Charge of The Goddess

 

      Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called Artemis,

      Astarte, Demeter, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arianhod, Brigid,

      Hectate, Isis, and the many other names.

      I am the beauty of the Green earth and the White moon, and the Mysteries

      of the waters. From me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.

      Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for all acts of love and

      pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and

      compassion, mirth and reverence, within you. And you who seek to know Me,

      know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know

      the Mystery : If that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you

      will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the

      beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
