Something Wicked

I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing, but I do own the spells in the story. The story Before Time was is known through out the Wiccan population.

BEFORE TIME WAS

Before time was there was The One. The

One was all and all was The One. The universe was The One, all-wise, all-pervading,

all-powerful, eternally changing. Space moved and The One molded energy into twin

forms, equal and opposite, the Goddess and God, from and of The One. The Goddess and

God were grateful to The One but were surrounded by darkness. Save for The One and

each other, they were alone. They formed energy into gasses and gasses into suns and

planets and moons. They sprinkled the globes about the universe and gave shape to all.

In the sky they placed a billion suns. The Goddess and God rejoiced and were one. From

their union sprang the seeds of all life, of humans that we may achieve incarnation upon

the Earth. The Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol and the God the sun to remind the

inhabitants of the Earth of their fashioners. All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath

the Sun and Moon. All things come to pass thereunder and all occurs with the blessing of

The One, as has been the way of existence before time was. -Scott Cunningham

CREATION

Alone, awesome, complete within herself, the

Goddess, She whose name cannot be spoken, floated in the abyss of the outer darkness,

before the beginning of all things. And as She looked into the mirror of black space, She

saw, by her own light, her radiant reflection, and fell in love with it. She drew it forth by

the power that was in Her and made love to Herself and called Her "Miria, the

Wonderful." Their ecstasy burst forth in the single song of all that is, was, or ever shall

be, and with the song came motion, waves that poured outward and became all the

spheres and circles of the worlds. The Goddess became filled with love, and She gave

birth to a rain of bright spirits that filled the worlds and became all things, all beings. But

in that great movement, Miria was swept away, and as She moved out from the Goddess

She became more masculine. First she became the Blue God, the gentle, laughing God of

love. Then She became the Green One, rooted in Earth, the spirit of all growing things.

At last she became the Horned God, the hunter whose face is the ruddy Sun and yet as

dark as Death. But always desire draws him back to the Goddess, so that He circles Her

eternally, hoping to return in love. All began in love, all seeks to return in love. Love is

the law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.

Long, long ago,

the world slept in the arms of a dark void. From this place of nothingness, Spirit drew

together and created Our Lady of Infinite Love. She danced among the heavens Her feet

beating out the rhythm of all creation. Sparks of light flew from her hair, giving birth to

the stars and planets. As She twirled, these heavenly bodies moved with Her in the divine

symphony of the Universe. When Her dancing quickened, She formed the seas and

mountains. She chanted words of love and joy, as these sounds fell to Earth the flowers

and trees were born. From the pure, white light of Her breath came the colours of the

universe, turning all things to vibrant beauty. From Her bubbling laughter came the

sounds of the pristine running water of the streams, the gentle lapping waters of the lakes,

and the roaring screams of the oceans. Her tears of joy became rains of survival.

When Her dancing slowed and She sought a companion with whom to share the wonders

of the world, Spirit created The Lord as Her lifemate and companion. Because The Lady

so loved the Earth, Spirit made Her companion half spirit, half animal so that together the

Lord and Lady could populate the Earth. The Lord's power moves through her and She

showers the Earth and all upon it with Her blessings. Together the Lord and Lady gave

birth to all the birds, animals, fishes, and people of our world. m To protect and guide the

humans, the Lord and Lady created the power spirits. These energies walk with us

always, though we often cannot see them. Their speech creates positive energy, from

which we draw strength. To each bird the Lady gave a magic song, and to each animal

the Lord bestowed instincts to survive. The Lord is the master of the animal and

vegetable kingdoms, and therefore wears the antlers of a stag upon His great head. This

half-man, half-animal aspect shows His great joy in both the human and animal creations

of the Spirit.
As the humans began to grow and prosper, the Lord and Lady saw the

need for healers among them. And so they drew forth energy from the realm of angels and

from the realm of power animals and from the human realm to create the Witches. The

Witches brought with them the wisdom of the Lord and Lady, the ability to heal, and the

art of magic. The Lady taught the Witches how to cast a magic circle and talk to the

Spirit, the Lord taught them how to communicate with the energies of water, fire, air and

earth and commune with the animal and plant kingdoms.
At first, the humans accepted

the Witches and treated them fairly; but because the Witches were different, humans began

to fear the Wise Ones of the Lord and Lady, thus the Witches became the Hidden

Children, conducting their rites of positive energy in secret lest they risk capture and death

at the hands of uneducated humans.
As the world grew darker with ignorance and

hate of human creation, the Lady took the body of the Moon to represent the gentle light

of Her perfect peace, and the Lord took the vibrant rays of the Sun as His symbol of

strength in perfect love. And once a month, when the Moon is full, the Witches celebrate

and remember the blessings our Mother has bestowed upon us. We call forth Her energy

to help us take care of ourselves, our families, our planet, and our friends. Four times a

year the Witches celebrate the festivals of fire and honour the Lord and His love for us-

these are called the cross-quarters. At the four quarters of the seasons, the Witches

honour the cycle of life and the gifts of the Earth with festivals to both the Lord and Lady-

signifying the balance they have brought us- the Equinoxes and Solstices.
The Lady

has many names- Isis, Astarte, Bride, Diana, Aradia, Hekate- and the Lady walks within

and beside each woman. The Lord has many faces, from the strong Cernunnos to the

delightful Pan. He guards and guides us and resides within and beside each man. When

thunder roars in the heavens, and lightning crack from the ground, the Lord and Lady

dance the divine myth of creation so that we may remember them and know that we are

never alone. When the Sun rises each morning, we bask in the joy of His love for us, and

when the Moon moves through her phases, we understand the cycle of birth, growth,

death and rebirth.
When it is our time, the Witches enter the Summerland, From the

Spirit that moves and flows through the Lord and Lady we continue to learn the mysticism

of the Universe so that we may return, life after life, to serve our brothers and sisters. In

each lifetime, Spirit guides us through learning experiences, preparing us along the way for

our individual missions. Sometimes we are born among our own kind, and in other

instances we must seek out our spiritual family. Many of us do not remember our chosen

path until we reach adulthood, but others know instinctively of their heritage from the time

they form their own thoughts.
We are the Witches, the representation of the growth of

wisdom on our planet. We are the Hidden Children, back from the dead. We are the

people, the power, the change, and we have incarnated in every race and culture. We are

the angels of Earth
