Ritual of Bast
Softly
the leaves fall, in the chill autumn breeze
Sweet
kiss of air, give us thy favor if you please
Warm
lights of fire, as the leaves turn, sweet fire with no light
give
us your insights
Like
the boats of the Fae, the leaves tumble down
the
waters on a moonlit night, Sweet waters of knowledge
be
with us tonight
Deep
the leaves fall, rustle goes the tread
To
carpet Earths bounty, in the life that's been shed
Sweet
loam of life, be with us and strengthen our steps
Hail
Mother Bast, who walks in the worlds twilight
Mother
of felines, Great Mother of night
Great
Mother of shadows, hunter without light
Teach
to us thy ways, so we may learn wisdom
In
the shadows, with eyes so bright
Glowing
like the sunlight, in the middle of the night
The
all seeing eye, of wonder and delight
Teach
to us how to see beyond our mundane plight
Sensual
Mother, who teaches us grace
From
you we learn Joy, with soft footed pace
Show
us the way to flow with life's pathway
Mother
of sunlight, Great Goddess of Joy
Keeper
of the Children, Keeper of Youth
Watcher
over the house, that no ill comes to roost
Teacher
of independence
Keeper
of the Keys
The
wisdom of focus, the wisdom of peace
Show
to us the way to your soft footed fall
that
leaves no print in the dust
Soft
is the tread of the Great Mother of Cats
Yet
Fiery is the Passion, who still knows how to relax
Teach
to us the ways, of fire and peace
Show
to us the way of knowing which will bring us ease
Sweet
perfumes we burn in your honor
Who
taught us to savor, the sweetness of life
And
Passions favor
Hail
Great Mother, we greet thee with our eyes
to
yours that gleam in the shadows
Never
may we be afraid to seek out your wisdom
even
to the deepest darkness of the soul
Softly
the leaves fell, in the chill autumn breezes
Sweet
was the kiss of air, that gave us your favor
Warm
were the lights of fire, as the leaves turned, sweet fire with no light
who
gave us your insights
Like
the boats of the Fae, the leaves tumbled down
the
waters on a moonlit night, Sweet waters of knowledge
were
with us tonight
Deep
the leaves fell, rustle goes the tread
That
carpeted Earths bounty, in the life that was shed
Sweet
loam of life, was with us and strengthen our steps
