Charge of the Goddess

Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the moon is full. 

Then ye shall assemble in some sacred place and adore the spirit of Me, who am Queen of all Witcheries. 

There ye shall assemble, ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet who have not won its deepest secrets.

To these I will teach things that are yet unknown and ye shall be free from slavery,and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites, and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love, all in my praise.

For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine is also joy on earth, for my Law is Love unto all beings.

Keep pure your hightest ideals, strive ever towards it. Let naught stop you or turn you aside.

For minie is the secret which opens upon the door of Youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of Life,

and the Cauldron of Cerridwen which is the Holy Grail of immortality.

I am the Gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of Man

Upon Earth I give the knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond Death 

I give Peace and Freedom, and Reunion with those who have gone before.

Nor do I demand sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of all things, and my Love is poured out upon the Earth.

So Mote it Be   )0(
