Hearken as the Witch’s Word

Calls the Lady and the Lord

Moon above and Earth below

Sky’s cool blue and sun’s hot glow,

In this right and ready hour,

Fill these pages with thy power.

May no unprepared eye see

The secrets which entrusted be

To I who walk this hidden road

To find the Hearthstone’s calm abode

Guardians from the Four Directions,

Hear me and lend Thy protection:

May these truths of Earth and Skies

Shielded be from prying eyes.

But to the Witches whose map this be

May the way be plain to see;

And, through all the coming Ages,

May we find home in these pages.

So mote it be!
