The Charge of the New Aradia

Laura Tempest Zakroff

- - - - -

When sense and world have parted ways,
Whenever need is great and dire,
In brightest sun or moon’s dark phase,
Bring forth will to light the fire.
Send down the roots, raise up your arms,
Call forth spirit, summon its charms
With wand and cauldron, stang and knife,
With cloak and horn and lore of wife.
Bring your wisdom and bide your time
In eyes of heart and blood sweet wine.
In city and wood, gather still
To protect and guide with our will.
Now is the time to heed the call,
Witches together, one and all.
In our truth, we know the power,
That our voice brings down the tower.
To banish, cleanse, bless, heal, and guide
With our secrets and sabbat ride.
It's the hour to change the tides,
For now as Witches we all rise!
