Solitary Moon Ritual

"My Lady of the Moon, who is called Diana,
Artemis, Levanah, Isis and by many other names,
I come to you to bringing my love and my devotion.
May you grant me the joy of your presence."

"Sweet Goddess, the gentle breeze is the touch of your loving hand,
the wind of storm a reminder of your strength.
The sound of the trees in the wind is your voice,
and the fragrance of flowers borne on the wind is your gift of beauty."

"Most loved Lady, the light of the candle is a guide along our path leading to you;
its warmth the reassurance of your presence and your love.
The light of the Sun is the knowledge you impart to us,
driving out ignorance and those things which can survive only in darkness."

"Lovely One,the quiet pool is the serenity of your being.
The vast sea where life began on this planet
is the vast sea of your being whence all life came;
its waves are the ebb and flow of the universe you rule."

"Goddess of all, the fertility of the earth is a sign of your fertility, whence all life rose. The solidity and permanence are still of it are still less than yours.
The Earth's fertility feeds our bodies, and your fertility feeds our souls."

"My Lady, guide my thoughts.
Let them lead always closer to you."

"Gracious Goddess, guide my actions.
Let them always help and never harm others or myself."

"Lovely One, guide my emotions:
Let them be healing and touched by you always."

"Sweet Goddess, let my mind always be fertile and strong,
that I may grow always toward you."

"Queen of Heaven, I thank you for your presence,
both now and always.
My love and devotion are yours.
Blessed be!
All spirits who have joined me tonight may depart,
with my love.
Return to your proper places."

"So mote it be!"
