Iron bending Hephaistos,
Like smooth clay within your palms,
You create beautiful things.

The sharp blades of Athene’s spears,
And the wickedly lethal swords of Ares
Are all of your making.
Immortal as you are my golden Theos,
Nothing you craft is less than perfect.

I pray to you as a bladesmith,
And I ask for you to bless my forge with your skilled presence.
Guide me, oh god,
Show me your craft so that I may please you with my work.

Fire-filled Hephaistos, this I pray to you!
