Beyond the valley of the silence
|
along the paths of ancient knowledge
|
led from the dense odours of the wind.
|
You will find yourself in the holy wood
|
consecrated to the primordial gods.
|
Baptized with the dew around the oak of this Wiccian's mass
|
celebrated from the warbling of the crows, og great mother moon.
|
Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna, let me feed at your breast
|
let me celebrate the fertile union of the horned god
|
with the pure white goddess.
|
Follow the call of the wood.
|
Follow the voice of the god.
|
|
Celebrate in the Nemeton with red candles
|
and autumnal flowers on the stone altar.
|
Dress yourself with the sky in the magic circle
|
and purify yourself with the sacred incense of Cernunnos.
|
|
Bless me mother, 'cause I am your son.
|
Blessed be my eyes, therefore I can find your way.
|
Blessed be my nose, therefore I can breath your essence.
|
Blessed be my mouth, therefore I can talk about you.
|
Blessed be my chest, therefore I can be faithful to you.
|
Blessed be my ancestry, therefore I can give life to men and women.
|
as you gave life to the universe.
|
Blessed be my feet, therefore I can follow your way.
|
|
Let the last smoke disappear carried from the wind.
|
Rise your eyes full of astral energy
|
and look at the crow that will lead your return to silence.
|
Let the night fall down on you
|
as the death curtain falls down on life.
|
|
You'll be reborn...
