The Witches' Rune

by Doreen Valiente and Gerald Gardner

Darksome night, and shining moon

East and south and west and north

Hearken to the Witches' Rune

Here we come to call ye forth

Earth and Water, Air and Fire

Wand and Pentacle and Sword

Work ye unto our desire

Hearken ye unto our word

Cords and censer, scourge and knife

Power of the Witches' blade

Waken all ye unto life

Come ye as the charm is made

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hel

Horned Hunter of the Night

Lend your power unto our spell

Work our will by magick rite

By all the power of land and sea

By all the might of moon and sun

As I do will, so mote it be

Chant the spell and be it done
