Drawing Down The Moon

In this ritual the Goddess becomes incarnate in you.People around can ask you questions while you are in this trance you may not respond as you have taken the moon goddess into you and it is her desision to answer or not. You stand in front of the altar with your back to it. You hold your wand in your right hand and atheme in your left. You cross your wrists and cross the wand and atheme above them while holding them close to your chest. Your partner stands in front of you and says:

"Diana, queen of night

In all your beauty bright,

Shine on
                                             us here,

And with your silver beam

Unlock the gates of dream;

Rise bright
                                             and clear.

On Earth and sky and sea,

Your magic mystery

Its spell
                                             shall cast,

Wherever leaf may grow,

Wherever tide may flow,

Till all
                                             be past.

O secret queen of power,

At this enchanted hour

We ask
                                             your boon.

May fortune's favor fall

Upon true witches all,

O Lady
                                             Moon!"

Your partner kneels before you and gives you the Five Fold Kiss; that is, he/she kisses you on both feet, both knees, womb, both breasts, and the lips, starting with the right of each pair. He/she says, as he/she does this:

"Blessed be thy feet, that have brought thee in these 

ways.

Blessed be thy knees,
                                             that shall kneel at the sacred 

altar.

Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be.

Blessed
                                             be thy breasts, formed in beauty.

Blessed be thy lips,
                                             that shall utter the Sacred 

Names."

For the kiss on the lips, they embrace, length to length, with their feet touching each others. When he/she reaches the womb, she spreads her arms wide, and the same after the kiss on the lips.he/she kneels again and invokes:

"I invoke thee and call upon thee, Mighty Mother of us all, bringer of all fruitfulness; by seed and root, by bud and stem, by leaf and flower and fruit, by life and love do I invoke thee to descend upon the body of this, thy servant and priestess."

During this invocation he/she touches you with his/her right forefinger on her right breast, left breast, and womb, repeats the set and finally the right breast. Still kneeling, he spreads his arms out and down, with the palms forward and say:

"Hail Aradia! From the Amalthean Horn Pour forth thy store of love; I lowly bend Before thee, I adore thee to the end, With loving sacrifice thy shrine adore. Thy foot is to my lip (he kisses her right foot) my prayer up borne Upon the rising incense smoke; then spend Thine ancient love, O Mighty One, descend To aid me, who without thee am forlorn."

He/she stands up and steps backwards. Then you draws the Invoking Pentagram of Earth in the air with the wand and say:

"Of the Mother darksome and divine

Mine the scrounge, and mine the kiss;

The
                                             five point star of love and bliss

Here I charge you in
                                             this sign."

You should be in a trance now.this is a good time to ask questions only up to 3 so choose wisely.Now is the time to do the Charge or the Witches' Creed. When the Charge or Creed is finished, the Goddess must be dismissed. It is bad magical practice not to do so. He/she faces the you and says:
