To pray a request from the Witch Gods of Old,

When thou needest aid comfort or gold.

Follow this ancient method of prayer,

By candles and incense to the Old Gods Fair.

Light two candles of lily white

For the God and the Goddess

Of Love's pure light

Place between them thy Book of Witch Law

Thy Book of Shadows that hath no flaw

Any day or planet's hour be right

To bask thyself in the Old Gods sight

With an incense of floral scent

Thy prayers are heavenward bent

Anoint a white candle

With thy zodiac ointment

And summon the Old Gods

To meet thy appointment

Light it right up to burn for thee

And speak right out "Blessed be!"

Write thy request in Dove's Blood Ink

On parchment to shine

In the candlelight a bright rosy pink

Light a fourth white candle

And place the parchment below

To represent thy request by candle glow

Calling the Old Gods to attend thy desire

Speak these words over the fire:

"O Lord of life

And gracious goddess delight

I open my heart

To thee my soul takes flight

Read my thoughts

On this parchment letter

And aid me

To make all things better."

Meditates deep on thy request so clear

And offer thy heart to the Old Gods dear

When the last white candle is half way burned

Much from thy meditation

Shall have been learned

Burn the request in the flow of its fire

To the gods then goes thy heart's desire
