| O My Goddess, Diana, hear my song of adoration. <br> | |
| Hear my voice when I sing Thy praises. <br> | |
| Hear my songs as they rise heavenward, <br> | |
| When the Full Moon, brightly shining, <br> | |
| Fills the heavens with Thy beauty. <br> | |
| O my beautiful Moon Goddess, <br> | |
| Hear me as I stand before Thee. <br> | |
| See me when I reach toward heaven, <br> | |
| When my arms reach upward toward Thee. <br> | |
| When the Full Moon shines upon me, <br> | |
| Give me Thy blessings, O Diana. <br> | |
| Teach me of Thine ancient mysteries, <br> | |
| Ancient rites of invocation that the Holy Strega spoke of, <br> | |
| For I believe the Strega's story: <br> | |
| When she spoke of Thy shining glory, <br> | |
| When she told us to entreat Thee, <br> | |
| Told us when we seek for knowledge to seek<br> | |
| And find Thee above all others. <br> | |
| Give us wisdom, O Diana: <br> | |
| How to bind our oppressors,<br> | |
| How to cure the sick among us. <br> | |
| Teach me, O Diana. <br> | |
| Give me Thy blessings, O Great Moon Goddess.<br> | |
| Shield me from my oppressors.<br> | |
| Receive me as your daughter, Diana. <br> | |
| Receive me, though I am earth-bound. <br> | |
| Grant me ancient Wiccan knowledge. <br> | |
| When my body lies resting nightly, speak unto my inner spirit; <br> | |
| Teach me all Thy holy mysteries. <br> | |
| I believe Thine ancient promise, <br> | |
| Thy promise unto the ancient Wicca <br> | |
| That we who seek Thy holy presence will receive Thy Wisdom. <br> | |
| Now the Full Moon shines upon me. <br> | |
| Hear me! I stand before Thee! <br> | |
| Grant me wisdom! O Diana! <br> | |
| Shield me from my oppressors! <br> | |
| Teach me Thine holy mysteries! <br> | |
| I sing Thy praises unto the heavens. <br> | |
| Let Thy glory shine about me. <br> | |
| Bless us, O gracious Queen of Heaven. <br> | |
| Descend Thou among us; <br> | |
| Descend and conquer, Gracious Goddess. | |
