Invocation to the Goddess of the Moon

Excerpt from Lady Rose’s original Book of Shadows (1970s)

Our Lady of the Moon, Enchantment’s Queen
And of Midnight the Potent Sorceres.
O Goddess from the darkest deep of time,
Diana, Isis, Tanith, Artemis,
Your power we invoke to aid us here!

Your Moon a magic mirror hangs in space,
reflecting mystic light upon the Earth,
And every month your three-fold image shines,
Mistress of Magic, Ruler of the Tides both seen and unseen,
Spinner of the Threads of Birth and Death and Fate;
O Ancient One nearest to us of heaven’s lights,
Upon Whose shoulders Nature is exalted,
Vast and shadow, to farthest realms unknown,
Your power we invoke to aid us here!

O Goddess of the Silver Light
That shines in magic rays through deepest woodland glades,
And over sacred and enchanted hills
At still midnight, when Witches cast their spells,
When spirits walk, and strange things are abound;
By the dark cauldron of Your inspiration,
Goddess Three-fold, upon your thrice we call;
Your power we invoke to aid us here!

All praise the lady by saying:
“Blessed be the Name of the Maiden
Blessed be the Name of the Mother
Blessed Be the Name of the Crone”
