Charge

Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place… to these I will teach things that are  yet unknown.  And ye shall be free from all slavery…Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever toward it.  Let naught stop you nor turn you aside…Mine is the cup of the wine of life and the cauldron of Cerridwen…I am the Mother of all living, and  my love is poured out upon the Earth…I am the beauty of the Green Earth, and the White Moon among the stars, and the Mystery of the Waters, and the desire in the heart of woman…Before my face, let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the raptures of the Infinite…Know the Mystery, that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee…For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
