After opening the circle and calling the watchtowers
HPS: stands with her legs apart and her arms up and out, stretching to the sky.
HP: kneels before her.
All the COVENERS also kneel. All raise their arms high.
COVENER: When the Moon rides on high as She crosses the sky, And the stars on her gown trail behind, then we Wiccans below are with love all aglow, just to see Her so brightly enshrined.
COVENER: On the night of the full moon as we sing of The Lady who watches above, we raise high our song as She glides by so strong, and we bask in the light of her love.
ALL lower their arms.
HP: rises and kisses HPS, then kneels again.
HP: Lovely Lady, you have been known by so many names to so many people. Aphrodite, Kerridwen, Diana, Freya, Gana, Isis, and many more have been your names. Yet do we know you and love you as Aradia and in that name do we adore you and worship you . With your Lord by your side, do we give your due honor and invite you to join with us on this, your special night.
HP: stands and with his athame draws a Pentagram above the PRIESTESS'S head.
COVENER rings the bell three times.
HP: Descend, my Lady, descend we pray thee and speak to us your children.
HP: kneels again
HPS: spreads her arms out to her coven
HPS: I am She who watches over thee, Mother of you all. Know that I rejoice that you do not forget me. To pay me homage at the full of the moon is meet and right and brings joy unto yourselves even as it does to me. Know that, with my good Lord, I weave the skein of life for each and every one of you. I am at the beginning of life and at its end;
The Maiden, The Mother and The Crone. Wherever you may be, if you seek me, know that I am always here, for I abide deep within you. Look, then, within yourself if you seek me. I am Life and I am Love. Find me and rejoice; for love is my music and laughter is my song. Be true to me and I will ever be true to you. Love is the law and love is the bond. So Mote It Be..
HPS: folds her arms across her breasts and closes her eyes. Then follows a moment or two of silence.
HP: So Mote It Be.
Moment of silence circle is closed
