Lady, Thou Gate of Life

Lady, thou gate of life,
Attend to us,

So mote it be!

Lady, thou gate of death,
Bring peace to us,

So mote it be!

Oh, with us and for us
Where we shall longest be,

So mote it be!

Be about the morning of our day,
Be about the closing of our life,

So mote it be!

Be at the dawning of our life,
And at the dark’ning of our day,

So mote it be!

Be for us and with us,
Beautiful Goddess of all,

So mote it be!

Consecrate us
Life and love,
Thou Queen of the Gods,
Thou Mother of all,

So mote it be!

Consecrate us
Rites and spells,
Thou Mistress of Magic,
Thou Lady of Mysteries,

So mote it be!

Consecrate us
Heart and body,
Thou Cauldron of Life,
Thou Womb of Nature,

So mote it be!

Each heart and body,
Each day to Thyself,
Each night accordingly,
Thou Mother of Stars,
Thou Lady of Night,

So mote it be!
