Hail Mary
Hail Mary, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we raise our hands, our eyes, and our hearts.
Blessed are you above all else, Maiden, Mother, Crone.
From your dark womb sprang the light, the void filled.
Be with us Mary, now and in the hour of our death.
Our Mother who art Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will made one
Earth and Sky together
Give us this day our daily bread
And aid us in our workings
That we might aid others
With our work
And love us always as thine children
to deliver from evil.
Glory be to the Mother
From her earthly daughters
Absolute deity
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
World without end

How: Take a bath, and bring the offering of bread and either milk or juice to the altar with you. Relax, and regulate your breathing. Light the candle, positioning the offering next to it, and focusing upon the flame or an inner visualization of the Mother. Recite the simple words:
"She who is All, She who has always been. Know the face, and hear the voice, of one who has need of you this night. I bring an offering, to She who brings balance to all things. Please be with me. Join me in this place. Blessed is the Mother, and the fruit of her womb."
Be aware of changes in your physical environment, as well as your inner voice. Continue to focus, and communicate to her your love. When you are done, thank her for her speaking to you, and divide the bread. Eat a portion of the bread, and drink from the cup. Leave the remainder of each as offering in place for her, and let energy flow back out into the space or perform a formal grounding.
