Hearken as the Witches' Word,
Calls the Lady and the Lord.
Moon above and Earth below,
Sky's cool blue and Sun's hot glow.
In this right and ready hour,
Fill these pages with Thy power.
May no unprepared eye to see,
The secrets which entrusted be.
To I who walk this hidden road,
To find the Hearthstone's calm abode.
Guardians from the Four Directions,
Hear me and lend Thy protection:
May these truths of Earth and Skies,
Shielded be from prying eyes.
But to the Witches' whose Map this be,
May the Way be plain to see;
And, through all the coming Ages,
May we find Home within these pages.
