The Charge of the Goddess

 

 

When I shall have departed from this world,

Whenever ye have need of anything,

Once in the month, and when the moon is full,

Ye shall assemble in some desert place,

Or in a forest all together join

To adore the potent spirit of your queen,

My mother, great Diana. She who fain

Would learn all sorcery yet has not won

Its deepest secrets, them my mother will

Teach her, in truth all things as yet unknown.

And ye shall all be freed from slavery,

And so ye shall be free in everything;

And as the sign that ye are truly free,

Ye shall be naked in your rites, both men

And women also: this shall last until

The last of your oppressors shall be dead;

And ye shall make the game of Benevento,

Extinguishing the lights, and after that

Shall hold your supper thus.

 

 

 

Usually spoken by the High Priestess after drawing down the moon. Expresses the promise of the Goddess to help witches. Written in 1897 by Charles Leland.
