Sceau de l’Archange Gabriel
“Il se doit d’être invoqué un jeudi avant l’aurore. Son pouvoir est très grand et il peut faire un grand bien, à travers lequel il t’instruira.”
- extrait du Grimoire d’Armandel
Thine is the skill of the Fairy Woman,
Thine is the virtue of Bride the calm,
Thine is the faith of Mary the mild,
Thine is the tact of the woman of Greece,
Thine is the beauty of Emir the lovely,
Thine is the tenderness of Darthula delightful,
Thine is the courage of Maebh the strong,
Thine is the charm of Binne-bheul.
From The Invocation of the Graces
Your fire, my focus,
Your fire, I see,
Your brightness, my power,
Your power, in me.
Your fire, my purpose,
Your fire, so pure,
Firm up my resolve,
Make my purpose endure.
Your fire, so dazzling,
Your fire, so bright,
Inspire my efforts,
Fill me with delight.
Your fire, it fills me,
Each cell shines with light,
Your fire, it heals me,
The dark, and the bright.
Great Brighid, my Goddess,
Your fire fills my heart,
I live in your beauty,
Your wisdom, your art.
Please stay with me always,
The spark of my way,
To guide me and teach me,
Oh queen of the Fey,
To know that I name thee
My honor’s desire,
My signpost, my touchstone,
My Goddess of Fire.
Prayer to Sekhmet for Health
Breathe onto me, Sekhmet, Lady of Power, Mistress of Fire, and let your breath burn away all that is impure
Breathe onto me, Sekhmet, Ruler of Disease, Mother of War, and let your breath make me clean and free of evil
Breathe onto me, Sekhmet, Goddess of Life, Bringer of Death, and lift me in your strength and vitality
Oh Sekhmet, thrower of spears that bring terror onto men, one who inflicts misery, do not let your rage blind you and make you forgetful
Remember my prayers, oh lioness, that I gave in my service to you
Remember the hymns I sang to you with fervor
Remember, oh goddess, the offerings I have laid out before you, and the love and loyalty I have given as your child and servant
Guardian of Heaven, Guardian of Ra
Praise be to you, she who has all nations underfoot, she who delights in the blood of all beings
Praise be to you, giver of health, wielder of every spell and potion that gives relief
Praise be to you, giver and taker of affliction, subduer and rallier of illness
Destroyer of demons, destroy the impure ones that torment me
Slayer of the wicked, slay the cold ones that bring me plague
Killer of my enemies, kill the evil that resides in my flesh
With your mighty breath, I am cleansed
With your mighty breath, I am cured
With your mighty breath, I live again
Hail Sekhmet!
