| To Be A Witch... |
| ||
| In deepest night, in forest deep, In broad daylight, awake asleep. I am a witch at every hour, Touching Magick,weilding power. I am God/dess, Neverborn; I wear the cresent wear the horn. I cast the circle, raise the cone, And pour the wine when power's flown. "An ye harm none, do as ye will" Heal always, never kill, Work your will but earth revere, And every creature living here. Celebrate as the wheel turns, Dance and leap as balefire burns. Sing to Goddess Moon times three, Drink to God stag-horned he. Soar upon the astral planes, Visit woodland fairy fanes, Swim with dolphins in the sea, Say to all things ' "I am thee." Live in peace with cowan folk, Touch with magick, give them hope; Live with kindness, die with peace, In Summerland to find surcease. -Amber K |

| Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month and better it be when the moon is full, then shall you assemble in some 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 its deepest secrets; to these I will teach all things that are unkown. And when ye shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that ye be truely free, you 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 spirt, and mine also is joy on earth; for my law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest Ideals; stive ever towards them, let nothing 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 the wine of life, and the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the holy vessel 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 sacrafice; for behold I am the Mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the earth. 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 thy 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 behold 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. Therefore, Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirthand reverence within you and those who thinketh to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knoweth the mystery; that if that which thy seekest thou findest not within thee thou wilt 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. |
