Homework Read and give a summation of the charge of the Goddess including which lines mean the most to you and how you bring the Goddess into your life. That is the original charge by Doreen Valiente
At my altars, the youth of most distant ages gave love and made due sacrifice. Whenever you have need of anything, once in a month and better it be when the Moon is full, then shall you gather in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me, who am Queen of all Witcheries.
There shall you assemble ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these will I teach things that are yet unknown. And you shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that you be really free you shall be naked in your rites. And you shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise; for mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy on Earth, for my law is love unto all beings.
These two lines above mean a lot to me because it allows you to search for many answers that lie unanswered inside. There are many choices that you can choose to allow you to be free in your own celebrations to the Goddess. For it also touches on the elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the Divine Spirit which makes the ceremony complete and the sign of the pentacle.
Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside, for mine is the secret door which opens upon the door of youth. And mine is the cup of the wine of life and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of Immortality.
To me, this statement gives you a firm understanding and a direction in which we may all follow through this portal of righteousness in Her loving way. I have learned at a young age to travel inside to find the answers in which I seek. I did not learn these secrets from books I learned them from searching deep inside. This is how I found astral travel and acquiring the sense of vibration. Each and every one of us has our own vibration and so does everything on this planet. In order to find such things, I turned to the Goddess for answers and I have found them through my heart, my willingness, and they want to go after the inner truth.
I am the gracious Goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man, upon Earth I give knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond death, I give peace and freedom and reunion with those who have gone before; nor do I demand sacrifice, for behold I am the Mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the Earth. Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess.
She is 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 amongst the stars. And the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man, call unto thy soul. Arise and come unto me, for I am the souls of Nature who gives life to the universe.
From me, all things proceed, and unto me, all things must return. And before my face, beloved of Gods and men, thine inmost divine self shall be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.
With these three paragraphs above She shows love, compassion, and an inner sight to grasp onto. It also allows us to understand the mysteries of what we cannot see or touch on this plane of existence. These mysteries and the way it is within each and every one of us. These paragraphs are very strong and with plenty of guidance to assist the new and the old on this never-ending path that we have chosen to follow. What I sum up in the three paragraphs above is: As above so below...
"All systems of magic are claimed to function by this formula. "'That which is above is the same as that which is below...Macrocosmos is the same as microcosmos. The universe is the same as God, God is the same as man, man is the same as the cell, the cell is the same as the atom, the atom is the same as...and so on, ad infinitum." http://groups.msn.com/PaganActionNetworkPAN/asabovesobelow.msnw
The Charge of the Goddess offers a better insight throughout all of my rituals and my life. What she had written opened my eyes and allows me to see deeper into the religion that I practice and follow now. I particularly like: "Arise and come unto me, for I am the souls of Nature who gives life to the universe."

Read and give a summation of the charge of the Goddess including which lines mean the most to you and how you bring the Goddess into your life. That is the original charge by Doreen Valiente

The Charge of the Goddess offers a better insight throughout all of my
rituals and my life. What she had written opened my eyes and allows me to
see deeper into the religion that I practice and follow now.
I particularly like: "Arise and come unto me, for I am the souls of Nature
who gives life to the universe."
