May we pay homage
not just on this day, but on all days to come;B to this Goddess.

Gaea, Mother Earth, Creation;
Instill upon us gratitude and respect —
for all that you bestow [your gifts of plenty],

To live in harmony and by the law of you;
May there be unity among mankind and you, the Mother,
as we see the truth of shorepine and the douglas fir;
and inhale the scent of cypress, juniper and yew —

Let us be as one with you and the mystery,
your forests of green and your moon of silvery-white;
to remain humble at the shores of your waters,
[oceans and clear water streams]

Great Mother Earth, teach us wisdom;
so we may understand that we are — but by and through you;
and that we may walk in strength, this path of life,
so we do not destroy in malice your children,
all the small creatures of land and of sea;

May we bring fruition to this land;
Spirit of us, and those who will come after;
let us borrow and replace that which we take,
let us be the voice and the vessel;
may we hold sacred the "all" that is but by the grace of you.

Gaea, bless us on this journey of unity"
