ON-LINE FULL MOON MARCH '93
(Shadow Hawk)Ok, we begin....see the darkness of the night settling in around you....and gradually as your eyes adjust you find yourself in the woods, and the sound of the night creatures begin to be heard. Ahead you see the glow of a fire deep in the woods. It is a small fire, that you might easily miss, but it pulls you to it like a compass to the magnet. As you enter a small clearing, you see around you shadowy figures robed and moving in the flickering candle light. You feel the powers of the night begin to stir. On the horizon, you see the full moon breaking in through the trees... and you hear the sounds of a small bell. You stand within the circle... and one figure breaks away and begins to call to the four directions..
(Marc Tripp)
Walking to the East of the cirlce and raising my athame. I summon the Guardian of the Gate of Air! King of the Poweres of the East The Sacred Space is thine for this Night! Open for me the Way-Without-Time. Air of Earth, We are One with Thee! Then turning and walking to the south of the circle I raise my Athame. I summon the Guardian of the Gate of Earth! King of the Powers of the South! The Sacred Space is thine for this Night! Open for us the Way-Without-Time, Earth of Earth, We are one with thee!
Walking to the West..I raise my athame. I Summon the Guardian of the Gate of Water!
King of the Powers of the West! The Sacred space is thine for this Night! Open for us the Way-Without-Time. Water of Earch, We are One with Thee! Walking to the North. I raise my athame. I Summon the Guardian of the Gate of fire! King of the Powers of the North! The Sacred Space is thine for this Night! Open For me the Way-Without-Time.
Fire of Earth, I we are One with Thee! I then return to my place in the circle.
(Shadow Hawk)
Two figures break forth and gather the earth/water and fire/air from the altar where they rest....I cleanse and purify this place with the spirits of Earth and Water... I cleanse and purify this place with the creatures of Air and Fire! I take the Sword of Knowledge and walking to the North, I point it down do the ground. Cascading rivers of fire flow from it
and I walk the circle in a clockwise fashion...and as I walk a curtain of fire flairs up behind me, around the circle I walk. The Circle is cast, we are in the space between the worlds in a place that is not a place, in a time that is not a time, in a space that is not a space. We are in the Sacred Circle. So Mote it be!
(Shadow Hawk)
Two figures walk to the altar, and the power surrounds them. With wure hands they take up the tools of Power, and begin to speak...
(Priestess)
This is the time of the fullness of the symbol of our Lady, the Moon. All things wax and wane, and on this evening the powers of life, of magic, and of creation are at their highest. This is the time of building, of doing. it is a time when the veil between the mundane world and the strange and beautiful realms of elfhame becomes thin indeed. On this night may one transcend the boundaries of the worlds with ease, and know beauty and enchantment.
(Priest)
There is a magnificence to this time. The ancients knew well of the mysteries of this night, and used them well to build and to strengthen themselves.. and to partake of elvish adventures of which we can have but little inkling. Sensuous, mysterious, magical...beauty in human form, in dramatic costume, in solid, soaring architecture, the lithe suppleness of our animal brethren, the arrogant magnificence of a spectacular landscape. And more.....much more. This is a time for weaving of the inchoate into being, of spinning the strands of space and of time to bring forth Creation. For all does rotate, and turn about upon itself;
this is a fundamental principle of the universe, and a mystery of the greatest magnitude. The Gods know of it and we shall also. Weave a spell of Moonlight and fashion with it a fabric of pure magical substance. There is a challenge and a joy to building, and creating. The joyous strife of a just battle, of the cascading passion of lovemaking, and even to the birth-pangs in creating a new life. there is the peace of Aphrodite that follows such as these, a thoroughly fulfilling quietude. And it is easy, really. very easy and the most natural of things.
(Priestess)
This is a time of traveling unseen in the full moonlight, a time for hearing of elfin music not made by humankind. It is a time for oneness with the forest, with the mountains, with the eternal and life-giving sea, with the warm rains and the bolt of lightning that creates the very spark of life. It is a time for pilgrimage to the holy of holies, to stand at last before the cauldron of our Lady and to see form, and substance, and being created anew once more. Hear the sound of the Circle Bell...

