The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Mother and Father, who we should trust...

But what if their actions aren't so just?

Losing lovers just because

They set things up without a conscience's pause...

I believe that they are trying

To keep me, thus I have been crying.

Keep me from the outside world,

Their precious, trusting baby girl.

Why this curse was set on me...

I wish they'd let things be.

Truth and honesty they should show.

Honor and openness they would bestow.

But I am in a deep dark pit.

Made from their evil spit.

They are satisfied to see.

He and his whole family are against me.

This they want, the crave me to stay.

I want to live, make them stop, I pray!

Save me from my mother's wiles.

And her devious denials.

A whole family would no save he,

If he were unjust to me.

I believe him, because they say

He would not to others betray.

I pray and hope and ask and plea

That he would come back and save me.

That he would not leave me for good.

I miss him so, he was so kind.

I wish sometimes, I could rewind

My past, the time, the things I've done.

And awake with a newer, warmer sun.

Now listen to the words of the Great Mother,

Who was of old also called among men

Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine,

Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride

And by many other names.

Whenever ye have need of anything,

Once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full,

Then shall ye assemble in some secret place,

And adore the spirit of me, who am Queen of all witches.

There shall ye assemble,

Ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets;

To these will I teach things that are as yet unknown.

And ye shall be free from slavery;

And as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites;

And ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love,

All in my praise.

For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy on earth;

For my law is love unto all beings.

Keep pure your highest ideal;

Strive ever towards it, let naught stop you or turn you aside;

For mine is the secret door which opens upon the land of youth,

And mine is the cup of wine of life,

And the cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of immortality.

I am the gracious Goddess,

Who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man.

Upon earth, I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal;

And beyond death, I give peace, and freedom,

And reunion with those who have gone before.

Nor do I demand sacrifice; for behold, I am the Mother of all living,

And my love is poured out upon the earth.

Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess;

She in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven,

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 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 will 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.
