INVOCATION OF THE GREAT GODS
Return to center of circle and face east.
Extend arms in form of a cross.

Chant:
Before me HERNE the Huntsman
Behind me ARADIA the Maiden
On my right hand CERNUNNOS, the Horned God
On my left hand HABONDIA, the Great Mother
About me flame the pentagrams
And above me shines the light of the Goddess.

Repeat the Wiccan Cross.
Rather than performing this in the rather measured cadences of Qabalistic Ritual, a form of dancing and chanting more pleasing to the God-forms of Wicca might profitably be devised.
