Traditional Invocation of the Goddess Priest THOU, WHO AT NOON OF NIGHT DOTH REIGN, QUEEN OF THE STARRY REALM ABOVE, NOT UNTO THEE MIGHT WE ATTAIN UNLESS THINE IMAGE BE OF LOVE BY MOON-RAYS' SILVER SHAFTS OF POWER, BY GREEN LEAF BREAKING FROM THE BUD, BY SEED THAT SPRINGETH INTO FLOWER , BY LIFE THAT COURSETH IN THE BLOOD, BY RUSHING WIND AND LEAPING FLAME, BY FLOWING WATER AND FERTILE EARTH, POUR THE WINE OF OUR DESIRE FROM OUT THY CAULDRON OF REBIRTH! HERE MAY WE SEE IN VISION CLEAR THE SECRET STRANGE UNVEILED AT LENGTH: OPEN FOR US THE INNER WAY, THE PATHWAY OF INTELLIGENCE BETWEEN THE GATES OF NIGHT AND DAY, BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF TIME AND SENSE: BEHOLD THE MYSTERY ARIGHT! I INVOKE THEE AND CALL UPON THEE, O MIGHTY MOTHER OF US ALL, BRINGER OF ALL FRUITFULNESS: BY SEED AND ROOT, BY BUD AND STEM, BY LEAF AND FLOWER AND FRUIT, BY LIFE AND LOVE DO I INVOKE THEE TO DESCEND INTO THE BODY OF THIS, THY PRIESTESS: HERE SPEAK WITH HER TONGUE, TOUCH WITH HER HANDS, KISS WITH HER LIPS THAT THY WILL MAY BE FULFILLED. THEN SPEND THINE ANCIENT LOVE, O MIGHTY ONE! DESCEND TO AID US, WHO WITHOUT THEE ARE FORLORN!
Traditional Charge of the Goddess Priestess 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 WITCHERY. THERE SHALL YE ASSEMBLE, WHO ARE FAIN TO LEARN SORCERY, WHO HAVE NOT AS YET WON ITS DEEPEST SECRETS.   TO THESE WILL I TEACH THAT WHICH IS YET UNKNOWN.   AND YE SHALL BE FREE FROM ALL SLAVERY, AND AS A SIGN THAT YE BE TRULY FREE, YE SHALL BE NAKED IN YOUR RITES, AND YE SHALL 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 FOR ALL BEINGS.   KEEP PURE YOUR HIGHEST IDEALS, STRIVE EVER TOWARDS THEM, LET NONE STOP YOU OR TURN YOU ASIDE.   FOR MINE IS THE SECRET DOOR THAT OPENS UPON THE LAND OF YOUTH, AND MINE IS THE CUP OF THE WINE OF LIFE, AND THE CAULDRON OF REBIRTH. I AM THE GRACIOUS GODDESS WHO GIVES THE GIFT OF JOY TO THE HEARTS OF ALL. UPON THE EARTH, I GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIRIT ETERNAL, AND BEYOND DEATH I GIVE PEACE AND FREEDOM, AND REUNION WITH THOSE THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE. NOR DO I DEMAND AUGHT OF SACRIFICE, FOR BEHOLD, I AM THE MOTHER OF ALL THINGS, AND MY LOVE IS POURED OUT UPON THE EARTH. Star Goddess Charge Priest HEAR THE WORDS OF THE STAR GODDESS, IN THE DUST OF WHOSE FEET ARE THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN, AND WHOSE BODY ENCIRCLES THE UNIVERSE. Priestess I, WHO AM THE BEAUTY OF THE GREEN EARTH, AND THE WHITE MOON AMONGST THE STARS, AND THE MYSTERY OF THE WATERS, AND THE DESIRE OF THE HEART, I CALL UNTO YOUR SOUL TO ARISE AND COME TO ME. FOR I AM THE SOUL OF NATURE WHO GIVES LIFE TO THE UNIVERSE: FROM ME ALL THINGS PROCEED AND TO ME ALL THINGS MUST RETURN. BELOVED OF THE GODS AND MEN, WHOSE INNERMOST DIVINE SELF   SHALL BE ENFOLDED IN THE RAPTURE OF THE INFINITE,   LET MY WORSHIP BE IN THE HEART THAT REJOICES. FOR BEHOLD, ALL ACTS OF LOVE AND PLEASURE ARE MY RITUALS.   THEREFORE, LET THERE BE BEAUTY AND STRENGTH, POWER AND COMPASSION, HONOR AND HUMILITY, MIRTH AND REVERENCE WITHIN YOU ALL.   AND YOU WHO WISH TO SEEK ME, KNOW THAT YOUR SEEKING AND YEARNING GAIN YOU NOTHING UNTIL YOU KNOW THE MYSTERY -- THAT IF THAT WHICH YOU SEEK YOU DO NOT FIND 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.
