Moon Moon, Mother Moon

Lunar Lore

When the moon rises red and appears large, with clouds,

expect rain in twelve hours.

~ Collected in R. Inwards, “Weather Lore”.

Peas and Beans Sowed upon a new Moon, and she

in good Aspect of Jupiter or Venus, from aery or

watery Signs, they never leave blooming till they

begin to wither.

~Leovitius.

The Egyptians worshipped the cat as a symbol of the moon,

not only because it is more active after sunset,

but from the dilation and contraction of its pupil,

symbolical of the waxing and waning of the night-goddess.

– Brewer, “Dictionary of Phrase & Fable”

Witches

As the sun sets
The moon rises.
We are called.
Gathering deep in the forest
Our capes flap in the wind.
Hoods covering our head
As we form our circle
Hand in hand we take our places.
The elements are called forth:
Wind, rain, earth and fire.
We are filled with their energy.
In a low chant
We call for our Mother.
The Goddess answers our call,
She stands before us,
Center in our circle.
We lower our heads to her grace.
Our circle is filled with her love.
Energy flows from her to us.
Slowly we rise;
Our feet no longer touch the
ground.
Wind rips through the trees.
Flames raise high from the fire.
Rain beats on the earth below
Yet, we remain dry.
Power transfers from Sister to
Sister.
The Goddess’s influence is felt.
Sounds from the forest fill the air.
All is alive.
Energy fills all there,
We know who we are,
The Witches of the present.
Those long past have joined us.
We know our beginning.
We know our past.
We know our future,
Witches now and forever.
