Showering the earth with warmth and life-giving energy.
O Sun God, with each sunrise, you awaken our souls,
Infusing our days with brilliance and vitality.
We honor the Summer Solstice, the zenith of your radiant power,
And our hearts overflow with gratitude for the bountiful gifts you bestow upon us.
Illuminate our paths, O Belenus,
Dispelling the shadows of doubt and fear.

And inspire us to reach for the heights of our potential.
In your light, we find hope; in your warmth, we find strength.
Yet, O Belenus, we acknowledge your vengefulness,
A reminder that your radiant gifts are not to be taken lightly.

Striking down those who defy your sacred will.

Where the sun's energy flows most pure,
To offer our heartfelt devotion.

Reflecting the brilliance of your divine light.
O Charismatic Patriarch, as the sun descends,
May we carry your light within us,
Spreading joy, unity, and warmth to all we encounter.
Guide us with your unfaltering brilliance,
And let us forever bask in your divine rays.
