Hear my words and know me!
I shall be called a million names by all who speak!
I am Eternal Maiden! I am Great Mother!
I am the Old One who holds the immortal key!
I am shrouded in Mystery, but am known to every soul!
Hear my words and know
me!
Whenever the moon rises in the Heavens
shall my children come to me.
Better it be once a month when the moon is full,
shall ye assemble in some secret place, such as this,
and adore the spirit of I.
I, who am the Queen of Witches!
And under my watchful
eye,
my children shall be taught the mysteries of Earth
and Nature, of the ways of all Magick!
That which is unknown shall be known,
and that which is hidden shall be revealed,
even the secluded soul shall be pierced with my Light.
From my cauldron shall be drunk all knowledge and immortality!
Ye shall be free from
slavery
and ye shall dance, sing, and feast.
Music shall surround you,
for mine is the ecstasy of the spirit,
and mine is also the joy of the earth!
I do not demand
sacrifice!
For behold, I am the Mother of all living things!
Create and heal!
Be strong, yet gentle.
Be noble, yet reverent.
Bring forth and replenish.
And, as does the cycle of
the Moon
ever begin to wax and wane and to grow forth again,
as do the seasons
from one to the next flow in smooth rhythm,
from sowing to reaping,
to seeming death and rebirth.....
so will my children know their own pattern in both worlds!
And ye shall say these
words......
I Will love and harm none.
I Will live, love, die, and live again.
I Will meet, remember; know,
and embrace once more.
For the free will of ALL, And with harm None,
As I will
It now is done
So mote it be!

I am the Great
Mother, worshipped by all creation
and existent prior to their consciousness.
I am primal female force, boundless and eternal. I
am the chaste Goddess of the Moon,
the Lady of all magic.
The winds and moving leaves sing my name.
I wear the crescent Moon upon my brow
and my feet rest among the starry heavens.
I am mysteries yet unsolved, a path newly set upon.
I am a field untouched by the plow.
Rejoice in me an know the fullness of my youth. I
am the blessed Mother,
the gracious Lady of the harvest.
I am clothed with the deep, cool wonder of the Earth
and the gold of the fields heavy with grain.
By me the tides of the Earth are ruled;
all things come to fruition according to my season.
I am refuge and healing.
I am the life-giving Mother, wondrously fertile. Worship
me as the Crone,
tender of the unbroken cycle of death and rebirth.
I am the wheel, the shadow of the Moon.
I rule the tides of women and men
and give release and renewal to weary souls.
Though the darkness of death is my domain,
the joy of birth is my gift. I
am the Goddess of the Moon, the Earth, the Seas.
My names and strengths are manifold.
I pour forth magic and power, peace and wisdom.
I am the eternal Maiden, Mother of all, and Crone of darkness,
and I send you blessings of limitless love.
