Prayer

-Goddess of Life, We Beseech You-
:Translated from the S'Kra by Dzehath S'krohal

Hear me, you of the Silver Unicorn,
whether you are Berengaria the Nurturer
who drives the darkness away
and draws forth the golden grain from the black earth
to foster us who are bread-eating mortals;
Or whether you are Terrible Asketi,
queen of midnight terrors,
who burns the land with the cold north wind
when we fail to do proper honor to you;
Or whether you are Gentle Hodierna
who heals us as you heal the winter ravaged land --
O in whatever form you wish to appear,
by whatever name it is fitting to call you,
with whatever words you are pleased to be propitiated --
Come now and succor me in my hour of need.
If ever I have pleased you before with word or deed,
if ever I have shown you obedience and devotion,
then fulfill this prayer of mine now.
You planted in me the seed of life;
now I beg that you put an end to my pains and toils.

Is it some mortal who harms me?
Shield me from him.
Is it some immortal god whom I have angered?
Change anger to kindness.
Is it my fate?
Turn it aside.
Allow me to live blessedly.
Allow me to live gloriously.
I know well that this is in your power,
for you are the great goddess!
You are life!
