Wiccan Rede 1

Bide the Wiccan Law ye must,In perfect love and perfect trust.

Live and let live,Fairly take and fairly give.

Cast the Circle thrice about,To keep the evil spirits out.To bind the spell every time,

Let the spell be spake in rhyme.Soft of eye and light of touch,

Speak little, listen much.Deosil go by the waxing moon,Chanting out the Witches Rune.

Widdershins go by the waning moon,Chanting out the baneful Rune.When the Lady's moon is new,

Kiss the hand to her, times two.When the moon rides at her peak,

Then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North wind's mighty gail,Lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South,Love will kiss thee on the mouth.

When the wind blows from the West,Departed souls will have no rest.

When the wind blows from the East,Expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the cauldron go,Burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be the Lady's tree,Burn it not or cursed you'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn,Let the Beltane fire's burn.

When the Wheel has turned to Yule,Light the Log and the Horned One rules.

Heed ye Flower, Bush, and Tree;By the Lady, Blessed Be.

Where the rippling waters go,

Page 7: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Wiccan Rede 2

Cast a stone and truth you'll know.When ye have a true need,

Hearken not to other's greed.With a fool no season spend,

Lest ye be counted as his friend.Merry meet and merry part,

Bright the cheeks and warm the heart,

Mind the Threefold Law you should,Three times bad and three times

good.When misfortune is enow,

Wear the blue star on they brow.True in Love ever be,

Lest they lover is false to thee.Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil:An' ye harm none, do what ye willFollow this with Mind and HeartMerry ye Meet and Merry ye Part

Witches Creed

Hear Now the words of thee witches,The secrets we hid into the night,

When magic was our destiny's pathway,That now we bring forth into light.

Mysterious water and fire,The earth and the whispering air,

(Primal Energies)By hidden knowledge we know them,

And will and keep silent and dare.(Witches Pyramid)

The birth and rebirth of all nature,(The Wheel of The Year)

The passing of winter and spring,We share with the life universal,

Rejoice in the magical ring.(The Magick Circle)

Four times in the year the Great SabbatReturns, and the witches are seen

At Lammas and Candlemas dancing,On May Eve and old Hallowe'en.

When day-time and night-time are equal,(Solstices)

When sun is at greatest and least,The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned,

And Witches gather in feast.

Thirteen silver moons in a year are,(Ancient Lunar Calender)

Thirteen is the coven's array.Thirteen times at Esbat make merry,

For each golden year and a day.The power that was passed down the age,

(linage)Each time between woman and man,

Each century unto the other,Ere time and the ages began.

When drawn is the magical circle,By sword or Anthame of power,

Its compass between two worlds lies,In land of the shades for that hour.

This world has no right then to know it,And world of beyond will tell naught.The oldest of Gods are invoked there,

The Great Work (Alchemy) of magic is wrought.For the two are mystical pillars,(Chaos vs Order, Force and Form)

That stand at the gate of the shrine,And two are the powers of nature,

The forms and the forces divine(Occult Kabalah).

Page 9: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Witches Creed 2

The dark and the light in succession,The opposites each unto each,

(Full Moon)Shown forth as a God and a Goddess:

Of this our ancestors teach.By night he's the wild wind's rider,

The Horn'd One, the Lord of the Shades.By day he's the King of the Woodland,

The dweller in green forest glades.She is youthful or old as she pleases,

She sails the torn clouds in her barque,The bright silver lady of midnight,

The crone who weaves spells in the dark.The master and mistress of magic,

That dwell in the deeps of the mind,(Psychology and the Science of magick)

Immortal and ever-renewing,With power to free or to bind.

So drink the good wine to the Old Gods,(Communion)

And Dance and make love in their praise,Till realms of the Gods receive us

In peace at the end of our days.And Do What You Will be the challenge,

So be it Love that harms none,For this is the only commandment.

By Magic of old, be it done!

Star Goddess Litany

“Hear the words of the Star Goddess; she in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven and whose body encircles the universe.

I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the white Moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man, call unto thy soul. Arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature, who gives life to the universe. From me all things proceed, and unto me all things must return; and before my face, Beloved of Gods and of men, let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth; for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. And therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery; that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.”

Page 12: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

I am a Pagan

  I am a part of the whole of Nature.

The rocks, the animals, the plants, the elements are my relatives.

Other humans are my sisters and brothers, whatever their races, colours, ages, nationalities, creeds, or sexual preferences.

