Thesmoi

The Thesmoi of Demeter

Give praises to the Holy Mother – all that is

born rises from within her.

All that sustains thee flows from her body.

The wise and Holy Mother pleasures

in peace and honest labour.

Tend to your life with gentle wisdom, and to

your days with love’s compassion.

Honor the Goddess’ rites and mysteries – to bring

justice, peace, and the nation’s fertility.

Know the cycle of the blessed seed as the mystery

of the soul, revealed.

Honor the pure and Holy Maiden, whose power

is joy ever-reborn.

Praises to the royal Persephone, who at thy death

will welcome thee.

Praises to the Holy Mother, whose song

is the light of eternity.

May you know your immortal being and

drink of her cup everlasting.
