The Charge of the Goddess
Doreen Valiente & Gerald Gardner (1953)“Listen to the words of the Great Mother,
who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride, and by many other names:
'Whenever ye have need of any thing, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full,
then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of me,
who am Queen of all Witcheries.'”
The single most widely recited liturgical text in modern paganism, spoken in the voice of the Goddess addressing her worshippers.
