“O night, faithful friend of mysteries;
And you, golden stars and moon, who follow the fiery star of day;
And you, Hecate, goddess with threefold head,
You know my designs and come to strengthen my spells and magic arts;
And you, earth, who offer your potent herbs to magi;
And airs, winds, mountains, streams, and lakes,
And all you woodland gods,
And all you gods of the night:
Be present now.”
