A Letter From A Teacher Sent To Pagan Parents

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, I write this letter in concern of your daughter, Aradia Moon. Please don’t take this the wrong way, however, although she is a straight A student and a very bright child, she has some strange habits that I feel we should address. Every morning before class, she insists on walking around the room with her pencil in the air. She says she is “drawing down the moon.” I told her art class is in an hour and to please refrain until then to do any drawing. And speaking of art class, whenever she draws a night sky, she insists on drawing little circles around all the stars and people dancing on the ground. And that brings up dancing, I had to stop her twice for taking off her clothes during a game of Ring Around the Rosey! By the way, what does “skyclad” mean? Aradia has no problem with making friends. I always find her sitting outside during recess with her friends sitting around her in a circle. She likes to share her juice and cookies. It is nice how she wants no one to ever thirst or hunger. However, when I walked over to see what they were doing, she jumped up and told me to stop, pulled out a little plastic knife and started waiving it in front of me. I thought this a bit dangerous, so I took her to the Principal’s Office. She explained to the Principal that she was “opening the circle” to let me

All ye assembled at mine shrine, Mother Darksome and Divine. Mine the Scourge and mine the Kiss, Here I charge you in this sign. All you assembled in my sight, Bow before my spirit bright. Aphrodite, Arianhod, Lover of the Horned God. Mighty Queen of Witchery and night, Morgan, Erione, Nisene, Diana, Bridgid, Melusine, Am I named of old by men, Artemis and Cerridwen, Hell’s dark mistress, Heaven’s Queen. Ye who ask of me a rune, Or would ask of me a boon, Meet me in some secret glade, Dancing round in greenwood shade. By the light of the Full Moon. In a place wild and lone, Dance about mine altar stone, Work my holy mystery, Ye who are feign to sorcery. I bring ye secrets yet unknown. No more shall ye know slavery, who give true worship unto me. Ye who tread my round on Sabbat night, come ye naked to my rite, in token that ye be really free. I teach ye the mystery of rebirth, work ye my mysteries in mirth. Heart joined to heart and lip to lip, five are the points of fellowship, that bring ye ecstasy on earth, for I am the circle of rebirth. I ask no sacrifice, but do vow, no other Law but love I know, By naught but love may I be known. All things living are mine own, from me they come, to me they go. I invoke Thee and call upon Thee Mighty Mothers of us all. Bringer of Fruitfulness by seed and

Science has informed us that we are made from male and female energy and that we have DNA that is formed into pairs. As human beings we are born into a mould that has equal male and female energy and as we grow the balance of energy shift to more masculine or more feminine. If you are male you do not lose the feminine energy you just may not use it to often and vice versa. There are people whose external package does not fit their internal energy very butch women or very effeminate men. There are even people whose internal energy is in conflict with their appearance they choose to change the external appearance. These masculine (M) and feminine (F) energies exist in all of nature and the universe as a witch we use these energies for empowering spells and charms and performing ritual and rite. The M and F energies are not separate energies but unequal energies in-group work it becomes easier to balance M/F energies, as groups tend to be male female male female and so on so on. As a solitary practitioner it not so easy to balance the energies but over the years I have learned to accept my feminine side and masculine side as equals. . In groups the priestess would normal become the goddess in the calling down the moon rite or drawing down the moon, While the priest would become the god in the calling down the sun rite. The individual in the rites assume the total
