Prayer to Gabija, Goddess of the hearth, grains and guardian of Fire



Sacred Fire of Gabija burning on the altar.
We surrender to you and ask that,

If there be disharmony in my mind, in my Soul, in my community of nature or of human, with my Gods and Goddesses and with my ancestors.  

The Gods will allow us to restore Harmony, where there is no harmony with any or all of these realms of existence.

If I am in despair and even doubt our path, give me hope in those dark times, restore my faith in life, fill it with joy and passion.

In the darkest hours of my life, Gabija, like a twinkling light, shine your light and show me the way.
dry up my sorrows and replace them with joy.

illuminate the path to take at confused crossroads in my life.

May you light up the dark recesses of my mind to give me peace of mind which will carry me through the painfulness of hard times.

i give love and understanding for my own Self and the self of others to give assistance when needed to help people find their own way in the darkness.

May your loving warmth be my comfort which I can impart to others, shine your light to show me that which I don't know and can't see so I can understand and know myself better and know better how to live love.

I give you this salt offering that you may hear my pleas.
