Agathos Daimon, benign residing God, to Thee I pray
Zeus who dwells within the home, who guards us night and day,
Protector of vineyards and grain, bestower of wealth
Bless this oikos, and all within, with wisdom and good health
Oh joyful God who brings abundance and good cheer
With Agathas Tyche, Blessed Mother, goodly Demeter,
When in our homes we honour Thee with hearts that are true
And pour libations with pure intent to You
Then may our lives be Olbios, rich blessings send
Grant a life free from cares, and a glorious, blessed end.
(Pour libation)
To all protective, companion spirits, we raise a kylix now
And pour libations of sweet wine, and to live good lives we vow
Agathos Daimones, spirits
nurturing and ever-renewing
As Artemis's swift hounds, our souls pursuing
Blessed evolved souls Who guide us towards Areti,
Hounds of Artemis and Hounds of Hekate
Noble spirits who advocate on our behalf when we have erred
And carry our prayers to the Gods that they be heard
Aid us Goodly Ones in a virtuous life and with us reside
Encourage our deeds and words, be ever by our side
That we may be guided to a life that is true
A life filled with good fortune, wisdom and virtue
(Pour libation)
