Gaia

Gaia, primal goddess of the world,
Great mother of all.
You were the first to be born from Chaos
and from you all life has formed.
With your name, we grow and change.
Come forth and dwell in this space.

Gaia, gracious goddess of the earth
Eldest of all beings,
You who support and sustain us
And inspire us with your love.
With your name, I start my rite.
Come forth and dwell in this place.

Through you, may we learn to love.
Through you, may we learn to support.
Through you, may all who join be welcomed.
And through you may our intentions be pure.
Gaia, magnificent goddess,
Come forth and encounter this rite.
