LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF THE GREAT MOTHER, WHO WAS OF OLD, CALLED AMONGST MEN, ARTEMIS, ASTARTE, DIONE, MELUSINE, APHRODITE, CERRIDWEN, DIANA, ARIONHOD, BRIDE AND BY MANY OTHER NAMES.
AT MINE ALTAR, THE YOUTHS OF LACEDEMON IN SPARTA MADE DUE SACRAFICE. WHENEVER YE HAVE NEED OF ANYTHING, 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 ME, WHO AM THE QUEEN OF ALL WITCHERIES. THERE SHALL YE ASSEMBLE, WHO ARE FEIGN TO LEARN ALL SORCERIES WHO HAVE NOT AS YET WON MY DEEPEST SECRETS. TO THESE WILL I TEACH THAT WHICH IS AS YET UNKNOWN. AND YE SHALL BE FREE FROM ALL SLAVERY AND AS A SIGN THAT YE BE REALLY FREE, YE SHALL SING, FEAST, AND MAKE MUSIC, ALL IN MY PRESENCE. FOR MINE IS THE ECSTASY OF THE SPIRIT AND MINE IS ALSO JOY ON EARTH. FOR MY LAW IS LOVE UNTO ALL BEINGS. KEEP PURE YOUR HIGHEST IDEALS, STRIVE EVER TOWARDS THEM. LET NONE STOP YOU OR TURN YOU ASIDE. FOR MINE IS THE SECRET THAT OPENS UPON THE DOOR OF YOUTH AND MINE IS THE CUP OF THE WINE OF LIFE AND THE CAULDRON OF CERRIDWEN, WHICH IS HOLY GRAIL OF IMMORTALITY. I AM GRACIOUS GODDESS WHO GIVES THE GIFT OF JOY UNTO THE HEART OF MAN UPON EARTH. I GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIRIT ETERNAL, AND BEYOND DEATH I GIVE PEACE AND FREEDOM AND REUNION WITH THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE. NOR DO I DEMAND AUGHT OR SACRAFICE, FOR BEHOLD I AM THE MOTHER OF ALL THINGS, AND MY LOVE IS POURED OUT UPON THE EARTH. |
