<BR>
The Witches Creed<BR>
<BR>
Hear Now the words of the witches, <BR>
The secrets we hid in the night, <BR>
When dark was our destiny's pathway, <BR>
That now we bring forth into light. <BR>
<BR>
Mysterious water and fire, <BR>
The earth and the wide-ranging air, <BR>
By hidden quintessence we know them, <BR>
And will and keep silent and dare. <BR>
<BR>
The birth and rebirth of all nature, <BR>
The passing of winter and spring, <BR>
We share with the life universal, <BR>
Rejoice in the magical ring. <BR>
<BR>
Four times in the year the Great Sabbat <BR>
Returns, and the witches are seen <BR>
At Lammas and Candlemas dancing, <BR>
On May Eve and old Hallowe'en. <BR>
<BR>
When day-time and night-time are equal, <BR>
When sun is at greatest and least, <BR>
The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned, <BR>
And Witches gather in feast. <BR>
<BR>
Thirteen silver moons in a year are, <BR>
Thirteen is the coven's array. <BR>
Thirteen times at Esbat make merry, <BR>
For each golden year and a day. <BR>
<BR>
The power that was passed down the age, <BR>
Each time between woman and man, <BR>
Each century unto the other, <BR>
Ere time and the ages began. <BR>
<BR>
When drawn is the magical circle, <BR>
By sword or athame of power, <BR>
Its compass between two worlds lies, <BR>
In land of the shades for that hour. <BR>
<BR>
This world has no right then to know it, <BR>
And world of beyond will tell naught. <BR>
The oldest of Gods are invoked there, <BR>
The Great Work of magic is wrought. <BR>
<BR>
For the two are mystical pillars, <BR>
That stand at the gate of the shrine, <BR>
And two are the powers of nature, <BR>
The forms and the forces divine. <BR>
<BR>
The dark and the light in succession, <BR>
The opposites each unto each, <BR>
Shown forth as a God and a Goddess: <BR>
Of this our ancestors teach. <BR>
<BR>
By night he's the wild wind's rider, <BR>
The Horn'd One, the Lord of the Shades. <BR>
By day he's the King of the Woodland, <BR>
The dweller in green forest glades. <BR>
<BR>
She is youthful or old as she pleases, <BR>
She sails the torn clouds in her barque, <BR>
The bright silver lady of midnight, <BR>
The crone who weaves spells in the dark. <BR>
<BR>
The master and mistress of magic, <BR>
That dwell in the deeps of the mind, <BR>
Immortal and ever-renewing, <BR>
With power to free or to bind. <BR>
<BR>
So drink the good wine to the Old Gods, <BR>
And Dance and make love in their praise, <BR>
Till Elphame's fair land shall receive us <BR>
In peace at the end of our days. <BR>
<BR>
And Do What You Will be the challenge, <BR>
So be it Love that harms none, <BR>
For this is the only commandment. <BR>
By Magic of old, be it done! <BR>
