- ~~ For success in court, go by moonlight to a place where three streams meet, fill hands with water and dip face, saying charm ~~
- I am bathing my face
- In the nine rays of moonlight,
- As Rhiannon bathed her Son
- In the rich fermented milk.
- Strength be in my heart,
- Sense be in my head,
- Dew of honey on my tongue,
- My breath as the incense.
- Black is yonder house,
- Blacker those therein;
- I am the white swan,
- Rising above them.
- All-seeing, all-hearing, all-knowing may the magic be,
- To satisfy and to strengthen me;
- Blind, deaf, and dumb, ever, ever be
- Those who condemn and mock me.
- The tongue of Gwydion in my head,
- The eloquence of Mabon in my speech;
- The composure of Rhiannon falsely-accused
- Be mine in the presence of the multitude.
- I will travel in the name of the Goddess,
- In likeness of bull, in likeness of lion,
- In likeness of eagle, in likeness of spirit:
- More victorious am I than all persons.
