The Witchcraft Edict
Bide the Witches Oath of thee,
In perfect love and perfect trust they be.
Known of walking the days and nights,
Circle in and circle out our right.
Cast thusly Circle held,
For bonded spirit will it weld.
To bend or bind the will of place,
And demon spoken to its face.
Marking set in book or tome,
For all is given when thee roam.
Backwards set the moon of dark,
In knowing dreams will it spark.
To face the morning sun or moon,
Gather up the gypsies rune.
The witches of fashioned new,
Triangle of three will you do.
If the memory is what thou seeks,
Candle lit light will finds its peak.
Heed the Goddess and her note,
Or the self you find remote.
From the four you know so well,
Walls break free, secrets tell.
Sent from North the truth of being,
East and West are but seeing.
From the South you find the sand,
That is from where you began.
In the woods you find your place,
With wand in hand will you now face.
Mysteries touch by Day or Night,
Power in you, fear no flight.
Revealed your truth will be,
As a Witches memory.
For in all things you learn is great,
As set by Oath and will this date.
Free your mind to begin,
From what is coming isn't sin.
By virture of the witches heart,
You know now of your part.
With the blade you now hold,
The secret tools of your cove.
Granted is the will of three,
What is sent now shall be.
With the marking you will know,
Ancient touching will you show.
Magic arrives a truthful deed,
Use it for it's only need.
Dirt, fire, water, salt,
Of all the basic are you taught.
Greeting come and greetings go,
To that which is of manners show.
Stones, lines, gems, arches,
Find in rythum and their marches.
Beware the eye of knowing,
For those of lust and pain is showing.
In all of Magic there is a price,
You have the gifts you role the dice.
From all things find you the good or bad,
But a life of Witchcraft is never sad...
