Ianus Pater

Ianus Pater, opener of doors,

Guardian of every household,

You embody beginnings and endings

And guide us through the gates.

Through your door, let our words reach the Kindreds .

Come forth and dwell in this space.

Through you, may our hearts be open.

Through you, may our homes be safe.

Through you, may all who join be welcomed.

And through you may our words travel past the portals.

Ianus Pater, magnificent God

Come forth and encounter this rite.
