Drawing Down the Moon

Invocation The Goddess Speaks
HP: Be all at peace who enter here
Be all inspired who gather here
And let the child come from within
The child with face turned toward the moon
For though each wears a different face
And stands upon a different point in space
Here, in this circle of the moon
Now, in this moment
All are one

All: All are one (2x)

HP: Lift your gaze and chant this rune
Goddess, come down from the moon

All: Goddess, come down from the moon

HP: Lift your arms and chant this rune
Goddess, come down from the moon

All: Goddess, come down from the moon

HP: Lift your hearts and chant this rune
Goddess, come down from the moon

All: Goddess, come down from the moon

HP: Speak with Her yet silently
Joined in perfect harmony

 I am the white rose at dawn
I am the moon and the seas
I am all that was, that is, that shall be
Nor has any mortal ever yet seen
That which lies beyond My veil

Do not look for Me too long in books
Though these may tell of me inspiringly
Nor in tools and trappings
Though these may be beautiful and worthy symbols
Cherish these things, but do not be bound by them

Remember that the Art Magical is art
Alive and flowing and changing, unique unto each
Make of it a system, or a doctrine
And you will only find that I am indeed
Mistress of Surprises

Gather in secret if you must
But do not tarry overlong behind closed doors
For it is in the richness of the earth
And the boundlessness if the sky
That my true temple is to be found
And the moon and sun and stars
will keep your secrets

Look for Me within these things
But above all within your own soul
For it is there I am
