Rewritten Poetry for Danu

Deliver Me From My Enemy

Based off of Marian Psalms 13 and 34

A foolish enemy has said in their heart,
"I will follow after and take them
and my hand shall slay them."
Arise and shelter, O Danu, Your child from their rancor:
Let Your power, mightier than the storm, stay their hand
And let Your love, sweet as spring water,
wash away their hate
So that they will never again seek to harm or hinder me.

For my soul rejoices in Your presence
and You are the center and foundation of my life
Wherever I may walk:
the sweet waters of Your love refreshes me.
Therefore I kneel before You, O Holy Mother and Queen
For it is by Your gentle touch my heart is healed
And by Your rose-sweet fragrance my soul is revived,
so that I may rest in the shelter of Your merciful love

Pride Prayer of Protection

Written for Pride Month and based off of Deliver Me From My Enemy

It is Pride, a time of great joy and sorrow and anger
to all who fly the rainbow flag
Arise and shelter, O Danu, Your queer children
from those who wish us harm:
let Your power, mightier than the storm,
stay the hand of all who hate us,
and let Your love, sweet as spring water,
wash away their loathing so that they will never again
seek to harm us or hinder us from living and loving freely

And until that blessed day
give us the strengh to fight for our lives
Beloved ones and sanctuaries so that we may heal
and remember the joy of being Your blessed children
Let those who must hide stay hidden in Your mantle
and let Your scorn fall to all, both within and without,
who force them to out themselves before their time
Or seek to gatekeep and limit those
who they view as lesser
For mighty is Your Power and bountiful is Your Mercy
For all who call upon You in love.

I Will Praise You O Danu

Based off of Marian Psalms 9 and 11

I will praise You, O Danu, with my whole heart:
And I will speak of Your love and glory.
For You are due praise and thanksgiving,
O Great Danu, Fount of healing peace and mercy.
May we find protection under your mantel,
Healing for the scars of our souls.
And guidence on the path You set before us
For beautiful are Your ways: and You paths are peaceful.
From You flows the beauty of faith,
the light of hope, and the splendor of love.

I Call Your Name

Based off of Marian Psalms 4 and 11

I call Your Name for you hear me, O Danu
and, from Your throne,
You listen to Your children's prayers.
Save us, O Danu, Gentle Mother and Mighty Queen;
You whose robes are like
the waters reflecting the heavens
and adorned with the ever-changing moon as a crown;
who travel throughout all of Your creation
so that You may help those that call You.
with Your loving hands which
will deliver us from anger and fear.
For Your mercy is gracious and your hands ever open:
towards all who invoke Your holy name.

With My Voice

Based off of Marian Psalm 76

With my voice I cried to Danu:
and by Her grace
she has taken sorrow
and grief from my heart
And has soothed my heart
with the waters of Her mercy.
She has turned my fear into confidence,
and, by Her ever-flowing aspect,
She has calmed my mind.
Under Her holy guidance
I have avoided despair,
and I have escaped
the cruel hand of ignorance.
Thanks be to Danu, my gentle Lady,
for Her mercy

Incline Your Ear, O Danu

Based off of Marian Psalm 85

Incline Your ear, O Danu, and hear me:
Turn Your face to me,
and allow me to bask in Your love.
Your sweetness delights
the souls of Your children:
The resplendence of Your glory
enlightens the mind:
and the light of Your mercies
guides us on Your path.
The fountain of Your goodness
refreshes the thirsty:
and Your countenance
draws all away from cruelty.
To know You is the root of immortality:
and to love You is the way to liberation.

My Charge of the Goddess

Based off of theCharge of the Goddess by Doreen Valiente and others

Listen to the words of the Great Lady,
She who's known by many names
Yet whose true Name has never
been spoken on this earth

"I am the Creator and Queen of all,
from the rich earth to the blazing sun.
From the crashing sea to the shining moon
and the distant stars, whose number
is known only to Me,
and all the mysteries
you have yet to imagine.

I call upon My children to walk beside Me:
For I am the Divine Spark
from which everything begins,
the Deepest Shadow
where everything returns,
and the One who is ever beside you.

Let My Love pour freely
from the hearts of My children,
for it is Love that will heal you
and light your way home."

Psalm to the Great Mother

Based off of Psalm 23

With You, Great Mother,
there is nothing I lack
For my soul knows
the sweetness of Your love
Even when I walk in the valley of despair
I will choose courage over fear:
love over hate
For You are with me
Your hand & Your voice
Comfort and inspire me
You guide me as I walk this path
For I walk with You once more
Surely Your wisdom & mercy will bless me
All of my lives on this earth
For I am united with You once more
