A Pagan's Prayer for the Soldier
by Melora
May the Maiden protect your youth, vitality, strength, and passion.
May you not be damaged by what you see or experience while in combat.
May the Mother watch over your body and mind.
May Her warm arms embrace you in battle.
May she bring comfort to you at night when you remember the acts of the day.
May the Crone give you the power to do what is commanded of you.
May She aid those lost in battle and ease their passage into the beyond.
May She turn her eyes from you and leave you to return home to your family.
May the Green Man give you strength to perform the tasks set before you.
May He walk with you on the battlefield, join you in comaraderie with your fellow soldiers.
May He summon all the energy of the Earth to stand strong beneath each step of your boots.
May the Faeries provide light-hearted moments to your tour of duty.
May They bring you fond memories of loved ones and friends, and ease your dreams as you sleep.
