______________, child of the universe that stands before the altar. Look at the flame before you and know that it is a
pale reflection of a much greater flame. A flame which is the Eternal Flame, and is a flame that burns within you, at the
very core of your soul.
This Eternal Flame has burned since before creation, and will continue to burn throughout all existence. This is the Eternal
Flame that is the Divine spark of the Goddess that lies within you, and all life. It is through this flame that you are always
connected with the Goddess, and through this you are connected to all things. Through this flame you can call upon the Goddess,
and fell her love, strength, and all the power that comes from it.
As you grow spiritually this flame will burn strong, however if you deny your spirit the flame will burn low, never going
out for the flame is always a part of you as you are part of the Goddess, she remains part of you. The Eternal Flame burns
low until feed again through your connection with your spirit, and as you feed the spirit this flame within you shall burn
brighter and you a ready to embark on your spiritual journey.

and full path on which I embark. By my will, I will it so, So mote it be.
(priestess presents person with the charm)
I present you with this charm as a reminder of the spiritual path in which you now take. Let this charm remind you that
the Goddess is within you now and always. So Mote it Be!
Charge of the Goddess
I am the harmonious tune of the songbird
And the laughter of a gleeful child.
I am the bubbling sound of the running brook
And the scent of the flowers wild.
I am the floating leaf upon the breeze
And the dancing fire in the forest glade.
I am the sweet smell of rains upon the soil
And the rapture of passion when love is made.
I am the germination of see in the Spring
And the ripening of wheat in the sun.
I am the peaceful depth of twilight
That soothes the soul when day is done.
I am found in the twinkling of an aged eye...
And found in the birth of a newborn pup....
Yes, birth and growth and death am I
I am the gracious Earth, on whom you sup.
I am your sister, your mother, the wise one.
I wrap you gently in the warmth of my love.
That which you seek you shall find within
Not without, not below, not above.
Remember always, my children, be reverent.
Be gentle, loving and kind to each other
And hold sacred the Earth and its creatures
For I am the Lady: Creator and Mother!
Charge of the God
Listen to the words of the Great Father, who was of old called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne,
Lugh and by many other names.
"My law is harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt
of the Earth that is the body of Cernunnos, that is the eternal circle of rebirth. I give the knowledge of life everlasting
and beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection
blankets the Earth."
Hear the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose voice calls the seasons:
"I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame,
I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the Earth and all its beings. Through me all things
must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, for behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my
rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part
of the mysteries found within yourself, within me. All beginnings have endings and all endings have beginnings."
Seven Fold Blessing
(anoint each part of the body as you say the words)
Blessed Be your feet, that you may walk in the path of the Goddess.
Blessed Be your knees that you may kneel at the ancient altar.
Blessed Be your loins that you may bring forth in joy and create.
Blessed Be your heart which is formed in beauty, that you may give love and receive it.
Blessed be your lips which shall speak the words of power in time to come.
