The Witches Creed

Hear now the words of the witches,
the secrets we hid in the night,
When dark was our destiny's pathway,
that now we bring forth into light.
Mysterious water and fire,
the earth and the wide-ranging air.
By hidden quintessence we know them,
and will and keep silent and dare.
The birth and rebirth of all nature,
the passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal,
rejoice in the magickal ring.
Four times in the year the Great Sabbat
returns and witches are seen,
At Lammas and Candlemas dancing,
on May Eve and old Hallowe'en.
