Welcome my friends we join together through this wondrous thing called
the
Internet to celebrate the new moon!
As a very wise and eloquent witch we all know and love said in the
channel
"It is a time of clearing and releasing
and a time to make preparation to build better in the next cycle.
Let us begin that process now!"
HP:
I always like to star with a few moments to ground and clear ones mind
from the strain
of daily life and the problems of this world. So now for a second
take a few deep breaths
As we breathe deeply in and out.
It is not air we take in.....
It is the silvery light of the Moon,
Symbol of our Lady,
Within every pour in our bodies,
So we breathe in and out
And so this circle does become a fitting place,
For our Ladies presence
P: <standing in south>
We are the children of the Moon.
We are born of shining light
When the moon shoots forth a ray.
We see it within the Goddess and ourselves.
HP:
What we call in our hearts
Goes forth everywhere.....echoing.
Beyond the stars themselves.
And we need have no doubt
That we are heard
all raise there arms |.| <head down> as Goddess names are called:
Harked unto our call Dianna,
Lady of the silver ball
ALL:
Hail Dianna Blessed Be

Beloved daughter of the Sun and the Moon

HP:
I am the Star that rises from the dark and twilight Sea.
Bringer of dreams, ruler of destiny.
Though I am known by thousands of names,
Yet the whole Earth doth venerate me,
I am nature and the beauty of the green earth,
Mistress of all the elements.
Sovereign of all things spiritual
Queen of the Heaven,
Queen of Hell,
Queen of the Dead,
Queen of the Blessed Immortals
The single manifestation of all Gods and Goddess that are.
Harken unto my words and look at me!
Forget not whence thou DIST come and to where thou are called!
And in fulfillment of time,
Thou shall KNOW!
That I am that which WITHIN the and IN thee and OF the,
And thus shall by the spirit attain
The deepest Mystery of Life.
And thus shall thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the ecstasies
of the infinite.
These things have I made law,
Enduring for the millions of ages.

Full Moon
Stand with legs apart and arms raised up and out streching to the sky.
When the moon rides on high
As she crosses the sky,
And the starts in her gown trail behind,
Then the Wiccans below,
Are with love all aglo,
Just to see her so brightly enshrined
On the night of the full moon,
As we sing out tune
Of the Lady that watches above,
We rais high our song
As she glides by so strong
And we bask in the light of her love.
Lower arms
Lovely lady you have been known by many names
Yet We know you and love you as
And with that name we do adore you and worship you.
With the your Lord by your side we do adore you
and give you honor and invite you to join with us
On this your special night
Take wand and draw pentagram above you,
ring bells thrice.
I am she who watches over thee:
Mother to you all.
Know that I rejoice that you do not forget me.
To pay me homage at the full of the moon is meet and right
And brings joy unto yourselves even as it does to me,
Know that with my good Lord, I weave the skein of life for you.
I am at the beginning of life and at its end;
The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone
Wherever you may be, If you seek me know that I am always here.
For I abide deep within you.
Look then within yourselfif you would seek me,
I am life and I am love.
Find me and rejoice; for love is my music and laughter is my song
Be true to me and I will ever be true to you
Love is the Law and Love is the Bond
So Mote it be.
SO MOTE IT BE:
Then may the Lord and Lady bless these offerings (1), bless the giver
and
bless those who will receive.

Lady Autumn(2)
Lady Autumn, Queen of the Harvest,
I have seen You in the setting Sun
with Your long auburn tresses
blowing in the cool air that surrounds You.
Your crown of golden leaves is jeweled
with amber, amethyst, and rubies.
Your long, flowing purple robe stretches across the horizon.
In Your hands You hold the ripened fruits.
At Your feet the squirrels gather acorns.
Black crows perch on Your outstretched arms.
All around You the leaves are falling.
You sit upon Your throne and watch
the dying fires of the setting Sun
shine forth its final colors in the sky.
The purple and orange lingers
and glows like burning embers.
Then all colors fade into the twilight.
Lady Autumn, You are here at last.
We thank You for Your rewards.
We have worked hard for these gifts.
Lady Autumn, now grant us peace and rest.

MABON RITE
I now enjoy the fruits of my labors
Now it is time I celebrate the harvest
As was sowed in the spring, now it is taken.
Now let us pay our dues and enjoy my just rewards.
* Bell is rung three times*
* Move slowly doesil around the circle three times
* As circle say:
Here is the balance of Day and Night
At no point does time stand still.
Ever does the wheel turn and turn again:
Children are born and grow, age advances.
Death will come to visit as surely as the sun doth rise
Since death is inevitable, greet him as a friend.
Remember, he it is who opens the door that leads forward into life.
Life to death and death to life:
Balance and Harmony; ever moving on.
When the circling stops takes up the bowl take a piece
I give thanks to the gods for this sign of a joyful harvest.
*the bell is run 7 times all sit and enjoy there fruit, at this time
there can be happy conversation. When it has been eaten, the bell is
*rung 3 times* Stand again;
Although the season of plenty draws to a close yet are the gods with
us.
Our Lord watches over us as does his lady.
To the good seasons that have past us
The Lord and Lady give us blessings
To the beauty of Autumn and to the friends we treasure.
Peace, joy and love to the World
To that we give our blessings
The ground is well cared for
The crops are bountiful and plenty.
And our lives are the harvest of the gods.
Now that I have enjoyed the fruits of the labors, the harvest of our
lives, let me never forget those who are less fortunate
I offer a part of our fortune to go where it may be needed.
SO MOTE IT BE:
Then may the Lord and Lady bless these offerings (1), bless the giver
and
bless those who will receive.
