(2)满月/新月仪式 满月仪式(“摘月”仪式) 摇铃七次。站在祭坛前,双脚并拢,双臂交叉放于胸前。说: “月之女神啊!您自亘古便被数不清的人们以不同的名字所崇拜着,但您始终如初:您总是微笑着守护着我们,总是在最黑暗时洒下光芒。现在,我祈求您——一切巫术之女王,自上天降临,让您的声音自我的喉咙中发出:” “Goddess of the Moon; my Lady Epona! You have been known by many different names in many different lands and times, yet do you remain constant. You give your light at the darkest of times, smiling down upon us and watching over us. I ask you now, as Queen of all Witchcrafts, to come down and join with me, blending your voice with mine, as I say: 《女神的谕旨》translated by Pine Cone “I am she who watches over all, whether they be awake or asleep. I am the Mother of all Life. It gives me great pleasure that you should pay me homage at the full of the moon. Let my worship always be within your heart. Behold! All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals, therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. If you seek me, know that your seeking and yearning avail you not unless you know the mystery—that if you cannot find what you seek within you, you will never find it without. For behold! I have been with you from the beginning and I am that which is attained at the end of desire. “Know that, together with my Lord, I weave the web of life for everyone. I am at the beginning and at the end of life and of time. I am Maiden; Mother; Crone. Wherever you may be, if you need me then call upon me and I will be there. I live deep within you; I am Life and I am Love. Be true to me and I will always be true to you. Harm none and love all life. So Mote It Be.” 我昼夜守护着众生,因我是众生的母亲。 我很欣慰你们能在这月圆之夜向我致敬,只愿你们对我始终虔诚如一。 看啊!任何爱与乐的行为都是敬拜我的仪式,因此让美与力量,强力与同情,荣耀与谦逊,欢笑与尊敬长存于心间吧! 如想找寻我,要记着你的找寻和呼喊不会有回应!除非你懂得了这奥秘——如在心里寻不着,外面同样寻不着。 因此,看哪!我会从一开始就伴随在你的身边,但你只会在欲望终结处找寻到我。 要知道,我与父神一起,编织每个人的生命之网。我既在生命与时间的开始,也在生命与时间的尽头。我同时是少女,母亲和老妪。 无论你在哪里,如果你需要我,就呼唤我吧!我将与你同在。 我在你内心深处呵!我是生,我是爱。 对我虔诚,我也将对你坦诚。不要伤害任何人,爱一切的生灵。 So mote it be. 放下手臂,冥想。片刻,摇铃三次。 新月仪式
