All that we know is infused with their power, From sun and from moon, from rock and from flower. Guard us Earth Mother and teach us your lore, From silvery moon to the earth's inner core. When working our magick, please help us not fear it, We know you will guide us and strengthen our spirit. Grant us Sky Father your wisdom and strength, To complete all our Workings, to go the full length. You smile down upon us, the light of the sun, Rejoicing in life, with you we are one. Guardians from the four directions, Lady and Lord, it's your protections, And your love for which we look, To inspire and lead as we write this book. Yet to the unschooled eye let see, Confusing words and sophistry. Lead them from these sacred pages, On blessed ways throughout the ages. Yet to the Witch, this book shall stay, Plain and truthful, clear as day. Direct and show, guide and teach, their dreams and goals, please help them reach. For free will of all and harm to none as I have willed it It now is done So mote it be! Peregrine 4/1/97 |
