A May Eve Incantation
This article was written by Timothy Roderick posted under Pagan
From Wicca: A Year and a Day by Timothy Roderick.
What You'll Need:
- A flower (such as a rose) with many petals that you can strip from the plant and strew about, or a variety of fresh greenery
- A 5-6 inch red taper candle
- Another fresh flower, intact
Traditionally, Witches recite various chants on Beltane Eve. At midnight, mark out a nine-foot diameter circle on the floor using flower petals or greenery. Light a red candle. Hold the candle in your right hand and hold a flower, a well-budded branch of greenery, or other fresh plant in the left hand. Hold both candle and vegetation to the sky. Stand in the east of your circle of flowers and begin walking clockwise. Then recite the following chant three times. Make sure, likewise, that you circumambulate the perimeter of the flower-circle three times while chanting.

For they would call it a sin,
But we will be in the wood all night,
A-conguring summer in!
And we bring good news by word of mouth,
For women, cattle and corn,
For the sun is rising up from the south,
With oak, ash, and thorn. |
