Benediction and Blessing for the Way

Benediction and Blessing for those who walk the ancient road.

🌿 Benediction for the Way

May you find yourself gathered
into the hidden chamber of silence,
where thought falls away
and the eye of the heart opens.

May the Light be born in you anew,
so that you walk as a stranger to ignorance
and a child of eternity.

May the ancient road rise beneath your feet,
plain and difficult,
yet kept by those who loved the Good before you.

And may you know yourself as companioned—
never alone—
for the flame has many hands,
and all who love Truth are kin.

May your Being learn to fly
with both its wings:
the stillness of inner ascent,
and the devotion of outward thanksgiving.

And when completion comes,
may you stand as a god clothed in time,
and see God as Man, unclothed of time, forever.

This is the blessing.
Receive it, live it, give thanks.
