Charge Of The Goddess

~LISTEN to the words of The Great Mother, who was of old also called among men, Artemis, Astarte, Athane, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride, and by many many others.

~ At her altars, the youth of Lacedaemon in Sparta made due sacrafice.

~Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in a secret place, and adore the spirit of me, who am Queen of all witches.

~There shall ye assemble, ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won it's deepest secrets........ to these I will teach things that are as 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, dance, sing, feast, make music and love, all in my praise.

~For mine is the ecstacy of the spirit, and mine also is joy on earth, for my law is love unto all beings.

~Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it, let naught stop you or turn you aside, for mine is the secret door which opens upon the land of youth, and mine is the cup of 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, freedom and reunion with those who have gone before.

~Nor do I demand sacrafice, for behold I am the Mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the earth.

~Hear ye words of the Star Goddess, she in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of Heaven, whose body encircles the universe.

~I am the beauty of the green earth, and the white moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man.

~Call unto my soul, arise and come unto me, for I am the soul of nature, who gives life to the universe.

~From me all things proceed, and unto me all things must return, and before my face, beloved of Gods and of men, let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.

~Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.

~And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, morth and reverence within you.

~And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery...... that if which thou seek thou find not within thee, thou will never find it without thee.

~For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
