Prayer for Victory

The following prayer was adapted from a prayer of the same name from the Carmina Gadelica. It invokes the favor of the goddess Boann and her son Áengus mac Óg. As the name implies, it is a good prayer to recite when you need success in any matter. Personally, I like tp recite it while bathing, or while standing outside in the sunshine.

Prayer for Victory

I bathe my face

In the nine rays of the sun,

As Boann bathed her son

In the rich fermented milk.

Honey be in my mouth,

affection be in my face;

The love that Boann gave her son

Be in the heart of all flesh for me.

All-seeing, all-hearing, all-inspiring may she be,

To satisfy and strengthen me;

Blind, deaf, and dumb forever be

My contemners and those who mock me.

The tongue of a druid in my head,

The eloquence of druids in my speech;

The composure of the Son of Youth

Be mine before the multitude.
