Gods of Light and Shadow,
Guardians of roads seen and unseen,
Spirits of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth,
Forces that were before us and will remain after,
I call to you with an open heart and a clear intention.

I thank you for every step I have already walked,
for the bright days and the dark ones,
for the joys that strengthened my soul,
and for the trials that made me deeper.
I thank you for being with me even in the moments
when I believed I was walking alone.

You who hold the world in balance,
you who illuminate my path,
you who guide me through dreams and signs —
I accept your care, your support, and your silence
in which the answers are born.
Hear me now as well.

Lead me further along my path,
even if it is veiled in darkness and mist.
Let every step be filled with meaning,
even if I do not recognize it at once.
Let my heart stay steady
when the world around me lacks light.
Let my faith not falter
even when the road becomes steep and narrow.

Protect my days from false paths
and guard my nights from restless shadows.
Grant me attentiveness — to see the signs you leave for me,
courage — to walk without looking back,
and wisdom — to choose what makes the soul cleaner and stronger.
Let your power flow beside me and within me.

I trust you and accept the path you reveal.
May my days be blessed,
may my nights be guarded,
and may my entire road be held
under your heavenly and earthly protection.

So it was, so it is, so it will be!
