The Dedication

Great Goddess, Queen of Creation, Holy Mother, from whom all things come and to whom all things must return.

I come this day, in the presence of Your avowed servants, to dedicate myself to You, freely and willingly, in body and spirit.

I vow to ever honour You, to do Your Will, and to uphold the sanctity of Your Name.

I wear this Ring as a symbol of my committment, that I will put none above You, and that I am eternally bound to Your Will.

This, by the Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water; by all that is above me and below me, within me and without of me, is my Oath.

I thank You, for bringing me back to You.

I ask that You renew Your blessings of Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy, and I look to You for the guidance and strength to do Your Will.

O Great Goddess, Queen of Creation, Holy Mother,

Blessed Be!
