“This is the time of the fullness of the symbol of our Lady, the moon. All things wax and wane, and on this evening the powers of life, of magick, and of creation are at their highest. This is the time of building, of doing. It is a time when the veil between mundane world and the strange and beautiful realms of elphame becomes thin indeed. On this night may one transcend the boundaries of the worlds with ease, and know beauty and enchantment.”
“There is magnificence to this time. The ancients knew well of the mysteries of this night, and used them well to build and to strengthen themselves….and to partake of elvish adventures of which we can have but little inkling. Sensuous, mysterious, magickal….beauty in human form, in dramatic costume, in solid, soaring architecture, the lithe suppleness of our animal brethren, the arrogant magnificence of a spectacular landscape. And more….much more….”
“This is a time for weaving of the inchoate into being, of spinning the strands of space and of time to bring forth Creation. For all does rotate, and turn about upon itself; this is a fundamental principle of the Universe, and a Mystery of the greatest magnitude. The Gods know of it, and we shall also. Weave a spell of moonlight, and fashion with it a fabric of pure magickal substance.”
“There is a challenge and a joy to building, and creating. The joyous strife of a battle, of the cascading passion of lovemaking, and even to the birth-pangs in creating a new life. There is the Peace of Aphrodite that follows such as these……a thoroughly fulfilling quietude. And it is easy, really. Very easy and the most natural of thing.”
“This is a time of travelling unseen in the full moonlight, a time for hearing of elfin music not made by humankind. It is a time for oneness with the forest, with the mountains, with the eternal and life-giving sea, with the warm rains and the bolt of lightning that creates the very spark of life. It is a time for a pilgrimage to the Holy of Holies, to stand at last before the Cauldron of our Lady and to see form, and substance, and being created anew once more.”
