Wild one,
child of the hearth,
you sense the ice
and know danger
and excitement.
On this night, I mark your passing, Great Father, through the sunset into the land of shadow.I also mark the passing of all who have gone before, and those who will go after.
Oh Gracious Goddess, eternal mother who gives birth to the fallen, teach me to know that in the time of the greatest darkness there is the greatest light.
O wise Goddess of the starry night, within your divine cauldron, I create this fire of transformation and reflection,
for now is time that is not a time,
in a place that is not a place,
on a night that is not a night,
Between the worlds, and beyond.
