Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Isis, Freya, Aphrodite, Ceridwen, Diana, Brigid, and by many other names:

Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the Moon is full, then shall you assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the Wise. There shall you assemble, you who would learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these will I teach things that are yet unknown. You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and Mine also is joy on earth. For My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret door which opens upon the Land of Youth, and Mine is the Cup of the Wine of Life, and the Cauldron of Ceridwen, which is the Holy Grail of immortality. Upon Earth, I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal; and beyond death, I give peace, and freedom, and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of all things, and My love is poured out upon the Earth.

Hear the words of the Star Goddess; She in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven, and whose body encircles the universe:

I who am the beauty of the green Earth, and the white Moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, call upon your soul to arise and come to me. For I am the soul of Nature, who gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed, and to Me they must return. Let My worship be within the heart that rejoices; for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, 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.
