"Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month,
and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye
assemble in some secret place to adore the spirit of Me,
who am Queen of all the Wise. You shall be free from
slavery, and as a sign that ye be free, you shall sing,
dance, feast, make music and love, all in My praise.
For Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, but Mine also is joy
on Earth. My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret
door that opens upon the land of youth, and Mine is the cup
of the wine of life, that is the Cauldron of Cerridwen, that is
the Holy Grail of Immortality. I give the knowledge of the
spirit eternal, and beyond death, I give peace, freedom
and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor do I
demand ought in sacrifice, for behold, I am the Mother of
all things, and My love is poured out upon the Earth."
Hear now the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of
whose feet are the hosts of Heaven, whose body encircles
the universe:
"I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the white
moon among the stars, do call upon your souls...arise,
and come unto Me. For I am the soul of nature that gives
life to the Universe. From Me all things proceed, and unto
Me they must return. Let My worship be in the heart that
rejoiceth, for behold - all acts of love and pleasure are My
rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and
compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence
within you. And you who seek to know Me, know that thy
seeking and yearning will avail thee not, unless thou
knowest this mystery: that if that which you seek you
findest not within thee, you will never find it without,
for behold - I have been with thee from the beginning,
and I am that which is attained at the end of desire."
