The Charge of the Godess 1

 There have been so many versions of the Charge of the Goddess. Doreen Valiente, Gerald Gardner, Aleister Crowley, and many others have written Charges of the Goddess and have adapted from each other to create several different versions. There are controversy on who are the true authors as they have been copied and altered so many times. I cannot be certain on the authorship of the different versions. I do not have access to the books so all I have is what is on the internet and unfortunately the internet is not always correct.

Look at the different version and pick the one that feels the best for you. In each version there is a difference but the meaning is still the same. 

Charge of the Goddess
by Doreen Valiente
Mother darksome and divine
Mine the scourge and mine the kiss.
Five-point star of life & bliss,
Here I charge ye in this sign.

Bow before my spirit bright,
Aphrodite, Arianrhod,
Lover of the Horned God,
Queen of witchery and night.

Diana, Brigid, Melusince,
Am I named of old by men;
Artemis and Cerridwen,
Hell's dark mistress, Heaven's Queen.

Ye who ask of me a boon,
Meet ye in some hidden shade,
Lead my dance in greenwood glade,
By the light of the full moon.

Dance about mine altar stone,
Work my holy magistry
Ye who are fain of sorcery,
I bring ye secrets yet unknown.

No more shall ye know slavery,
Who tread my round the Sabbat night.
Come ye all naked to the rite,
In sign that ye are truly free.

Keep ye my mysteries in mirth,
Heart joined to heart and lip to lip.
Five are the points of fellowship
That bring ye ectasy on earth.

No other law but love I know,
By naught but love may I be known;
And all that liveth is my own,
From me they come, to me they go.
