How do you pray to Athena?

Say this prayer while putting a portion of your food into a fire.

Please know that Athena was a mainly female worshiped god.

Athena, goddess of Civilization, Learning and War. Of all my patrons, your are my favourite, for I, like you was born from the head of a man. And I, like you, am a woman true.

Grant me the ability to see truth and clarity, to learn and appreciate new things, and to treasure and maintain the knowledge I already possess.

Allow me to be any person's equal, able to compete where I must, and to share when I can, in my culture and community.

Remind me that in being a woman, I still retain my reason and higher faculties, while allowing full reign of my emotions.
