God and Goddess Devocation
Samhain, 2004
Maiden, Mother, Crone, the three in one
We thank thee for your presence but now our ritual is done.
We ask that you continue to be with each of us three
As we go forth in life, our spirits be free.
Go now, or stay as you will
So mote it be!
Father, Son, Grandfather, the three in one
We thank thee for your presence but now our ritual is done.
We ask that you continue to keep each of us three
Safe and close as we roam so free.
Go now, or stay as you will
So mote it be!
God & goddess Invocation
Samhain, 2004
The faces of the Goddess be three,
Yet all ways are one.
Tonight we call upon the keeper of the mysteries,
The Queen of the nights and the days,
The Mother of earth and all she surveys.
She who teaches the secrets of life and death
Embrace our darkness,
for it yields light from its depths,
She who grants the gift beyond the dark and the light,
that of the spirit eternal, and life itself.
For it is from her all life flows and to her it must return.
Meet your children at the crossroads,
for those who serve her in truth,
Her torch forever lends the light.
Come, be with us in this light. (light candle NOW)
Blessed Be! Horned Hunter!
Come us with joy and wonder,
As you offer death and return,
we call to you with hearts that burn.
For you are the bringer of life and death,
the blinding light and the silent darkness,
the loving father and the passionate lover.
We desire your safety and your faithfulness.
You are the dancing God, the bringer of winds,
the warming rays, the harvest, and the seed that
lusts to work its way to the surface.
You are there in every struggle, every loss, every victory,
for to know you, is to know ourselves.
To all beginnings you give the promise of an end
to all ends, you give a new beginning.
You are the Lord, the eternal circle of rebirth
you hold the key to eternal life,
and the promise of rebirth.
Come, join us this night
As we ignite this light.

Full Moon
July 2004
The full moon is a time of celebration. Celebrate the energies that you want in your life. Celebrate the energies that are already present in your life, and the growth that has been achieved. It is a time of being in a place of gratitude and thanks. The full moon is a
Time when you celebrate completions in your life- even if they aren't
quite there yet. (Amber Wolfe)

I Cleanse this Space
And make it a safe
And magic place!

To bless the work from out my hands
And loose the ties that bind.

Bequeathed from times of old.

Full Moon:
Gracious Goddess,
You who are the Queen of the Gods,
the lamp of night,
the creator of all that is wild and free;
Mother of woman and man;...
Descend, I pray,
with Your Lunar ray of power
upon our circle here. (Scott Cunningham)
Wondrous Lady of the Moon
You who greets the dusk with silvered kisses;
Mistress of the night and of all magics,
who rides the clouds in blackened skies
and spills light upon the cold Earth;
O Lunar Goddess,
Crescented-One,
Shadow maker and shadow breaker;
Revealer of mysteries past and present;
Puller of seas and ruler of women;
All-wise Lunar Mother,
I greet Your celestial jewel
at the waxing of it's powers
With a rite in Your honor.
I pray by the Moon. (Scott Cunningham)
Any spells here……a chant might be….
