Invocation to Syn
Hail, Maiden of Honor!
Hail, keeper of fairness!
You who walk the path of integrity,
You whose name is sworn
At the end of all fair contracts,
You who remind us to keep
Even the most trivial of obligations,
Never cease in your efforts!
Teach us to say what we mean
And to mean what we say.
For honor is more than merely acting justly,
It is being a living example of that justice
For all to look upon.
Chant:
Cloth of honor from the thread of truth
Weave your heart into all you offer
(A libation of mead is poured out for Syn, and the jug replaced for the next day's ritual. Go over
house contracts and agreements on this day, to practice the virtue of Honor.)
