These Eight words the Rede fulfill:



"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

Compose an altar: place a censer in the center before an image of

the Goddess. Have a twelve-inch (or so) round mirror there as well.

Ring the altar with nine white candles. Burn a protective incense

(such as sandalwood, frankincense, copal or rosemary) in the censer.

Beginning with the candle most directly before the Goddess image,

say these or similar words:



Lunar light protect me!



Repeat as you light each candle until all are glowing.

Now, holding the mirror, invoke the Goddess in her lunar aspect

with these or similar words:



Great Goddess of the Lunar Light

and Mistress of the Seas;

Great Goddess of the Mystic Night

and of the Mysteries;

Within this place of candles bright

and with Your mirror nigh;

Protect me with Your awesome might

while ill vibrations fly!



Standing before the altar, hold the mirror facing the candles so

that it reflects their flames. Keeping the mirror toward the candles,

move slowly, clockwise, around the altar, watching the reflected

firelight bouncing off your surroundings.



Gradually increase your speed, mentally invoking the Goddess to

protect you. Move faster and faster; watch the light shattering the

air, cleansing it, burning away all negativity and all lines along

witch the ill energies have traveled into your home.



Charge your home with the protective light of the Goddess. Race

around the candles until you've felt the atmosphere change, until you

feel that your home has been cleansed and guarded by the Great

Goddess.



When finished, stand once again before the image. Thank the

Goddess in any words you wish. Pinch out the candles one by one, bind

them together with white cord and store them in a safe place until

(and if) you need to use them again for this same purpose.
