“Lovely Goddess of the Bow, Lovely Goddess of the Arrows, Of all hounds and of all hunting. Thou who wakest in starry heaven, When the Sun is slunk in slumber. Thou with moon upon thy forehead, who The chase by night preferrest unto hunting in the daylight, With thy nymphs, Unto the music of the horn, Thyself the huntress, and most powerful. I pray thee: Think, although but for an instant - Upon she who prays unto thee. If thou heeds’t my evocation, And would give good fortune to me - Then in proof, give me a token. Then, may I hear: The croaking of a frog The howling of a dog Or the hissing of a serpent…” (Invokation to Diana, from ‘Aradia - Gospel of the Witches’.) - Through the Womb of Water I enter The Temple beneath the Temple, The Heart below the mountain. I descend the Spire. Arise! See? The Moon is hiding… In Darkness, arise! The Night is whole. In Darkness I do my Lady’s bidding. From out of the corpse - I call forth the soul. The Seed I seek grows within the Waters of the Eye of Death. Unquiet shades, Rise from your graves! Teach me the Arts, My father forbade.

I offer my voice, My breath, My lust, To the daughter of dust, And the mother of dusk. Mistress of those who go Under the guise and grace of Night. Laylah.

(Earth) Oh, come; Daughter of Venus and the Sun. Oh, come! Long I have gazed through Her green eyes, Seeing the waking world as if in a dream.
