Prayer 1

Welcome beloved Artemis, our keen-eyed queen, I beg you hear me now. I pray you guide me that I might find the way. I pray you strengthen me that I might persevere along it. Make my discernment as yours that I might find worthy aims. Make my instinct as yours that I might seize worthy opportunities. Welcome sister of Apollo, golden huntress, we honor and thank you.

Prayer 2

Fleet-footed Artemis, keen-eyed daughter of Zeus and gentle Leto, sister of bright Apollo, we see your shadow in the woods, the curve of your bow, the flex of your arm, we hear the wind whisper as your arrows seek their mark–deadly your art, flawless your aim. Huntress you are, O Artemis, slayer of the stag and the boar, slayer of men and of women, death by your hand is death unforeseen. Maiden are you, goddess, and friend of maidens; ever-youthful one, your favor falls on the young, watching over young girls as they brave the world’s wonders, comforting the mother in the throes of her labor, keeping in your care the newborn babe. Artemis, shining maid of the wilderness, who takes pleasure in games, in contest and in merriment, who leads the nymphs in their carefree dance, whose clear voice we hear in the songs of young women and the hunter’s cry. Artemis, strong and tall, I praise and honor you.

3rd Prayer 

I praise bright Artemis, fair as the budding branch, fair as the spotted fawn, brave as the young bear. From crafty Hephaistos you took the artful bow, the sharp-barbed shafts; from father Zeus you claimed your calling. Far-shooting Artemis, through the thick of the darkened wood you make your way, trailing boar and hare, swiftly and silently, your aim ever flawless, ever kind.

Prayer 4

Artemis, light-bringer, mountain-dweller, graceful one who runs through thorn and thistle with never a scratch, goddess unparalleled, friend of mothers in their travels, friend of maidens, friend of the pretty nymphs, in old Arcadia you roamed the wilderness, in Tauris you took the blood of men, in Ephesus you wore the mural crown. The fire of youth is in you, goddess, the bold and valiant spirit that marks a child as yours. Free-hearted Artemis, worthy daughter of Leto, I honor you always.

5th Prayer

I praise you, Artemis, free-hearted child of Zeus and blessed Leto, courageous goddess who roams the wildwoods with silver bow at hand. Artemis of many names, Artemis of many lands, your temples stood shining and tall, in cities and in villages. In the long days of summer the maidens dance in your honor; in Brauron were the little she-bears under your care. Artemis, the mountains are yours to wander, fleet-footed and firm of step; the wilds of the world are dear to you, O guardian of wood and of beast. Goddess who takes joy in dance and song, companion of the laughing nymphs in all their play, of all young maids you are the swiftest and the strongest, the fairest and the first, in skill and grace the greatest.

Artemis

Morning Blessings

Oh Artemis, untamed and free,

Goddess of dawn, we call to thee.

Beneath the sky's awakening hue,

Grant us strength to face the day anew.

Mistress of wilderness and wild,

Guide us through challenges, undefiled.

With bow in hand and crescent moon,

Lead us to paths unknown, attune.

Protector of creatures, both great and small,

Watch over us as we heed nature's call.

Grant us courage, your spirit's grace,

In morning's embrace, we find our place.

Artemis, with your arrows keen,

Illuminate our hearts with purpose unseen.

As dawn breaks forth with golden gleam,

Bless us with your light, a sacred dream.

Untamed goddess, by your side we stand,

In morning's silence, your blessings expand.

Guide us through shadows, help us see,

A world of potential, as we greet destiny.

a list of affirmations to Artemis

Divine Artemis, I embrace your strength and grace as I navigate my journey.

Like the moon's phases, I honor the cycles of growth and change in my life.

With your guidance, I am empowered to protect and care for the natural world.

As you guard the wild creatures, I nurture compassion and respect for all living beings.

Artemis, help me find the courage to explore uncharted territories within myself.

In your light, I uncover the depths of my intuition and trust in its wisdom.

I am one with nature, reflecting your untamed spirit in my own actions.

Through challenges, I draw from your resilience and determination to overcome.

As the bow bends, so too do I adapt and learn from life's lessons.

Your presence ignites the fire of independence and self-reliance within me.

In the stillness of the forest, I find solace and connection to my inner self.

Artemis, guide me to stand firm in my beliefs and protect what I hold dear.

I honor the balance between light and darkness, knowing both are integral to life.

With your blessings, I embrace my unique qualities and walk my path authentically.

As the moon waxes and wanes, I embrace the ebb and flow of my own growth.

I am a guardian of justice, drawing inspiration from your sense of fairness.

Artemis, grant me the strength to overcome obstacles and emerge triumphant.

Through your example, I cherish my autonomy and assert my boundaries.

With gratitude, I embrace the wild beauty within me and around me, guided by your spirit.

Wiccaning/Paganing/Saining

Baptism is the ceremony where parents and a priest bless a baby in the name of the Christian God and signifies that the child will be brought up Christian.

 Wiccaning, also known as paganing and saining, on the other hand is what happens when a baby is blessed with protection, health, and happiness. There is no obligation or strings attached that bind you to any one religion or practice, and wiccaning can be adapted to any religion. 

“The Wiccaning is a magickal ceremony for the parents to seek wisdom and guidance, and set their own intentions as they responsibly guide their child in understanding of our world.“ - Michelle 

This ceremony is done like so:

Create a traditional altar, adding items such as a special garment and a special amulet for the child to wear that will grant them protection throughout life. Other than that, add the basics such as tributes to each element, gods and ancestors, and whatever tools you may use to create your sacred space

Create a sort of a temple by casting a circle around the altar. This is around when you would light the candles and incense and whatever else

Next, the parents of the child will carry it to the altar while any attending guests will form a circle around them

There are certain words that should be said here, but it largely varies per group and intent, so just do your research and practice a script beforehand

Finish the ceremony by closing the circle however it is traditionally closed 

There is a separate wiccan ceremony of induction called an initiation, and it requires having been studying for a year and a day after declaring ones dedication to the craft. After the initiation, there is more study and practice required of course, but the initiation is a proclaiming to anything and everything that you are a regularly practicing witch.

Wiccanings may also be merged with naming ceremonies, in which the only change would be in the words the parents speak. In this, they will do the ceremony specifically on the tenth day after the baby’s birth.

Daily Spell: August 18th

Offering Spell to the Spirits of the Home

You’ll Need:

A green candle

A piece of freshly bakes bread

The Consualia was an ancient festival held annually on August 18th to honor Consus, a God not only of the harvest, but also of stored grain. In addition to honoring this agricultural duty, offerings were made to the layers, or household gods. This helped and shared that the home would be blessed throughout the coming here. Well, you may not have a formal alter to the gods or spirits of your home, you can still do this cell. Consider your house a sacred space and treated accordingly. Do this working in the kitchen, at the spot where you typically prepare food.

Light the candle and say “Spirits of my household, I ask you to watch over us. Keep all who live here prosperous and well.”

Place the bread in front of the candle, saying “I offer you bread, this gift from my hearth, as a token of my gratitude.”

Take a moment to think about the blessings your home has received in the past, and the ones you'd like to see in the coming year and extinguish the candle.

Color of Feather

White: a sign from an angel, or a recently passed loved one

Black: a call to spiritual action or self exploration

Red: passion or love to come

Gray: a time of peace is coming

Blue: communication, peace, protection
