The Charge of the Goddess

The Charge of the Goddess

All ye assembled at mine shrine
Mother Darksome and Divine

Mine the scourge and mine the kiss
The fivefold star of love and bliss

All ye assembled in my sight
Bow before my spirit bright
Mighty Queen of Witchery and night

Ye who would call my secret rune
Ye who would ask of me a boon

Meet me in some secret glade
Dance around my woodland shade
By the light of the Full Moon.

In a place, wild and lone
Dance about mine altar stone

Work my holy mystery
Ye who art feign sorcery

I bring ye secrets yet unknown
No more shall ye know slavery

Who give true worship unto me
In token that ye be really free

Come ye all naked to the rite
Ye who tread my round on Sabbat night

I teach ye the mystery of rebirth
Work my mysteries in joy and mirth

Heart joined to heart and lip to lip
Five are the points of fellowship

That bring ye ecstasy on earth
For I am the circle of rebirth

By naught but love may I be known
All things living art mine own

No other Law but love I know
From me they come, to me they go