The earth is my Mother and the sky is my Father. The sun and moon are my Grandparents, and the stars my ancestors.

I am part of this large family of Nature, not the master of it.

I have my own special part to play and I seek to play that part to the best of my ability.

I seek to live in harmony with others in the family of Nature, treating others with respect, not abuse...

I am a Pagan

I pay attention to the seasons within myself - of beginnings, growth, fruition, harvest, endings, rest, and beginnings again.

Life is a Circle with many cycles...

I am a Pagan

I acknowledge that the Divine is everywhere in the energy of life.

I am Animistic. I sense the life force in the oak tree on the hill, in the herbs in the garden, in the birds singing at my window, in the boulders on the hill, in myself, and yes, even in "things" such as my car and computer.

I understand that everything has its physical and non-physical aspects. The physical and spiritual are deeply intertwined, not separate, and one is not better than the other.

Page 13: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

I am a Pagan 2

  I am a Pagan

My worship is one of communion, not grovelling. I share my views with others when I sense it is right, but I do not proselytise - there are many ways, not one way, of spiritual growth.

My holy places are under the open sky … in the Stone Circle in the oak grove on the top of the mound ... on the Vision Rock on the high cliff … in the Garden in the fields … in the Sweat lodge by the stream … by the clear pool of the Sacred Spring … in the Rainbow Cave in the valley.

Yet my worship can be anywhere … my magick circle is portable.

I can call to the four quarters, to the earth and sky, and to the central spirit point wherever I may be.

I am a Pagan

I journey to the Other world in my dreams, my meditations... I fly with my consciousness through time and space.

I return with insights. I go between the worlds for healing, growth, and transformation. Psychic perception is a natural, not supernatural, part of my daily life.

I am a Pagan

I attune myself to the four elements of Nature - Earth, Air, Fire, Water - and to the fifth element, Spirit, which is the force that connects all.

I see these elements as parts of my self - my physical body is my earth, my intellect my air, my will my fire, my emotions my water, and my inner self is my spirit.

I endeavour to keep myself healthy and in balance in all these parts of Self.

Page 14: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

I am a Pagan 3

I am a Pagan

I hear the cries of Mother Earth. I see the pollution of the air, the soil, and the

waters. I see the games being played by nations with

the fire of nuclear weapons. I see spiritual pollution, too - selfishness,

hatred, greed for money and power, despair. I sense these things, but I sense, too, a

cleansing, healing energy manifesting on the planet at this time.

I know that I can help bring the planet into greater balance by seeking balance in my own

life. I know that my attitudes and my way of living

can make a difference. I endeavour to be a channel for healing and

balance.

The Goddess is My Guardian

The Goddess is my guardian, I shall not want She surrounds me in perfect love and perfect peace

She leadeth me beside still waters She re-storeth my soul

She guideth me upon my spiritual path Yeas, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I shall fear no evil For thou art with me

Thy love and thy protection They comfort me

Thou preparest me with strength, courage and knowledge In the presence of thine enemies Thou annointest my head with oil

My cup runneth over and I am filled with an abundance of health and joy Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life

As I dwell in the house of Spirit forever.

Serenity Prayer

God, give us grace to accept with serenitythe things that cannot be changed,

courage to change the thingswhich should be changed,

and the wisdom to distinguishthe one from the other.

Living one day at a time,Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is,Not as I would have it,

Trusting that You will make all things right,If I surrender to Your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

Now and forever. Amen

How To Make Rosary For Moon Goddess and Druid/God Prayers

It is best to string your own beads. You will need:

13 white 8mm beads for the Maiden13 red 8mm beads for the Mother13 black mm beads for the Crone1 silver 10mm bead representing the Full Moon52 silver spacer beads(class "E" 6/0) representing the Moonlight.Nylon thread: white or ecru, or colour of choice

You may begin and end stringing anywhere in the loop, but the tie-off is less visible in the midst of the black beads.

The silver Moon bead is separated from the White Maiden beads by four (4) silver spacer beads. Each white Maiden bead is followed by one silver spacer bead, but the thirteenth bead is followed by four (4) spacer beads.

Then come the red Mother beads, each followed by one silver spacer, but the 13th bead is followed by four (4) spacers.

Then come the black Crone beads, each followed by one silver bead, but the 13th is followed by four (4) spacers. And so we are back at the silver Moon bead. In other words, beads of the same colour are separated by one spacer. The three sets of beads and the larger Moon bead are separated by four spacers. Thirteen (13) beads are used in each set to signify the thirteen months of the lunar year. The silver spacers represent moonlight issuing from the Full Moon bead throughout the life cycle of Maiden, Mother, Crone.

