Prayer to the Aspects

U33FM8E.png

Prayers to the Aspects should be spoken after a material offering has been given. The Aspects are primordial beings, their life-force and spirit encompasses all natural living things. Thus the prayers spoken to honour and beseech boon from them are broad and diverse.

 

Essense of War

Spoken by Mali’ame warriors before going into battle. They are to drink the essence of Cernunnos, a vial of boar’s blood, before speaking these words.

     

Common:

“O’ Lord of Death, strengthen my arm:

In our time of need, I beg you to come to your people’s aid.

Fill my heart with the honor of those past as I face this newest trial

As we remember you in all our earthly troubles.

 

Benevolent mother, wipe fear from my heart:

Never abandoning your children, always tender,

Preserve me that I may see my children and yours live,

I place my trust in you to hold my life from the end.”

     

Elven:

“O’ Laurir’Orkina, kae’leh wy’anuh ceruereh

Ito kaean’leh enet’adiln, kae nae’leh lye medinera adontere.

Nae kae’leh taliyna lentere il’Sirame bilokereh, ay’kinal karin’ento

Wyl kaean nae peritherae, ito kaean’leh lluman.

     

Haelun’Lle, lluman kae’leh hiylun myumiera’onn:

Partuva nae’leh y’Malii suliera, partuva llean.

Kae’leh hiylun evara, iyal kae’leh nae’leh Malii’ehya yallran oerneh suliere, karinto.

Kae ay’nae halere, kae’leh hiylun taynan’ehya tennae kae’leh eth myumiera.

     

Heart of the Hunt

To thank the Aspects for a successful hunt. Spoken after an offering from the hunt has been prepared and gifted.

     

Common:

“O’ father of the hunt,

Blessed be to this bounty, whose hide will clothe our young,

Whose flesh will fill our stomachs.

As we take from your realm, we give back

So our souls may be one with the great balance”

     

Elven:

“O’ Maln’Orran,

Aheral ito iyl fihn, tuvehn kaen’leh Maliian evareh,

Taliiynan’ehya kaean’leh hilyunan fihereh karin’ento.

Kaean nae’leh tuvan, kaean illerae’yem

kaeanleh’ehya hiylunan ito tal’Meracahe orern lenterih karin’ento.”

     

New Beginning

Done during Spring, the season of rebirth. A prayer spoken after offering a braid of one’s hair to the Aspects, beseeching a new beginning.

     

Common:

“O’ compassionate mother,

I offer you a piece of my essence,

So that you may imbue me with your sacred breath,

And reform my soul anew,

Free of the burdens on my shoulders.”

 

Elven:

“O’ Haelun’Lle,

Kae’leh tal’hiylun nae illere,

Iyal il’nae’leh aheral iheiuhii kae illereh,

Kaeleh’ehya hiylun fiyem bilokera

tilrunen’onn myumin y’kae’leh.”

     

The Essence of Healing

A prayer spoken by healers seeking the mother’s grace when treating a patient. They are to drink Cerridwen’s essence, sacred Attunement springwater, before speaking these words.

 

Common:

“O’ earth Mother, benevolent to the weak and weary,

Who spreads the gifts of life and good health over the emerald wilds.

You who gifted me my own life, and their life,

Pray for my soul and bless my hands with your healing light.

O' compassionate Mother, look down upon me,

I ask that you help your dutiful servant,

so they may continue to serve you and spread your goodness across the land.

 

Elven:

“O’ Haelun’Taynan, orlle ay’adiln divcerun’ehya,

lae heya elillern’tayna lentera hiyluan’ehya y’ameantaynei.

nae heya kae’leh taynan illerale, kae’leh wynan’anuh il’sulwaleh, nae’leh ehya orahernan illera.

O’ Haelun’lle, y’kae anoh’suliera, kae ay’nae’leh tilrunhaleral mediera adontere,

iyul kae orern nae tilruereh, nae’leh ehya lle’saere karin’ento.”

   

Prayer of Fortitude

A prayer spoken when seeking strength of soul and mind. Spoken after providing part of yourself as an offering, a braid of hair, or a drop of blood.

 

Common:   

“Let nothing shake my soul,

Let nothing strike fear in my heart,

For when the world falls apart, I remember this:

The Aspects never fade.

Your faith in them gives you the world

Whoever has the light of the lord and lady lacks nothing;

The Mother and Father alone bring great treasures”

 

Elven:

“Oerne kae’leh ethereh,

Oerne kae’leh hiylun’ito khel myumiereh

Ay’heya tuvan ullrere, kae iyl perithere:

Eletaliynan orchulne ullrer.

Nae’eh ay’eletaliynan mayilere nae tuvan illere.

Heya elsul’elemaln elehaelun’ehya ay’divtuvan oradilne;

Elehaelun Elemaln’ehya sioln maorakal myumiereyae.”

 

A Mother’s Gift

A prayer to beseech good health for a newborn child. Words spoken after the child’s umbilical cord, or baby teeth, have been offered.

 

Common:

“O gentle mother,

And benevolent lady of life,

Grant this my joyous bequest;

Send out your grace on (he/she)

Fill them with life unending,

And start them on the path of goodness

That they may spread life and happiness

To all that lay their eyes upon them”

     

Elven:

“O Leyuan Haelun,

Lari’Taynaan ehya,

Kae iyl adonten illera;

Nae’leh ahernan y’(lae/hae) myumiera

(lae/hae) il’taynaan ordiveth ahera,

y’Elnarnsaenlle’ehya annilera

Iyal (lae/hae) taynan orwyn’ehya oerneh maeluere

Iyl’ehya y’heya suliera y’(lae/hae) oerneh illere.”

     

Last Rites

Spoken over a dying Elf, or shortly after their passing, to bring peace to the departing Spirit and guide them on.

 

Common:

O' Mother, look upon me now.

See here that your gift of life has ended,

That his/her heart is still and his/her Spirit weary.

May you bring him/her to peace and slumber eternal.

 

O' Father, look upon me now.

See here that your gift of the hunt has ended,

That his/her voice is silent and his/her blood grows cold.

May you bring him/her to honour and strength undying.

 

You have held this Spirit until the end,

And he/she now passes into the Balance.

Flesh to soil, blood to water, bone to dust.

Blessed be.

 

Elven:

O' Haelun, y'kae oerneh suliera.

ito suliera, iyul nae'leh illern'taynan ethere,

Iyul divhiuw ito lae'leh/hae'leh taliiynan, divcerun'ehya ito hae'leh/lae'leh hiylun.

Prayers to Mani
