The Witches’ Rune:
by Doreen Valiente and Gerald Gardner

Darksome Night and Shining Moon, East and South and West and North,
Harken to the Witches’ Rune, Here we come to call thee forth!

Earth and Water nad Air and Fire, Wand and pentacle and sword,
Work ye unto our desire, Harken ye unto our word!

Cords and censer, cup and knife, Power of the Witches’ blade,
Wake all ye unto life, Come ye as the charm is made!

Queen of heaven, Queen of hell, Horned Hunter of the night-
Lend your power iunto the spell, And work our will by magick rite!

By all the power of land and Sea, By all the might of moon or Sun-
As we do will so mote it be, Chant the spell and be it done!
