- Thanks be to thee, my Lady, for
- Bringing me from the beauty of night
- To the gladsome light of this day,
- To win love and knowledge and power,
- Through understanding your deepest secrets.
- Praise be to thee, gracious Goddess,
- For the blessings thou didst bestow on me--
- My thoughts, my speech, my works, my desires.

- And I charge thee
- To shield me from harm,
- To ward me from hurt,
- To sain me from evil,
- To teach me thy mysteries,
- O Goddess of all mysteries!
- Grant me thy wisdom along with thy magic.
- May the Shining Ones claim me,
- And protect me on sea and on land,
- And lead me on from step to step,
- To the counsels of the Four Cities,
- The magic of the Four Cities!
