Today I’m sharing a bit of the prologue of Witchcraft
Theory and Practice by Ly de Angles.
In the prologue you are taken on a journey of a woman
sitting in a dark room. During this journey, we are introduced to some of her
tools of trade and her methods of greeting and/or combining with her Goddess.
The entire prologue brings you to the brink of a story that leaves you longing
for the same connection that this woman finds, but it is the ending of the
prologue that catches my attention and I want to share with you today.
“The Way of the
Goddess will continue, through to most her name is unknown. As long as even one
remembers will the knowledge proceed and the Earth be sustained.
Though the foolish
fear what they don’t understand, the magic goes on and the secret survives, for
the priestess of the Moon is witch, and what she represents is at one with what’s
living and all that she is will continue – for without her the Earth would weep
and the nights would never understand and so would cease to be. She is the
spiral of life – the oceans the rivers, the falling of the dew, the changing of
the seasons. She is the corn at harvest and the birth of birds. She is the wind
on the mountain and the spider’s web at dawn.
All things of beauty
are the name that she summons, for she is the mirror of the Goddess that is
life, and the mother of all living things. If she could not continue, or was
the last of all, then all hope would cease to be.”
