The Citizens of Rome call out to the mighty Dead
Genius/Juno of the Pater/Materfamilias! Progenitor of our lineage, we offer you welcome
Manes, those of our bloodline who have gone, we offer you welcome
Parentes, those closest to our hearts, who wait for us on the far banks of the great river, we offer you welcome
Mighty ancestors, we make this offering to you,
and invite you to join us here at the sacred center.
Receive our offering, share in our joy, and grant us your blessing
Mighty ancestors, accept our sacrifice!
Ita Est!
Drake (Aurifex) Collins
