The Wheel brings memories of the year that is done,
Of the turning seasons and the path of the Sun.
At Yule we watched the life’s new spark
Glowing and growing in winter’s dark.
At Imbolc, Brighid was welcomed in,
Goddess of the arts and messenger of spring.
Ostara’s Hare brought eggs and the Sun,
It was time to grow, the light had won.
At Beltane we danced around Jack-in-the-Green,
And crowned with flowers was the Goddess Queen.
The Sun at Litha was at it’s height,
But the Holly King did win the fight.
Lammas brought harvest and the first baked bread,
But the Goddess mourned, the God was dead.
Mabon celebrated harvest home,
The corn all stored, the year’s work done.
At Samhain we welcome the unseen guest.
The wheel has turned, it’s time to rest.
These are the memories of the Sabbat Wheel.
May they bring joy, and the sadness heal.
We send out thanks for success and pleasure,
And take the lessons as jewels to treasure.
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)

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 my 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….
Full Moon Spell
Abundant Mother, Moon so bright
Hear my plea upon this night.
Your fertile power lend this spell
Make it potent, strong, and well.
(Repeat chant for several moments as participants stare into the flames of the candles and imagine their wishes being fulfilled.)
