There are two versions of the Charge of the Goddess here, and one version of the Charge of the God ~~enjoy!~~
Charge of the Goddess
" Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me, who is Queen of all the Wise. You shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be free, you shall be naked in your rites. Sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in My presence, for Mine is the ecstasy of the spirit and Mine is also joy on earth. For My law is love unto all beings. Mine is the secret that opens upon the door of youth, and Mine is the cup of the wine of life that is the Cauldron of Ceridwen that is the holy grail of immortality. I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor do I demand aught of sacrifice, for behold, I am the mother of all things and My love is poured upon the earth."
Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven, whose body encircles the universe:
"I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the stars and the mysteries of the waters, I call upon your soul to arise and come unto me, For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return. Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold--all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, yourself, you will never find without. For Behold, I have been with you from the beginning and I am that which is attained at the end of desire
Charge of the God
Listen the the words of the Great Father, who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names:"My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt of the earth that is the body of Cernunnos that is the eternal circle of rebirth. I give the knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, and my protection blankets the earth."
Hear the words of the dancing God, the music of whose laughter stirs the winds, whose voice calls the seasons:
"I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the earth and all it's beings. Thru me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, for behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, all beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings."
Verse Charge of the Goddess
I the Mother, darksome and divine
Say to thee, O children mine
(All ye assembled at mine Shrine)
Mine the scourge and Mine the kiss
The five-point star of love and bliss
Here I charge ye in this sign
All ye assembled here tonight
Bow before my spirit bright
Aphrodite, Arianrhod, Lover of the Horned God
Mighty Queen of Witchery and night
Astarte, Hecate, Ashtaroth, Dione
(Morrigan, Etain, Nisene),
Diana, Brigid, Melusine,
Am I named of old by men, Artemis and Ceriddwen
Hell's dark mistres, Heaven's Queen
(Whene'er trouble comes anoon)
All who would learn of me a Rune
Or would ask of me a boon,
Meet ye in some secret glade
Dance my round in greenwood shade,
By the light of the full moon
(In a place wild and lone)
With the comrades alone
Dance about my altar stone.
Work my holy Magistry
Ye who are fain of sorcery
I bring ye secrets yet unknown
(Whate'er troubles come to thee)
No more shall ye know slavery
Who give due worship unto me
Who tread my round on Sabbat-night
Come all ye naked to the rite,
In token ye be truly free
I teach the mystery of rebirth
Keep ye my mysteries in mirth
Heart joined to heart, and lip to lip
Five are the points of fellowship
That bring ye ecstasy on Earth
I ask no offerings, do but know
No other law but love I know,
By naught but love I may be known,
All that liveth is mine own
From me they come, to me they go
