The Ancient Word Series: The Gospel of Peace
Excerpt for the Month of April, 2007
"The Moon"
Unto the luminous Moon
Which heepeth within itself
The seed of many species,
Let there be invocation
With sacrifice and prayer,
When the Light of the Moon waxeth warmer,
Golden hued plants grow up from the earth
During the season of Spring.
We sacrifice unto the New Moons
And unto the Full Moons.
The crescent of the New Moon is
full of holy Peace.
We sacrifice unto the Angel of Peace.
The radiant and luminous Moon
Keepeth within itself the seed:
The bright, the glorious,
The water-giving,
The warmth-giving,
The wisdom-giving,
The thoughtfulness-giving,
The freshness-giving,
The healing one, the Moon of Peace!
With silent and peace-giving light
The Moon doth shine
Upon the pastures, the abodes,
The waters, the lands and the plants
Of our earthly garden.
The Moon and the Sun,
The holy Wind and the Stars without beginning,
Self-determined and self-moved,
All are regulators of the Holy order,
of the days and nights, of the months and years.
The face of the Moon doth change its aspect,
Yet is ever the same:
As the Holy Law doth reveal a different face
To each of the Children of Light,
Yet is unchanged in its Essence.
We invoke the New Moon and the
Moon that is waning,
And the Full Moon that scattereth the Night,
And the yearly festivals and the seasons of the Heavenly Father, Yehovah
For it was he who gavest the moon
Her increase and her decrease,
That through her we might know the movements
Of the day and of the night.
Thou silver and luminous moon!
We are grateful that we may look on thee,
And see in thy reflection
The blessed face of our Earthly Mother (Wisdom).
Among the world of the sons of men,
The Brothers of Light are flames of radiance,
As the stars pale in the presence of the bright and shining moon.
The moon walketh in brightness across the sky,
And delight in the Holy Law doth fill our hearts.
Peace, Peace, Peace,
Holy Angel of Peace,
Illumine the silver moon with thy holiness,
That all may look upon its beauty
And feel thy eternal Peace.
The desert sky is blue with night,
And we see the first ray of the New Moon
Chaste and beautiful
Then do the Brothers greet one another,
Saying, "Peace be with thee!
Peace be with thee!"
From this moment, throughout all eternity, world without end may every spoken hex, curse, spell, incantation, feast, festival, group and or individual to ruin, counter, hinder and harm that which was established at the beginning of creation in the seen and unseen world based upon the phases of the moon be bound, utterly destroyed and the innocent creatures saved.
Henceforth and forever more.
Amen.

Peace be with you.
