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

Charge of Aradia
When I shall have departed from this world,
Whenever ye have need of anything,
Once in the month, and when the moon is full,
Ye shall assemble in some desert place,
Or in a forest all together join
To adore the potent spirit of your queen,
My mother, great Diana, She who fain
Would learn all sorcery yet has not won
Its deepest secrets, then my mother will
Teach her, in truth all things as yet unknown
And ye shall all be freed from slavery,
And so ye shall be free in everything;
And as the sign that ye are truly free,
Ye shall be naked in your rites, both men
And women also,
From: "Aradia the Gospel of Witches" by Charles Leland
Gifts of Aradia
In the 14th century, Aradia taught that the traditional powers of a witch would belong to any who followed in the ways of the Old Religion. Aradia called these powers gifts, because she stressed the point that these powers were the benefits of adhering to the Old Ways, and not the reason for becoming a witch. Aradia taught that a witch must observe the Seasonal Rites and the time of the Full Moon, in order to keep these powers known as gifts.
To Converse with Spirits
To bless or curse with power friends or enemies (To do good or evil).
To conjure the spirits of priests who died leaving treasures.
To find hidden treasures in ancient ruins
To understand the voice of the wind
To change water into wine
To divine with cards.
To cure diseases.
To know the secrets of the hand.
To make those who are ugly beautiful.
To tame wild beasts.
From: "Aradia the Gospel of Witches" by Charles Leland
Invocation to Aradia
Hail, Aradia! From the Amalthean horn
Pour forth thy store of love, I lowly bend
Before thee, I adore thee to the end
With loving sacrifice thy shrine adorn
Thy foot is to my lip, my prayer upborns
Upon the rising incense-smoke, then spend
Thine ancient love, O mighty one, descend
To aid me, who without thee am forlorn.
From: The Witches' Goddess, by Janet and Stewart Farrar
