The Armouring

By Evermore Raven

This is a beautiful and powerful devotion/charm that was sent to me by a dear friend. You can use it as a devotion in front of an Altar or where you feel most comfortable.

Relax into Alpha, tighten and relax the muscles. Take several deep cleansing breaths. Send roots into the Earth and draw energy up through the Chakras. Recite the charm, letting it build into energy as you do. Send out the energy. Then take your circle down.

The Armouring by Liafal (Druidic Version)

I gird myself with the Two Powers,

The Deeps of the World’s Chaos,

The Height of the World’s Order,

And I between them,

Like the World Tree.

I gird myself with the power of the

Magic Cauldron,

With the inspiration of the

Fire of Magic,

With Love to draw all good to me and mine.

I gird myself with the Power of the Spirits -

The might of the Shinning Ones,

The wisdom of the Ancestors,

The joy of the Elder Tribes,

All meet in my soul.

Today I gird myself

With the Elements of the World.

The stars behind my eyes,

My thoughts the clouds,

The Sun my face,

Cool Moonlight my mind,

My breath the wind,

The sea my blood,

My hair the green bounty,

My flesh the warm soil,

Eternal stone my bones,

All the world is in me,

And I am in the world

I gird myself with with my Goddesses’s power to direct me,

With my God’s wisdom to bear me up,

Their eyes to watch over me,

Their ears to hear me,

Their voices to speak to me.

Their hands to open my ways,

Their shield to ward me and those I love

From the snares of spirits,

From peril by land,

From peril by sea,

from peril by sky,

From all who wish me ill,

Far or near

Let theses powers be upon me and in me,

Upon my Tribe and in my Tribe

To make us equal to any challenge,

To come between us and all that threatens

Our bodies or our spirits,

That we may have the wisdom of the Wise,

The love of the Loving,

The power of the Powerful,

That we may be known, and with honor,

In the inner realms.

Know me, O Mighty, Noble, and Shinning Ones;

For my name is………

Power above me,

Power below me,

Power on my right hand,

Power behind me,

Power on my left hand,

Power before me.

In every eye, in every ear,

In every mouth, in every heart,

My magic is established.

I gird myself and my Tribe with ninefold magic;

The Fire, the Well, the Tree, the Land, the Sky, the Sea,

the Gods, the Dead, the Sidhe (”shee”)

Dwell with me and in me

With my Tribe and in my Tribe

Forever

So be it !