Prayers are said on each bead, while meditating on the mysteries of the Triple Goddess, and the experience of the human life cycle. Men may wish to make a devotion to the Horned God, and honour the life cycle of Youth, Father, and Sage.

Page 67: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Angelic Rosary

The Angelic Rosary is your first line of defence against unwanted chaos. Why do I use the word "unwanted?" Sometimes a little chaos in our lives is good. It shakes us up; it gets us thinking and hopefully moving. (A standard rosary is used).

TO SAY THE ROSARY: Begin by saying the Angelic Alignment:

(ON THE MEDAL, CROSS OR PENDANT, WHATEVER YOUR ROSARY HAS):

“I align myself with universal harmony.

I align myself with the Goddess.

I am in alignment with the God.

I am in alignment with my guardian angel.

So Mote it Be”.

On the first bead, recite the Invocation of the Nine Choirs:

“Brilliant Seraphim I call to thee ; Circle round, bring love to me.

Mighty Cherubim guard my gate ; Remove from me sorrow and hate.

Thrones stand firm, stable be ; Keep me steady on land or sea

I call Dominions, leadership true; May I be fair in all I do.

Circles of protection, Powers form ; Help me weather any storm

Miraculous Virtues hover near ; Element energies I summon here.

Principalities bring global reform ; Bless the world and each babe born.

Glorious Archangels show me the way ; To bring peace and harmony every day.

Guardian angel, Goddess delight ; Gift me with your guiding light.”

Say the Prayer of Gabriel on the second bead:

“Hail Lady, full of grace, the God is with you.

Blessed is the fruit of your womb, the Consort and Son.

Holy Goddess, Mother of Earth,

Work your mysteries for your children,

Now and in the hour of our need.

So Mote it Be”.

Page 68: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Angelic Rosary 1

Say the Prayer of the God on the third bead:

“As the rod is to the God , so the chalice is to the Goddess

And together they are one”.

Say the Star Goddess Litany on the fourth bead:

“Hear the words of the Star Goddess; she in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven and whose body encircles the universe.

I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the white Moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man, call unto thy soul. Arise and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature, who gives life to the universe. From me all things proceed, and unto me all things must return; and before my face, Beloved of Gods and of men, let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth; for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. And therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery; that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.”

The First Mystery

You are now at the point of the first mystery of the angels--Universal love.

Say the Prayer of the God on the fifth bead before the center medal:

“As the rod is to the God, so the chalice is to the Goddess

And together they are one”.

Page 69: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Angelic Rosary 2

Meditate on becoming one with the universal energies, opening your heart to divine love. Touch the Goddess medal to your forehead, then turn the next ten beads, reciting Gabriel's Prayer on each bead. Don't forget to meditate on the mystery. See the beads glow as you become one with this sacred concept.

Gabriel's Prayer:

“Hail Lady, full of grace, the God is with you.

Blessed is the fruit of your womb, the Consort and Son.

Holy Goddess, Mother of Earth,

Work your mysteries for your children,

Now and in the hour of our need.

So Mote it Be”

The Second Mystery

This is the gift of magick in our lives and the ability to change our circumstances through free will--the mystery of freedom.

.

Begin with the Prayer of the God on the large bead,

“As the rod is to the God, so the chalice is to the Goddess

And together they are one.”

then continue with Gabriel's Prayer, turning each bead as you say each prayer.

Don't forget to meditate on the mystery. See the beads glow as you become one with this sacred concept.

“Hail Lady, full of grace, the God is with you.

Blessed is the fruit of your womb, the Consort and Son.

Holy Goddess, Mother of Earth,

Work your mysteries for your children,

Now and in the hour of our need.

So Mote it Be”.

Page 70: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Angelic Rosary 3

The Third Mystery

The third mystery is the mystery of your oath.

This is the knowledge of and ability to work within the cycles of the universe in service to both the planet and our brothers and sisters.

Begin with the Prayer of the God on the large bead,

“As the rod is to the God, so the chalice is to the Goddess

And together they are one”.

Then continue with Gabriel's Prayer turning the successive beads as you say each prayer. Don't forget to meditate on the mystery. See the beads glow as you become one with this sacred concept.

“Hail Lady, full of grace, the God is with you.

Blessed is the fruit of your womb, the Consort and Son.

