The Gathering

The gathering has been called by the Goddess
My brothers and sisters have gathered in the clearing.
We are unknown to each other except for this nite.
We hear the pipes in the distance.
We stand in the place of those before us.
We have prepared for this nite.
We are covered by protection and love of our Goddess.
We stand before her naked as she sees us.
The stag and the crow have come to join the gathering.
The elements are called:
We feel the wind
We feel the rain
We feel the earth beneath us
We feel the heat of the fire
We form the circle and the energy rises.
We are connected to each other in the way of the Witch.
Our Blessings have been sent and heard.
Our energy has risen from the earth to the wind and has been released.
We close our nite as the moon remains full.
We release hands but remain connected to travel thru our lives for we are Witches.
