Lady of Wisdom

Goddess of wise discourse

The promoter of intellectual life

Lover of education and those who teach

I ask that you enlighten us

That we may prioritize the gifts you give over the distractions of greed

Athena of the thunder cloud grey eyes

Stir the heavens with your spear

That your wisdom may rain down upon us

Inspire us with your light

That we may drink from the waters of your blessings

Goddess of well-planned combat

And of the warrior’s noble heart

Grant us the will to fight for what is truly important

The education and enlightening of our children

To give this world a better chance

And if fight we must, we will

By your side, as you sweep our enemies aside

For the love of our children

For the love of civilization

For the love of the Gods that on Olympus dwell
