 Making it Go

Darksome night and shining moon; East then South, then West then North.  Hearken to the witches rune; here we come to call Thee forth.  Earth and Water, Air and Fire; Wand and Pentacle and Sword.  Work Ye unto our desire, hearken Ye unto our word.  Candle, Censure, Cup and Knife; powers of the witches blade, waken all Ye unto life; come Ye as the charm is made.  Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell; Horned Hunter of the night, lend Your powers to the spell, and work Your will by magick rite.  Charge our tools with energy; By the light of moon and sun.  And as we will, So Mote It Be.  Chant the spell and be it done.
