“Call of Nine, My Athame is Fine”
I found this rhyme to call power into an athame before casting a spell in Raven Grimassi’s terrific book “Encyclopedia of Wicca & Witchcraft.”
Raise the blade into the air and say the following words:
Gracious Goddess
Holy and divine
Answer to the call of nine
One – I stand before thy throne
Two – I invoke thee alone
Three – I hold aloft my blade
Four – descend as the spell is made
Five – lend thy power to give it life
Six – thy power into my knife
Seven – on earth, in sky, and shining sea,
Gracious Goddess, be with me
Eight – come now, the call is made
Nine – give power unto my blade.
