Hear the owrds of the Dark Goddess who stands within the crossroads,

Whose torchlight illuminates the Underworld.

 

I am the Queen of Magick and the dark of the moon,

hidden in the deepest night.

Iam the mystery of the Otherworld and the fear that coils about your heart in the time of your trials.

I am the soul of nature that gives form to the Universe,

it is I who await you you at the end of the spiral dance.

Most ancient amoung Gods and mortals,

let my worship be within the heart that has truly wasted life,

for behold all acts of magick and art my pleasure and my greatest ritual is love itself.

Therefore let there be beauty in your strength,

compassion in your wrath,

power in your humility,

and discipline balanced through mirth and reverance.

You who seek to remove my veil and behold my true face,

know that all your questioning and efforts are for nothing,

and all your lust and desires shall avail you not at all.

For unless you know my mystery,

look wherever you will,

it will elude you,

for it is within you and no where else.

For behold,

I have ever been with you,

from the very beginning,

the comforting hand that nurtured you in the dawn of life,

and the loving embrace that awaits you at the end of life.

For I am that which is attained at the end of the dance,

and I am the womb of new beginnings, as yet un - imagined and unknown.
