Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of old was called
Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Ceridwen, Diana,
Arionrhod, Brigid, and by many other names:
    "Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and
better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some
secret place and adore the spirit of Me who is Queen of all the
Wise.  You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be
free you shall be naked in your rites.  Sing, feast, dance, make
music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ectasy of the
spirit, and Mine also is joy on earth.  For My law is love unto
all beings.  Mine is the secret that opens the door of youth, and
Mine is the cup of wine of life that is the Cauldron of Ceridwen
that is the holy grail of immortality.  I give the knowledge of
the spirit eternal and beyond death I give peace and freedom and
reunion with those that have gone before.  Nor do I demand aught
of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of all things, and My
love is poured upon the earth."
 
Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust whose feet are the
host 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 mysteries of the waters, I call upon your
soul to arise and come unto me.  For I am the soul of nature that
gives life to the universe.  From Me all things proceed and unto
Me they must return.  Let My worship be in the heart tha rejoices,
for behold -- all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.  Let
there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and
humility, mirth and reverence within you.  And you who seek to
know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not,
unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find
not within yourself, you will never find it without.  For behold,
I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is
attained at the end of desire."