Holy Goddess, Mother of Earth,

Work your mysteries for your children,

Now and in the hour of our need.

So Mote it Be”.

The Fourth Mystery

The knowledge of reincarnation and karma, birth and death, joy and sorrow teaches us that every action we perform has an equal reaction and how to live with the cycles of the seasons. (Now say the God prayer and Gabriel's prayer as before)

The Fifth Mystery

This is the Gift of wisdom and power to the hidden children of the Goddess. This mystery teaches us to be humble in our will and use our gifts for the good of all, harming none. (God's prayer on big bead, Gabriel's prayer as before) We are now back to the Goddess medal and at the conclusion of our meditation sequence.

End with the Statement of Divinity :

“A great sign appears in the heavens.

It is the Goddess clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet.

And on her head a crown of twelve stars .

The God stands behind her in his glory

With his hands resting upon her shoulders

And together they are one.

So Mote it Be”.

A Pagan Rosary By El-Sharra WhiteRaven Go To Web Site

Prayer beads have been used in many religions not just the Catholic Rosary most of use know of. I thought it would be interesting to make up a set of Pagan Prayer Beads.  

These beads work wonderfully for raising and storing energy, prayer, meditation and focusing.  

To make one you need a length of cord suitable for the length you desire; 54 'filler' beads;

5 larger beads, a charm to rest where the strands meet and a charm to

hang on the end.  

1. String 10 beads, I used black (you can use smaller beads, chain or knots if you want something between them or to add more length).

2. Add one of the larger beads. I used these beads to represent the elements (red, blue, white, green and silver) but you can represent the stages of life, the five fold god or goddess etc...  

3. Add 10 more beads and a larger one; 10 beads and a larger one; 10 more beads and a larger one; 10 more beads.  

4. Take the two loose ends and tie them to the charm you have chosen to hang in the center. This is where in Catholic rosaries the picture of Mary or another saint is.

5.  Add one bead, the last of the larger beads (I put the silver spirit bead here) then the last three small beads.  

Step six- Finish by adding the charm you want to hang at the end. I used a pentacle.  You can make up or use any prayers for the beads. Traditionally the same prayer is said on the 54 small beads; a second on the five larger beads and two other ones on the charms  I use the following interpretations of the beautiful Hail Mary prayer on mine.

Small Beads “Hail Goddess, full of grace; the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among creation And blessed is thy fruit of the womb- the God. Holy Goddess, Mother of all Grant us thy love now And throughout all our lives, So Mote It Be”.   

Elemental Beads “Hail Guardian, powers of (earth, air, fire, water, ether); all life is with thee. Blessed is thy role in creation And blessed is the (earth, air, fire, water, spirit) within me. Blessed Guardians, Keeper of (earth, air, fire, water, ether) Grant us thy wisdom now And throughout all our lives, So Mote It Be”.  

Larger Beads  “Hail Father, full of strength; the Lady is with thee. Blessed art thou seeds of creation And blessed is thy journey through the womb Holy God, Father of all Grant us thy protection now And throughout all our lives, So Mote It Be”.

  Pentacle  “Hail Gods, full of truth; united are thee. Blessed are we your creations And blessed is the knowledge you bestow Divine couple, source of all Grant us thy presence now And throughout all our lives, Blessed Be”.

Simple Version

(Repeat for each element)

“I cleanse and consecrate thee in the names of the Goddess and God. May their blessings reside within thee.”

Draw 4 circles over the element representation and tap 4 times.

Page 78: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

“Creature of ___________ (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)

I cleanse and consecrate thee by the ancient energies of the ___________ (North, East, South, West)

I remove all negativity in in the world and the phantasmMay the blessings of the ancient ones upon you now

So Mote it Be!”

Hold the bowl of water in your hands and raise it before you, silently, in communion with the Gods. Move the water bowl to the center of the altar (on top of your altar pentacle if you have one).

Place three pinches of salt in the water. Stir thrice with your finger (or your Anthame). Then say:

“As the rod is to the God, so the chalice is to the Goddess”.

Begin to lower your finger (or the Anthame) into the water. As they touch, say:

“And together, they are One”.

At this point, envision the water exploding with Divine energy. Make this energy coloured, if you like.

Remove your finger (or the Anthame). Imagine that the altar is a giant cauldron. You have cleansed and blessed each element on the altar. Now, you are going to mix them together - meld them, if you will - into a vortex of positive, Divine energy. Beginning in the North in a clockwise, spiral motion, stir your hand over the altar five times, imagining the energies mixing together.

