Prayer”:

It is she who rides

On mounts of golden glory,

Drawn – dagger in tooth

And eyes cast upward to Heaven;

Fear not – in your darkest hour,

For it is then that Dawn might come;

Bourn from her womb, but 

Rolling tides of sanguine clouds

Aloft on the horizon,

Hear the heralding cries

Of Deborah – who rides onward;

Spitting in esoteric tongues;

Who knows only gleaming visions –

Of what is sure to come –

Fiery Queen of Victory –

O Deborah! O Deborah!

Free your merciless blade

To sting –

Singing like the Valkyrie;

O Deborah –

The Prophetess Queen: (x)

– Thy will be done.

Ritual

To Overcome Any Odds;

Light (5) Red or Golden Candles. With a knife blade pressed between your hands, recite the above prayer adding in the following at the (x):

Hear my pleas – 

O Warrioress of Righteous Virtue –

Lead me forth to Victory,

Oracle of Spear and Dagger;

Might these odds yet,

Be overcome?

Light the way, Deborah –

Fire of the Divine,

Fight by my side –

Fight by my side –

Extinguish the candles and arrange them with three pointed upward and two pointing downward and tie them together in a bundle – bury (in the same, upright position) near your front door.
