Athena, Strength and Wisdom
  
  
  Athena, Strength and Wisdom,
  grant us your gifts in times of trouble.
  O, strong in wisdom!
  O, wise in strength!
  O, strong of mind and body!
  
  May your shield, the Aegis, stand
  to remind those who would destroy us all
  that She who is Maid and Mother
  is fierce-gazed Destroyer as well.
  
  Athena, crowned in glory,
  grant us of your insight.
  Show us secrets in the ancient stories.
  Shatter ignorance with your inner light.
  
  Athena, Wisdom as Woman,
  grant us of your Woman's Wisdom.
  Teach us to be peaceful and strong.
  Teach us to use strength in peaceful ways.
  
  Athena, Strength and Wisdom,
  Woman Wisdom crowned in light,
  in times of trouble lend us wisdom
  to find wise uses for our inner might.
