Visualize a triple circle of purplish light around your body while chanting:

Swing the censer, light the light;
Circle round in starlit night.
Chant the words and ring the bells.
Work the magick, weave the spell.

1.We are the children of the night;
Gentle we are -- yet feel our might.

2.Singing, dancing,chanting low
Power building.....let it go!

3.Round and round this Esbat rite;
Power build to work our rite.

4.Brother and sister, together we sing,
Directing the forces that our wills bring.

5.We are the spokes of the mighty wheel;
This power we raise that all might all feel.

6.Deosil circle round about;
building the power,let it go with a shout!

Waxing, waxing, growing, growing-
Diana's power is flowing, flowing.
(repeat)

Hail fair Sun,
Ruler of Day;
Rise on the morn
To light the way.

** To be said while watching the sunset..

Luna, Luna, Luna, Diana
Luna, Luna, Luna, Diana
Bless me, bless me, bless me Diana,
Luna, Luna, Luna, Diana

(repeat)

Gracious Goddess,
You who are the Queen of the Gods,
the lamp of night,
the creator of all that is wild and free:
Mother of woman and man:
lover of the Horned God and protectress of all the Wicca.
Descend, I pray,
with Your Lunar ray of power
upon my circle here!

Blazing God,
you who are King of the Gods
Lord of the Sun,
master of all that is wild and free;
Father of woman and man,
Lover of the Moon Goddess and protector of all the Wicca;
Descend, I pray,
with your Solar ray of power
upon my circle here!

In the circle, rightly cast,
Safe from psychic curse or blast,
I call you now; attend me!

From cave and desert, sea and hill,
By wand, blade, cup and pentacle,
I call you now; attend me!
This is my will, so mote it be!

** This shoud be said while moving or dancing around the alter, to raise power.
