BOOK OF SHADOWS

THE WITCHES' RUNE

Darksome night and shining Moon

East then South then West then North

Harken To The Witches' Rune

Here we come to call thee forth.

Earth and Water,

Air and Fire

Wand and pentacle and sword

Work ye unto our desire

And harken ye unto our word.

Cords and censer, scourge and knife

Power of the witches' blade

Waken all ye into life

And come ye as the charm is made.

Queen of Heaven,

Queen of Hell

Horned Hunter of the night

Lend your power unto our spell

And work our will by magic rite.

By all powers of land and sea

By all the might of the Moon and Sun

As we do will so mote it be

Chant the spell and it be done.

[ According to Raven Grimassi, some Wiccans believe that the chant is an invocation of the forces of the four elements.]
