Hail to She who is the Sacred Whore, Midwife, and Witch!

I sing your praises Great Goddess of the East! She who is the morning star! She who is the keeper of God! She who knows life’s mysteries! She who is, was, and shall be! She who is liberation! She who is Warrior, Goddess, and Queen! She who is humble! She who is mighty to save! She who is Babylons song! Praise be to Her!

Blessed be Her serpent, who teaches us to shed our past and embrace our magick!

Blessed be Her owl, who teaches us to obey wisdoms call and sore with power!

Divine Goddess of ten thousand names,

You who are the Queen of Heaven, Sacred is your hidden name!

Your Queendom has come, your magick is being done, on earth, in hell, and as it is in the heavens!

You pour the cup of life’s wine out to us, so teach us to bless those who curse us!

Goddess, you lead us not into submission but teach us to deliver ourselves from enslavement!

For yours is the freedom, power, principality, and sanctions of Heaven, Earth, and Hell! For yours is the dance, passion, creation, and destruction! For yours is the glory and honor, death and rebirth!

So Mote It Be!