Tap the hilt of the Anthame (or your fingers) soundly five times (one for each element, plus one for Spirit) at the right, lower corner (the corner closest to you right hand if you are right-handed, the corner closest to your left hand if you are left-handed) to seal the power of the altar.

The devotion is done. Ground and center.

Imagine a white light cleansing all impurities in the object.

“Creature of ___________ (Earth, Air, Fire, Water)Untainted and Pure

Be fit to dwell within this circle”

Then reverse and move in Deosil (Clockwise) circles imaging the colourful light of the element representation being infused

into it.

“Spirit of ________________ (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) Accept this place

Dwell within this Sacred Space”

Then Mix Water and Earth once done saying;

“Purity, purity, of Earth and Water,

Casting a Circle by Silver Ravenwolf

Walk to the north of the room. Relax and take a deep breath. Hold out your index finger from your most dominate hand. Walk in a clockwise direction and imagine a beautiful hedge springing up as your finger glides through the air say: -

"I conjure thee,O great circle of power,

So that you will be for me a boundary between the world of men and the mighty spirits, A meeting place of perfect love, trust, peace and joy

Containing the power I rise within thee. I call upon the guardians of the North, the East, the South and the West

To aid me in this consecration.In the name of the Lord and the Lady

Thus I do conjure thee, o great circle of power!"

Now move to the North quarter. In the North quarter say: -

Corn and Grain, Corn and Grain,All that falls, shall rise again.

We all come from the Sun GodAnd to Him we shall return.

Like a spark of fireRising to the open sky.

We are the EarthWe are the MoonCome rising Sun

Lead us from the tomb

We are one with Creation, we are one with the Gods

We are one with Creation, we are one with the Gods

Let our love and our unity be manifest abroadAs above, so below, by our will, by our  will

God & Goddess Chants 2

Great Goddess, shining bright Maiden, Mother, Crone

Light in the blessed night Shining for her own Oh, Great Goddess,

Mother bless us

Horned God, old forest lord Dancing in the wood

His pipes call through the land Calling who he would

Feel his pleasure, dance his measure

Oh, Great Goddess, Mighty Lord Who by this song are now adored

You are the source of life You are the gates of death

So we dance in spiral with you

Wrap him round with ropes of death."

Walk the area sprinkling a little salt here and there. Saying:

"With this I purify youof the past,

of hurts and memorieskeeping only love."

This one's curseWith these words, I hold thee at bay”

Moon Phase

Moon Phase 1Moon Phase 2

Page 140: A Collection of Devotions, Rituals, Chants, Incantations and More

Moon Phase 1

We stand in this circle, Linked in the fullness of the Universe

And call the cool light of Night to bless our Venture.

Full in its glory We tap the power of the Glorious Orb

Drawing the Light of the Lamp of Night And revealing in the wholeness with which

We bless this (project, thing, person)

~Firestorm Weaver of Phantom Fire Coven

As we gather here, we summon the power of the Waning Moon

To carry away from this (item), any energy that

Will keep potential from being reached. We ask that the disappearing Orb lend us the

power To clear this (item) and purify it to best meet

The need for which we now consecrate it.

~Firestorm Weaver of Phantom Fire Coven

Moon Phase 2

In the beginning there was only dark,Emptiness, loneliness, barren and stark.

From within this vacuum, from within this womb,

All that is now Mothers seedling to bloom.

Tonight there is darkness as Lady of white, Has come through her cycle, and starts off

tonight, Again begins waxing, but up until then,

A time of beginnings for women and men.

To see transformation, for better, for all, Improvement, enlightenment, that is the call.A prayer for tomorrow, a prayer for the light,A prayer through the darkness to Goddess of

White.

Night sky of darkness, you bow to Her light,Shadows and echoes retreat and take flight,Seas and the oceans stretch out to Her gaze,

As our gracious Lady comes round to full phase.

Soul of all nature ahead and behind, Source of all beauty, beloved by mankind,

Spring of compassion and power divine,Open the windows and feel Her light shine.

All that is sought can be found through Her love,

For She reigns around us, below and above. Rejoice in Her garden and dance in Her light To honour our Goddess with this humble rite.

Silver flowing,Diana's Growing;Growing, showing

Love for me.

Ancient Mother, I hear you callingAncient Mother, I hear your song.

Ancient Mother, I hear your laughterAncient Mother, I taste your tears
