Grandmother Litany
Mother, mercy.
Maid, mirror of grace,
have mercy.
Holy Crone, mother of the motherless,
have mercy.
Grandmother,
Mother may we,
let us please
come into your house.
House of comfort,
House of dread,
Home to all, and to all a good night.
House of doubters,
Home to truth.
House of believers,
Home to shadows.
House of laughter,
House of howls.
Home to all, and to all a good night.
House of sinners,
Home to the pure of heart.
House of the vessels of destruction,
Home to honor.
House of starry nights,
House of moons,
Home to all, and may all find the light.
House of the joyful noise,
Home of drunken spirits.
House of the damned,
Home of the last come first.
House of blood,
House of cold counsel,
Home to all, may all fight the good fight.
House of grace,
Home to mystery,
to Grandmother's House we go,
singing all the way.
Grandmother's House has many rooms
and room for all.
Home to all, always warm, merry and bright.
Grandma keeps the hearth fire burning
always and amen.
Ark of the broken covenant,
Ark of dust and ashes,
Dark womb,
Holy Crone,
you receive us back.
Always
and
Amen.
