Athene Glaukopis,
Your silver eyes pierce through shadows.
You see all that may come to pass
in the lives of mortals and gods.
You peer into my private darkness
and will not flinch or look away.
I cannot bear your sight,
yet it is my greatest comfort.

Athene Amboulias,
when I confide, you listen.
Who am I? I am nothing.
Still, you balance my life
on your scales of justice
and merely smile at my folly.
When my worries lunged, teeth bared,
you taught me stillness.

Athene Zosterias,
may your insight encircle me with truth,
your aegis guard my heart from foolishness,
your shield protect me from those who seek to harm.
May I find refuge in your knowledge,
surrounding myself with your strength.

Athene Soteira,
your gifts nourish and protect.
Your mind pervades the universe,
yet you comfort one small life.
I cannot be worthy of your regard,
only gift you with adoration.
Search my heart; know my devotion.
Hear my prayer:
that I may hear your voice,
and act upon your wisdom.
