Aradia Queen of Witches.

Hear my words and know me!
I shall be called a million names by all who speak!
I am Eternal Maiden!
I am Great Mother!
I am the old one who olds the immortal key!
I am shrouded in mystery, but am known to every soul.

For i am Aradia, Queen of Witches


Hear my words and know me! Whenever the moon rises in the heavens shall my children come to me. Better it be once a month when the moon is full, shall ye assemble is some secret place such as this, and adore the spirit of I.
I who am the Queen of Witches.
And under my watchful eye, my children shall be taught the mysteries of Earth and Nature, of the ways of all magick!
That which is unknown shall be known, and that which is hidden shall be revealed, even the secluded soul shall be pierced with my light. From my cauldron shall be drunk all knowledge and immortality.
Ye shall be free from slavery and ye shall dance, sing, and feast. Music shall surround you, for mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine is also the joy of the Earth.
I do not demand sacrifice! For behold, i am the mother of all living things.

Create and heal
Be strong yet gentle
Be noble yet reverent
Bring forth and replenish.

And, as does the cycle of the moon ever bring to wax and wane and to grow forth again, as do the seasons from one to the next flow in smooth rhythm.
From sowing to reaping, to seeing death and rebirth... so will my children know their own pattern in both worlds.
And ye shall say these words...

I will love and harm none.
I will live, love, die and live again.
I will meet, remember, know and embrace once more.
For the free will of all, and with harm none.
As i will, it now is done, so mote it be!
