a GIFT TO OSHUN

"Oshun, I would like to gift you with a prayer the Creator gave me at the close of the last century." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

I anoint my feet to walk to where I can do the most good for someone's life.

Let a circle open within my stomach to receive and release to objects, creatures, and spirits and people in need.

I anoint my hands to heal.

I anoint my voice to speak trust into the heart, power into the life, vision to the blind, strength to the unbelieving and weak.

I anoint my eyes to probe, to know, to see.

I bless myself to be myself.

I open myself to the elements.

Let the Unknowable Unknown permeate my being.

I anoint my Self to be a receptacle for the Mystery; the Above Person, the Unknowable Unknown. 

Gregory E. Woods (Dawn Wolf)
