My daily prayers (update)

A little while ago, I posted about my thanks giving rite to the Theoi, and included my actual ritual. Today, I want to share with you my daily prayers, both so those new to Hellenismos might have a bit of a model, as well as for me to look back on later on. I have done this before, writing out more, so if things here are confusing, try the older post. In the near future, I want to include more household Gods in these prayers, specifically Zeus Ephestios, Zeus Herkeios, Apollon Aguieus, and Hermes Propylaios, but for now, this is it. Please keep in mind that this sounds much better in Dutch.

Night time prayers (before bed:

Preparation:

• Mix wine with water in my kylix
• Empty water bowl and fill anew with water previously prepared by mixing tap water with sea water and asking Okeanos' blessing
• Empty sacrificial bowl
• Add ethanol to sacrificial bowl
• Lay out two matches and a hand towel (one for khernips, the other to light the candle/ethanol)

Rite:

• Procession to the shrine
• Strewing of barley groats on the altar
• Preparation of khernips 
• Purification – washing of hands and face, sprinkling the room and altar with fingers

"Blessed Okeanos, may your bright waters purify this space, and prepare both me, and it, for the rites that are about to unfold."

• Lighting of Hestia's candle (if not yet burning, mine almost always is), as well as the ethanol to burn sacrifices in
• Hymn and prayers to Hestia

"Blessed Goddess Hestia, you who tend the holy house of the lord Apollo, the Far-shooter at goodly Pytho, with soft oil dripping ever from your locks, come now into this house, come, having one mind with Zeus the all-wise—draw near, and withal bestow grace upon my song.
Blessed Goddess Hestia, accept this offering of honey sweet wine, and guard this house as you guard the houses of all who sacrifice to you. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

• Libation of honey sweet wine to Hestia
• Hymns and prayers to Nyx and Selene

"Blessed Nyx, Goddess of night. She who holds the world in her dark embrace, and Selene, Goddess of the moon, who illuminates the night like a torch. Accept this offering of sweetest wine, and come always, as the day follows the night. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

• Libation to Nyx and Selene
• Hymns and prayers to Hypnos and Morpheus

"Blessed Hypnos, Morpheus, Gods of sleep and dreams, respectively. Accept this offering of honey sweet wine, and grant me equally sweet sleep, and even sweeter dreams. Carry my mind far beyond the limits of my imagination. Accept my prayer, and allow me to rise rested and rejuvenated so I may continue my hard work. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

• Libation to Hypnos and Morpheus
• Hymns, prayers and libations to the night time or Khthonic Theoi whose sacred day it is, or any night time or Khthonic Theoi whom I feel the need to pray and sacrifice to.
• Hymn and prayer to Hekate

"I call Einodian Hekate, lovely dame, of earthly, wat'ry, and celestial frame, Sepulchral, in a saffron veil array'd. Goddess of the night, companion to Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld. You, key bearer of this world. Accept my offering of honey sweet wine, and guard the borders of this house as you guard the borders of the houses of all who sacrifice to you. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

• Libation to Hekate
• Hymn to Hestia

"Blessed Goddess Hestia, Goddess of home and hearth. To you, I offer last of all, as any pious mortal should. Tend to those whom I love, and guard the houses of the pious. As the Gods will it, so shall it be."

• Extinguishing of the candle or replace with electric one, as I always do.
