The Charge of the Goddess

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;to these I shall teach things that are yet unknown.
And ye shall be free from slavery

Keep pure your highest ideal,strive ever toward it,let nothing stop you nor turn you aside. Mine is the cup of the wine of life,and the cauldren of Cerridwen.I am the mother of all living and my love is poured out on the Earth.I am the beauty of the green earth,the white moon among the stars,and the mystery of the waters,and the desire in the hearts of woman.

Before my face let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the raptures of the infinite.Know the mystery,that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee,thou will never find it without thee.

For behold,I have been with thee from the beginning and I await thee now.
