CHAPTER NINE: THE FULL MOON CELEBRATION

When dinner was over the girls went to their rooms.

What's that all about? Asked Tyson noticing the girls leaving the table

They are to perform the Esbat the full moon celebration. Merlin explained

You to are invited to watch but only to watch. He added

Night came in and there was not a light to be seen everywhere was covered in darkness.

I can't see a thing. Max and Tyson complained

Your not meant to just yet, be patient. A druid priestess explained

It was hauntingly quiet then the procession began.

Luna led the procession with Dusk, Dune and Thorn following closely behind her in single file, they wore beautiful white medieval dresses, the bodices had gold on it, the train of their skirts glided gracefully behind them, as usual they wore their black hooded cloaks they each carried a honey coloured candle.

Behind them were a procession of Wiccans, and then the Bladebreakers joined the parade then behind them came the Druids.

The procession came to a stone alter on top of a hill, the gatherers encircled around the chosen ones.

Each of the girls placed their candle in a stone candleholder at each corner of the alter and stood there silently for a moment, the only sound was the wind whispering.

Wisha, wisha, wisha. Came the noise

Then it became deadly silent Tyson was beginning to get nervous.

The girls were standing inwards, Tyson saw Luna close her eyes the girls raised their arms to the full moon.

Lady and Lord of the North

Lend me your presence and your power.

Give me protection, grounding and good sense,

By hill and dale, deep cave, old bone,

By fertile field and soil and stone,

Be with me now, O powers of Earth.

Luna chanted

Lady and Lord of the East

Lend me your presence and your power.

Give me clarity, vision and swift thought

By wind and cloud, tall mountain's height,

By blue horizon, morning light,

Be with me now, O powers of Air

Chanted Dusk

Lady and Lord of the South

Lend me your presence and your power.

Give me inspiration, energy and intuition,

Bonfire, beacon, burning bright,

Embers rich, wild lightning strike,

Be with me now, O powers of Fire

Chanted Thorn

Lady and Lord of the West

Lend me your presence and your power.

Give me love, wisdom and empathy,

Green-hearted lake and river wide,

Crystal fountain, ocean tide,

Be with me now, O powers of Water

Chanted Dune.

Queen of shadows, Queen of light,

Isis, Brighid, Lady bright,

Hathor of the darksome night,

Swell my magic power tonight.

Queen of shadows, Queen of light,

Waters sweep to tidal height,

Witches' powers taking flight,

Be present in my scared rite

Aradia, Diana, Levanah, Selene

They chanted together.

The Bladebreakers noticed that the girls each wore a necklace with a coloured jewel and they were glowing, the candles blew out.

You have each been blessed with your unique powers; remember to use them wisely in battle. Came a whispery voice on the wind.

With your grace we will. The girls replied

The candles blew out and the girls led the procession back to the castle.

That was freaky. Said Tyson a little shook up as they were going to bed.

Your not scared are you? Kai teased

Are you kidding it's just that I can still hear them chanting in my head. Tyson replied

I suggest you get some sleep; we've got a hard day tomorrow. Thorn advised before she went up the next flight of stairs to her room.
