Mother darksome and divine Mine the scourge and mine the kiss. Five-point star of life & bliss, Here I charge ye in this sign. Bow before my spirit bright, Aphrodite, Arianrhod, Lover of the Horned God, Queen of witchery and night. Diana, Brigid, Melusince, Am I named of old by men; Artemis and Cerridwen, Hell's dark mistress, Heaven's Queen. Ye who ask of me a boon, Meet ye in some hidden shade, Lead my dance in greenwood glade, By the light of the full moon. Dance about mine altar stone, Work my holy magistry Ye who are fain of sorcery, I bring ye secrets yet unknown. No more shall ye know slavery, Who tread my round the Sabbat night. Come ye all naked to the rite, In sign that ye are truly free. Keep ye my mysteries in mirth, Heart joined to heart and lip to lip. Five are the points of fellowship That bring ye ectasy on earth. No other law but love I know, By naught but love may I be known; And all that liveth is my own, From me they come, to me they go. by Doreen Valiente
