Solstice Prayers

Hello lovely people!

This is a reminder that on Monday, 21st June, Summer Solstice, and of course it is the longest day.

Not only is it a time of heightened spiritual energy, but many groups, all over the world, including the Native American Indians, hold the day as a special time for praying for peace..... not only for their own nation but for the planet, and the people of the world.

I shall be at the Essene gathering where we shall be holding special Solstice prayers in the evening of the 21st, and honouring the four directions, the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, and praying for peace on Earth. Especially for a speedy solution to the enormous polution of the ocean.

We will be chanting the Aramaic of the Lords Prayer (translation of the original version of the Peshitta by Neil Douglas Klotz):

Abwoon d'bashmaya.
(O birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos. You create all that moves in Light.)
Netqaddash Shmakh
(Focus your Light within us - make it useful as the rays of a beacon show the way.)

Teete Malkutakh.
(Create your reign of unity now through our fiery hearts and willing hands.)

Nehvwey Tzevannach aykanna d'bashmaya aph b'arha.
(Your one desire then acts with ours, as in the Light, so in all forms.)

Havlan Iahma d'sunqanan yaomana
(Grant what we need each day, bread and insight.)

Washbwoqlan haubvayn wahtahyn aykana daph hnan shbviqan l'hayyabayn.
(Loose the chords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of each other's guilt.)

Wela tehlan le'ynesuna
(Don't let surface thnigs delude us)

Metul dilakhie malkuta wahayla wateshbuhta l'ahlamalmin.
(From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews.)

Ameyn. (Truly power to these statements. May they be the source from which all our actions grow.Sealed in trust and faith. Amen)





Then four lines of an old American Indian prayer at the start of more prayers. It is very simple, if you would like to join us by saying this first and then making your own petition to God and the angels for world peace........ that would be wonderful! :

Ancient Mother I feel you calling
Ancient Mother I hear your sound
Ancient Mother I see your laughter
Ancient Mother I taste your tears

Perhaps you might also like to stop whatever you are doing at noon, and join me with the Essene gathering in the noon contemplation of:

" Peace, peace, peace. Angel of Peace, be always everywhere"

Whatever you choose to do, even if only lighting a candle, with our group intention and solidarity of focus and energy I know that we can all help to bring more even light and love into the world around us.

Thank you, each of you, for being part of my world.

Love and blessings in abundance,

Chrissie
