CALLING THE QUARTERS

To call the quarters begin in the East. While holding burning incense, walk the circle in a clockwise direction saying the proper invocation below (or one like it). As you walk the Circle also picture a bright yellow light rising from the Earth behind you. Upon returning to the East, leave the burning incense and move to the next quarter.

South is next; with a burning candle follow the same steps as above, except use the invocation for the Southern Guardian and picture the rising energy as red in colour. Leave the candle in the south and move on. For West use a bowl of water and imagine the rising energy in blue. In the North use a bowel of salt and imagine the energy is green.

THE WITCHES RUNE

Darksome night and shining moon,
Hearken to the Witches Rune,
East , then South, West , then North,
Here come I to call the forth.

Earth and Water, Air and Fire,
Work ye unto my desire,
Wand and Pentacle and Sword,
Hearken ye unto my word.

Cords and Censer, Scourge and Knife,
Waken all ye into life.
Power of the Witches Blade,
Come ye as the Charm is made.

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell,
Lend your aid unto the spell.
Horned Hunter of the Night
Work my will by magick rite.

By all the power of land and sea,
As I do will, so mote it be.
By all the might of Moon and Sun,
Chant the spell and be it done.

CHARGE OF THE GOD

I am the radiant King of the Heavens

flooding the Earth with warmth and encouraging the hidden

seed of creation to burst forth into manifestation.

I lift my shining spear to light the lives of all beings

and daily pour forth my golden rays upon the Earth,

putting to flight the powers of darkness.

I am the spirit of all beasts wild and free.

I run with the stag and soar as a sacred falcon against

the shimmering sky.

The ancient woods and wild places emanate my powers,

the birds of the air sing of my sanctity.

I am the harvest, offering up grain and fruits beneath

the sickle of time so that all may be nourished.

For without planting there can be no harvest;

without winter there can be no spring.

I am the thousand named Son of creation.

Know that by all names I am the same.

The spirit of the horned stag in the wild, the endless harvest.

See in the yearly cycle of festivals my birth, death and

rebirth and know that such is the destiny of all creation..

I am the spark of life, the radiant Sun, the giver of peace and rest.

I send my rays of blessings to warm the hearts and strengthen the minds of all.

CHARGE OF THE GODDESS

Now listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old also called among men Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis,

Bride, and by many other names. At her alters, the youth of Lacedaemon in Sparta made

due sacrifice. Whenever ye have need of anything, 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 won its deepest secrets; to these will I 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, 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;

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,

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. Hear

ye the words of the Star Goddess; she is the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven,

whose body encircles the universe. I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon upon the mysteries of the waters, I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From me all things proceed and

unto me they return. Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold,

all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength,

power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you

who seek to know me, know that the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you

know the Mystery: for if that which you seek.

and find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with

you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
