The Charge of The Goddess

Keep pure your Highest Ideal; strive ever toward it;
let naught stop you or turn you aside.

I call unto thy soul: "Arise! And come unto Me!

For I am the Soul of Nature, Who giveth Life to the Universe:
from Me all things proceed, and unto Me all things must return.
And before My Face, which is beloved of gods and men,
thine innermost Divine Self shall be enfolded in the Rapture of the Infinite.

Let My Worship be within the heart that rejoiceth,
for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.
And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion,
honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And thou who thinkest to seek for Me,
know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not, unless thou knowest the Mystery:
that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee.

For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning;
and I am That which is attained at the end of Desire.
