lord, O Lord!
Have pity upon those who suffer. Expand our hearts, detach and upraise
our minds, enlarge our natures. O Stability and Motion! O Darkness
veiled in Brilliance! O Day clothed in Night! O Master who never dost
withhold the wages of Thy Workmen! O Silver Whiteness! O Golden
Splendor! O Crown of Living and Melodious Diamond! Thou
who wearest the Heavens on Thy Finger like a ring of Sapphire! Thou
who hidest beneath the Earth in the Kingdom of Gems, the marvelous
Seed of the Stars! Live, reign, and be Thou the Eternal Dispenser
of the Treasures whereof Thou hast made us the Warders!
Amen.

Mist-clad in the light of the moon
Starspun seekers - I search for thee!
Faery light - I ask thy boon
Of branch and thorn and Elder tree!
Wood woven creatures, shadow weavers
River keepers - come to me!
Just beyond reaching
Never in keeping
Spirits of Faery - I call unto thee!
Wind-hewn wildness
Dark and brightness
Spiral enchantments - born of the sky!
Cradle me with eleven hands,
Abide with me, thy human child!
When you are ready to return to your ordinary consciousness, ring the bell three times and with deep full breaths, inhale vital energy and vitality. Record any special experiences in a journal so that you will retain them in full detail |