(Priestess)
O gracious and beautiful goddess, Teach us to weave magic, Show us thy ancient art to bring forth from chaos and from nothingness that which is Being itself teach us to draw from the Moon, to spin and to fashion fabric magical and pure;
Insubstantial as dew, yet with the strength of iron.
(Priest)
O most excellent Lady, teach us of love, and of beauty, and of sensuousness.
Teach us of daring, and of adventure. Show us of the building of spells of the spinning and shaping of moonlight. Lead our feet in the magical dances of power.
Show to us the paths between the worlds, To realms strange, and beautiful. Lead us through mist and moonlight to places of crystalline rainbow light. Groves of enchantment, thy hollow hills of magic, and pools and lakes of mystery. (hear the sounds of the bell)
(Priestess)
Teach us, O Lady of radiance To speak the language of the wilds, To fly with the freedom of the bird, To live with the power and grace of the feline, To know the ease, the beautiful ease of creating. And to know ecstasy and joy. To stir t he very heights of our being. BLESSED BE !
Prepare for Meditation.
We are all seated comfortably on cushions near a large mirror. It is night, and the moon is full. We stand up where we are, and stepping out of our bodies, leave them resting comfortably behind. We go to the mirror and look through; we can see through to the other side and make out a moonlit grassy hill beyond, rising before us, We step through and fins ourselves in a warm moonlit night. a path stretches off to the right across a broad grassy meadow. We look back briefly and see the portal of our mirror, with the candle lights on the other side; it will be here open and waiting for us on our return. We start up the path in the bright, full moonlight...
In the distance ahead of us we see forest covered hills, the sky is bright with many stars. the wind moans softly in the tall grasses, there is the smell of pine on the air, on either side the mist lies low upon the ground, we continue across the meadow turning until the forest lies off to one side, ahead of us now we see scattered fruit trees, through which we walk. the grass underfoot is wet with dew, our robes drift in the gentle breeze, the ground begins to rise before us and the air is full of the sounds of night birds and crickets. we move tirelessly up the slight incline, seeming to barely touch the ground, fireflies flicker briefly in the distance as we move through the shadows beneath the trees, our movements almost soundless, patches of moonlight cast our shadows, rainbow rimmed on the wet grass. We glance back and, far behind we can see the rolling hills and on the horizon, what seem to be the flickering of a distant thunderstorm, the clouds far away, above us the sky is clear, the moonlight bright. Mist drifts in patches over the meadow, w e pass on through it. there is the heady perfume of flowers, the smell of grass and trees, small animals rustle near us. we move quickly and silently on, passing through the trees like moonbeams, haloes about our shadows. almost as if there were others with us..
but we cannot make them out. The forest closes in as we progress, ahead we make out the what seems to be the entrance to a cave, with a soft multicoloured glow within. As we approach we see what appear to be glistening minerals encrusting the rock about the entrance to the cave. We hear sounds of soft music from within, rainbow colours flash colouring the wisps of mist which drift before it.
We step inside...
We seem to be wrapped in soft misty light. We notice the aroma of sweet flowers.
Ahead is a pool of crystal clear water, catching all the colours, shimmering rainbow mists rise from it. next to the pool a path leads to the right and we follow it. There are other pools in small chambers about the cave, they appear as mirrors to other worlds and other times, the sound of soft music fills the air. Jewel-like minerals are everywhere, the path leads upwards through the rock, to a chamber where we see a great cauldron, mist rises from it encrusting the rim with glistening beads, soft whispering can now be heard. We stop and hold up our hands before the cauldron, fine sparkles of light fly from our fingers, and as we weave patterns with our hands we see, for a moment, a pattern of light of our creation take form, then dissolve to be reality elsewhere. the mist rises thickly from the cauldron and we step forward and peer into it, as through gazing into a mirror we see images of ourselves, and as we gaze these images appear to change, we become better healthier, more perfect, with fiery glowing auras, ourselves improving within and without.
We step back and throw a kiss toward the cauldron, sparkles of light explode in the air, we look and listen for a while, then turn and begin to retrace our steps....
