In honor of the darkening Moon and the Crone within us all:
Charge of the Dark Goddess
"Listen to the words of the Dark Mother, who of old was called Hecate, Nuit, Morrigan, Banba, Erda, Macha, MotherNight, Sekhmet, and many other names:
Whenever you seek wisdom, at the time of the Darkening Moon, come together in love and trust and learn of Me, who am the Wisest of Crones...Ye who search the mysteries of the Earth, the secrets of Air and Darkness, of Blood and Fire, the silence of the uttermost stars, come unto me, and I shall whisper to you in the depths of midnight.
Ye shall approach Me in silence, and as a sign that ye are free from fear, your breast you shall bare to My blade...for fear has no place in My mysteries, and that which you seek of me will destroy you if you fear it.
For I am the dolmen arch beyond which stretch the mysteries of infinity. I am the silence before birth and after death. I am the clouded mirror in which you scry your own soul. I am mist in the twilight, the vast and starry sky of midnight, shadows on the Moon.
All things come to Me in the end, and yet I am the beginning of all. I meet you at the crossroads, I lead you through the darkness, My hand you grasp in the passage between the worlds. To those that toy with Me am I an instrument of self-destruction. yet to the true seeker do I bring knowledge beyond mortal comprehension.
Of you shall I demand the utter truth of all that you are, and in return shall I give you all that you may be, all that I am. For My wisdom is beyond the Ages, and knowledge of My Secrets is power over self, over fear, over death. Nor do I demand aught of you which you cannot give. For I am the Mother of Mysteries, and as you know Me, so shall you learn to know yourself."

Ohhh I absolutely love this Marissa, you ALWAYS seem to post exactly what I have been thinking about or need, it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've always embraced Crone energy, but in the past few months it has become a huge focal point for me. I feel as though 'Crone' is my 2013 word. A few months ago I started seeing owls everywhere and couldn't figure out who was trying to call me, I thought at first it might be Athena but that didn't feel quite right. Then, a few weeks ago, I found a book on working with Crone energy which led me to looking up Crones which suddenly made me want to look up Hecate and lo and behold I found out one of her sacred animals is an owl and it suddenly all made sense.
