Hel, Keeper of the final destiny, In your presence, I am reminded of mortality, and comforted with the whispers of the beyond.
Death's Goddess, Protector of the Underworld, You wait for me at the gate with kindness and love, to unite me with souls past, and I can spend my days running with wolves.
I ask of you, guide me with your gentle touch through the shadows of existence. Grant me your courage to confront my own mortality and the acceptance to embrace my short time on earth.
As I travel the short road of life, I ask you keep my ancestors company as they wait for reunion, and when the time comes your compassion be my solace in times of transition.
Daughter of the Flame, I ask of you but this one request, bless me with the grace to navigate the cycle of life with faith, dignity, and peace.
Hail to you Hel, Keeper of the Endless Night, I wait to meet you at the gate, with a smile and a warm embrace. But not yet.