Once again we pass through the chamber of the pools, with its glistening jewels an d soft music, out into the bright moonlight the forested hillside about us, behind us the cave entrance, down through the trees we pass across the meadow, with its whispering grasses and gleaming fireflies, our robes floating gossamer upon the air, silently we move. Ahead on the horizon the storm flashes, small creatures rustle in the grasses, our shadows move with us haloed in moonlight, we move rapidly through the trees and across the meadow, ahead we see the faint glimmer of our own portal, growing larger, brighter as we approach. we stop before it and look around, one last look at the moonlit meadow, the forest, the hills, the fireflies, the mist. Then we step through. We are in the circle again. We go to our bodies and settle comfortably down within them. We have returned.
I call Rilla
Rilla, enter into the Center of the Circle!
(Rilla)
I enter into the center of the circle
(Priestess)
Children of the night, send forth your power to this our Sister, that she feel the relief of our touch. (visualize healing fire flowing from your hands to
Rilla) (and that any aches and pains are melted away and flow into the ground for transmutation)
Rilla, when you feel full of power, earth the extra part...
(Rilla)
(Priestess) and return to your place in the Circle.
(Rilla)...
....
I thank you...
Blessed Be...
(Priestess)
Blessed Be!
(Priestess)
Is there any others that have a boon to ask tonight in this Night of Power?
(Rilla)
I ask a boon.
To send the healing power we have gathered here...to our brother, Otter...so that he may feel our love and healing touch.
(Priestess)
We concentrate on the center of the Circle...and a shadowy figure forms. The shape of Otter takes form, and once again, the Healing Fire reaches out to touch and caress.
(Priest)
The figure waves it's thanks, and gradually fades away, leaving behind the echoes of it's Blessed Be! Are there any other boons or wishes?
(Rilla)
Healing for those not with us? Berrywine, our sister... and Alexandra too.
(Priest)
Heh, We are deep enough for that too. We spread the circle, and many shapes and forms begin to appear. Brothers and Sisters that cannot be here in the Now, but that are always with us. And once more, with a rumbling from deep in the earth... the Healing Fire once more flows forth, and lightning cracks across the sky in response, power to power... and the shadowy figures straighten up, lose their pain, and smiling, slowly fade away. Blessed Be.
(Priestess)
Any others? Any items to be charged? We accept Goddess Charge and Lady Visa (GRIN)
(I.D.)
for Brad...
(Shadow Hawk)
I have a request, I have a wand that I picked up in the Isle of Man a wand of Ash from a mountain that our brothers and sisters died on during the Burning Times. I would like to charge it with the energy of the night. I place it on the altar in the center of the Circle...
(Priest)
Visualize the Fire flowing once more, not healing, but bonding with power, sealing the Wand to do the Lady's Will. So mote it be!
(Priestess)
Any others?
(Rilla)
Ingrid mentioned Brad....
(Rick B)
Charge his monitor!
(Priestess)
Then we continue, please take your chalice and bread.
(Rilla)
who is not with us except in his heart...and would be if he could!
(Priestess)
(lift your chalice)
(I.D.)
Who needs peace!
(Priestess)
O Goddess of beauty, and of Magnificence, O God of laughter and joyous strength.
Cast now thy blessings on this feast of sacrament. That we may honour thee, and learn of thy mysteries of life, of magic of creating. Blessed Be !
(Priest)
Eat now of the gifts of the earth. ever new, ever fresh, ever excellent, know well that the power of life to come forth is beyond bounds in time and space.
Eat now of the bread before you. of the grain that forms a link with the most ancient of living things And with the grain that shall sprout and grow for countless eons to come. Know well that to abide, life must draw vitality and power from the earth. Eat, and know of creation enduring.
Drink now of the sweet wine before you, symbol of the light and beautiful magic, which opens the portals to the realms of enchantment. Know that music, and the lure of the mysterious is the sweetness and most intoxicating of all human experience. Drink, and know of elvish magic.
(Priestess)
I bid you now, finish that which ye have, and meditate upon the significance of that which has been said.
(Shadow Hawk)
Gracious Goddess, thank you for being here tonight...thank you for your Love and your touch and the light you send to show us the Path in the Dark. Blessed Be!

Blessed Be!
