Patterns and practices of devotion often change as practice deepens or varies over time. The first version of this prayer was written in May 2015 and published in the devotional anthology “The Grey Mare on the Hill”. I have continued to used this prayer in my own devotions and the third verse in particular has developed. Here I share the version I currently use.
Hail Epona Rigantona! Rigantona Epona Hail!
Epona of Horses, I praise you!
Rigantona of the Land, I praise you!

I love this! It reminds me a bit of what I used to call my “Rosary of the Hay”. I would go out feeding hay, spreading it out it lots of tiny piles for my herd. With each bit I dropped I would say the name of one of the horse goddesses. “Blessed be the name of Epona. Blessed be her holy name! Blessed be the name of Rhiannon. Blessed be her holy name!” and so on, including Macha and Rigantona, repeating and repeating as I went around.

Sounds like a lovely ritual particularly for your own herd 🙂 When I worked at an event yard down in Hertfordshire one of our winter tasks was putting out the hay for the youngsters who wintered out. I didn’t know anything about Paganism or Polytheism at the time but can see how a devotional element could easily be added.
