Cintugiamos/Start of Winter Ritual

[Light candle, fire, etc]

As the suns bite wanes

And rain renews the land

We turn to the Regentiâ, who gave so that we may give

We look inward during this time of rest

And in doing so see the mark left by our ancestors

We thank our ancestors who gave us life

From all the lands they hail

And thank them for the sacrifices they gave freely

And in honour to Them, we give and share this meal

[Offer meal]

As the Southern Wind brings cold and rain

And the land greens in greeting

We turn to the father of the Senogalatîs

Who we in turn honour and give offerings

Lord Ogmios, the Great Speaker, Mighty and Wise Hero

In this time of darkness we look to you, psychopomp

Guide the souls and us during the winter

We give this offering in praise and thanks to you

[Give offering]

As the light weakens and the night wins

We give praise to Dêuâ caddâ Noxtos, Holy Goddess of the Night

The nude mother whose cold embrace we turn to in the depths of Giamos

Who gives love and comfort and leaves none wanting

We give this offering to you who gives so freely

[Give offering]

Praise to the Regentiâ

Praise to Ogmios

Praise to Noxtos

Thanks to you all
