Consecrate the altar with your symbols

This is the night when the breeze will

Rekindles the sacred fire and when the

Sacred stones will sing your new name

It's the night of the breeze rekindling

The sacred fire, of the Sacred stones singing your new name

Draw the circle with the athame and

Undress your candid body

To let the eye of the Gods see your essence

To let the eye of the Gods see your essence

Guardians of the north, sacred spirits of

The earth In the dark of your warm womb

Accept my death

I welcome you

I welcome you

Guardians of the east, sacred spirits of the air

As the sun rises after the night

Guide my soul to a new birth

Guardians of the South, sacred spirits of

The Fire. Protect me and lighten my

Journey on the new path Watch over me

And make my journey on the new path bright

And clear

I welcome you

I welcome you

Guardians of the west

Sacred spirit of the water Purify me and

Make me clear as new spring

I welcome you

I welcome you

Death is waiting and widening its voracious mouth

I am entering the dark before the creation

I am entering the womb of the Goddess

May my body born again

May my soul stay in peace

May my heart be ready

Sink yourself in the warm Earth

Sink your mind in the ancient litany

Dark mother take me in

Dark mother take me in

Let me be

Born again

We all come from the same womb

This is the song of the goddess

The key to the great union

Anoint your breast and your womb

Widen the door of the new fate

And introduce yourself with your new

Name Ensemble of flesh enlived by new

Power Take the cup and the athame

Raising your arms to the sempitern eye

As the cup is female so the knife is

Male

Now joined They bring blessing

Consecrate your sacrifice and

Enjoy the gifts of the great mother

Close your circle and step over

In the truth that all the circles hold

Consecrate your sacrifice and

Enjoy the gifts of the great mother

Close your circle and step over

In the truth that all the circles hold

Go now you, new creature

Now the master of the Only art

That all the arts contains

And where all the arts come from

Live with honour

And with honour die

You the master of the

Only arcane craft

That all the arts gathers...
