Lord Veles, Keeper of Navia and forests and fields,

all that's living or once was,

Teacher of the people,

Patron of in-between and all that live there, the artists, the lost and the curious, the messy and the overlooked.

Guard Your calf, messy and growing, muddy and wild, don't let it get lost or stray, guide it through all good and bad alike, accompany it in its success and hardships.

Please stand by Your calf, as it stands by You.

Sláva Velesu!

(vv the prayer in my native language vv)

Pane Veli, Hospodáři Navie, lesů a polí,

všeho co bylo a je živé,

Učitel národů,

Patron mezisvětí a všech jeho obyvatel, umělců, ztracených a zvídavých, rozlétaných a přehlížených.

Chraň Své telátko, vzestupší z hlíny, zmatečné a divoké, nenech ho se toulat, veď ho dobrým i zlým, buď s ním v úspěších i neúspěších.

Prosím stůj při Svém telátku, jak ono stojí při Tobě.

Sláva Velesu!

Every time I beg for rain, god shows me his love by sending down his blessings

I dedicate all my work and learning about plants and nature to Veles. It's like we have a quiet agreement. But at times I feel His presence so loudly I know I can't fail.

I've been going back and forth about devoting myself to a god for years. Narrowed it down to two. Then my focus sharpened. It took me months to accept it, to admit it to myself. Then I did. Then I told myself it has to be perfect. The "first contact".

Not much in life is perfect, alright? But what I didn't notice is how much of my life already is to His name. And I like it that way. Dare I say, He likes it that way?

It's been at least six months since I realised who I want to work with on a deep, deep level. A few months since I described it to other ((very close)) people. But lately, I feel our relationship is growing more tangible. He makes me feel strong.

I want to be good.
