The Darkness Has Come
The darkness has come.
We have gathered.
The circle is formed.
We have called the elements.
The danger is known.
We have drawn down the power.
The danger is near.
We stand strong under the darkness.
The past has come forward.
We are the present.
No danger is greater than us.
We turn and face the enemy,
With arms raised we call forth our Sisters.
A barrier is formed.
From the depth of darkness evil steps forwards.
Protection covers us.
The smell of sulfur fills the air.
A ground swell stands between us.
Stillness
The fight begins
Energy sent for both sides
The ground trembles.
Unnatural sounds can be heard.
Standing firm I step forward.
Hand raised,
Facing evil,
I call on the power of the Goddess.
I am filled with her light and energy.
Light radiates from me in all directions
Striking all that is dark.
They vanish before us.
Evil has been vanquished.
My power fills the emptiness
For we have triumphed over evil.
We remain and always will be.
No power can remove us.
We remain.
