IV. Ritual Covenant
Balotehrah: Within my hand, I hold the symbol of Great Mother.
I swear by the land that is your body and breast,
I shall follow always in your ways!
For I am a spiral of life in your hands
that desires your blessing.
In my other hand, I hold the symbol of Great Father.
You are the life-force within the land!
The nestle within the trees of the forest
You are the rumblings within the Earth!
When I hear you, I shall know,
you have joined with my Sacred Mother.
Knowing that all life is death and death is life.
I do swear, I shall never kill for meat.
I shall protect the hearth fire.
I shall honor the herbs, the trees and all living creatures.
I shall guard the holy springs.
I shall always give the wisdom you teach me,
as healer, midwife, the dancer,
and above all, your priestess.

IX. Invocation of Brighid
Priestess and
Priest: Blessed be to you Bridget!
Maiden light of Heaven,
Whose sacred flame
Burns secretly in all hearts.
Give us faith, courage, inspiration and strength.
Guide us through this dark age.
This initiation of death.
Spread your veil, your mantle.
Prepare us for the New Birth.
Blessed be to you, Brighid our Lady!
Your starry wand,
Embraces together,
All of the worlds.
Share with us
The power to transform,
To trans-mutate,
The atrocities, the hatred, the fear.
Bestow sovereign justice,
Balance, Beauty and fertility.
In the name of the Mother
the Father, the Daughter and the Son
The Sister and the Brother.
