Whenever ye have need of any thing,
once in the month, and
better it be when the moon is full,
then shall ye 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 yet won its deepest secrets;
to these will I teach
that which is 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 also is joy on earth;
for my Law is love unto all
beings.
Keep pure your highest ideal; and strive ever towards it
let
naught stop 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, and freedom,
and reunion with those who have gone
before.
Nor do I demand sacrifice;
for behold, I am the Mother of all
living,
and my love is poured out upon the earth.
