O My Goddess, Diana, hear my song of adoration.
Hear my voice when I sing Thy praises. Hear my
songs as they rise heavenward, when the Full Moon,
brightly shining, fills the heavens with Thy
beauty. O my beautiful Moon Goddess, hear me as I
stand before Thee. See me when I reach toward
heaven, when my arms reach upward toward Thee.
When the Full Moon shines upon me, give me Thy
blessings, O Diana. Teach me of Thine ancient
mysteries, ancient rites of invocation that the
Holy Strega spoke of, for I believe the Strega's
story: when she spoke of Thy shining glory, when
she told us to entreat Thee, told us when we seek
for knowledge to seek and find Thee above all
others.
Give us wisdom, O Diana: how to bind our
oppressors, how to cure the sick among us. Teach
me, O Diana. Give me Thy blessings, O Great Moon
Goddess. Shield me from my oppressors. Receive me
as your daughter, Diana. Receive me, though I am
earth-bound. Grant me ancient Wiccan knowledge.
When my body lies resting nightly, speak unto my
inner spirit; teach me all Thy holy mysteries. I
believe Thine ancient promise, Thy promise unto
the ancient Wicca that we who seek Thy holy
presence will receive Thy Wisdom. Now the Full Moon
shines upon me.
Hear me! I stand before Thee!
Grant me wisdom! O Diana! Shield me from my oppressors!
Teach me Thine holy mysteries! I sing
Thy praises unto the heavens. Let Thy glory shine
about me. Bless us, O gracious Queen of Heaven.
Descend Thou among us; Descend and conquer, Gracious Goddess.
