| Wicca's Goddesses |
| Song of the Goddess I am the Great Mother, worshipped by all creation and existent prior to their consciousness. I am the primal female force, boundless and eternal. I am the chaste Goddessof the moon, the lady of all magic. The winds and moving leaves sing my name. I wear the crescent moon upon my brow and my feet rest among the starry heavens. I am mysteries yet unsolved, a path newly set upon. I am a field untouched by the plow. Rejoice in me and know the fullness of youth. I am the blessed Mother, the gracious lady of the harvest. I am clothed with the deep, cool wonderof the earth and the gold of the fields heavy with grain. By me the tides of the earth are ruled; all things come to fruition according to my season. I am refuge and healing. I am the life-giving Mother, wonderously fertile. Worship me as the crone, tender of the unbroken cycle of death and rebirth. I am the wheel, the shadow of the moon. I rule the tides of women and men and give release and renewal to weary souls. Through the darkness of death is my domain, the joy of birth is my gift. I am the Goddess of the moon, the earth, the seas. My names and strengths are manifold. I pour forth magic and power, peace and wisdom. I am the eternal maiden, Mother of all, and crone of darkness, and I send you blessings of limitless love. From: Wicca (Scott Cunningham) |

| Invocation to the Goddess Crescent one of the starry skies, flowered one of the fertile plain, flowing one of the ocean sighs, blessed one of the gentle rain; hear my chant'midst the standing stones, open me to your mystic light; waken me to your silver tones, be with me in my sacred rite! Invocation to the Goddess #2 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; lover of the horned God and protectress of all the Wicca: descend, I pray, with your lunar ray of power upon my circle here! Evening Chant to the Goddess Hail fair moon, ruler of night; guard me and mine until the light. (to be said while moon-gazing at night) |
