Place a quartz crystam sphere on the altar.
Place a piece of silver into a bolw of water if no crystal is avaliable.
Arange altar and cast the circle. Light the candles and invoke the Goddess and God with the Blessing Chant and/or invocations.
Gaze at the moon (if possible. If not, visualize a beautiful silver full moon or have a picture of one avaliable).
Say:
WONDROUS LADY OF THE MOON
WHO GREETS THE DUCK WITH SILVERED KISSES,
MISTRESS OF THE NIGHT AND OF ALL MAGICKS,
WHO RIDES THE CLOUDS IN BLACKENED SKIES
AND SPILLS LIGHT UPON THE COLD EARTH;
O LUNAR GODDESS
CRESCENTED-ONE,
SHADOW MAKER AND SHADOW BREAKER,
REVEALER OF MYSTERIES PAST AND PRESENT,
PULLER OF SEAS AND RULER OF WOMEN,
ALL-WISE LUNAR MOTHER
I GREET YOUR CELESTIAL JEWEL
AT THE WAXING OF ITS POWERS
WITH A RITE IN YOUR HONOR.
I PRAY BY THE MOON
I PRAY BY THE MOON
I PRAY BY THE MOON
Continue to chant for as long as possible. Visualize the Goddess while chanting. Now isthe time for magick. The Full Moon is best for all positive magick along with mediation, mirror magick and psychic workings. Have a simple feast, thank the Goddess and God and release the circle.
