The Charge of the Goddess
Whenever ye have need of any thing, once in the month, and
better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in
some secret place and adore the spirit of She, who is Queen of
all witches. There shall ye assemble, ye who are fain to learn
all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these will
She teach things that are yet unknown. And ye shall be free from
slavery; and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked
in your rites; and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and
love, all in Her praise. For Hers is the ecstasy of the spirit,
and Hers also is joy on earth; for Her law is love unto all
beings. Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let
naught stop you or turn you aside. For Hers is the secret door
which opens upon the land of youth and Hers is the cup of wine of
life, and the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of
immortality. She is the gracious goddess, who gives the gift of
joy unto the heart of man. Upon earth, She gave the knowledge of
the spirit eternal; and beyond death, She gives peace and
freedom, and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor does
She demand sacrifice, for behold, She is the mother of all
living, and Her love is poured out upon the earth.
She who is the beauty of the green earth, and the white moon
among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of
the heart of man, calls unto thy soul. Arise, and come unto Her.
For She is the soul of nature, who gives life to the universe.
from Her all things proceed, and unto Her all things must return;
and before Her face, beloved of gods and men, let thine innermost
divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite. Let Her
worship be within the heart that rejoiceth; for behold, all acts
of love and pleasure are Her rituals. And therefore let there be
beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility,
mirth and reverence within you. And thou who thinkest to seek
Her, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless
thou knowest the mystery; that if that which thou seekest thou
findest not within thee, then thou wilt never find it without
thee. For behold, She has been with thee from the beginning; and
She is that which is attained at the end of desire.
