Spirits of Nature,
Bless this book that I have prepared to be my companion
as I travel the path of the green witch.
May I be inspired as I write in it.
May the information herein serve to support me in my spiritual development.
May truths reveal themselves to me as I review my writings.
May this grimoire support me in my work to become
the best person I can be,
And in being the steward of Nature.
May this grimoire and my practice with it serve Nature
in the best of ways.
May both this book and I be blessed.
