Invocation to Flora

By the flowers of the field, Oh Lady of delight
By the crops Thy blessings yield, Oh Maiden clear and bright
We invoke Thy presence in kernals and sheaves
We see Thy face in the moonlit leaves.
Come now to us, extend Thy grace
Come into our circle within this holy place.
Daughter of the earth, drinking sunlight,
Queen of plants, sister of night.
By leaf and twig, by root and bough
By water and earth, come to us now.
Bring us Your grain the staff of our lives.
Bring us Your fruit wherever it thrives.
Mistress of herbs unlock Your power
And lead us into Your leafy bower.
In love and joy we call Your name
With comforting hope You ease our pain.
We see Thee in the swelling bud,
We feel Thy stirring in our blood;
O Lady clear, we feel Thee near.
In spring a Maiden with flowers crowned.
In summer and harvest, the Mother renewed.
In fall and winter the Hag holds sway
Yet the Maiden remains but months away.
Great Triple Goddess, the seasons flow
And ebb to Thy will, as You come and go.
