Charge of the Star Goddess-Annabelle
Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess. She, in the dust of whose feet are the Hosts of Heaven, whose body encircleth the universe.
I, who am the beauty of the Green Earth and the White Moon amongst the stars and the mystery of the Waters, and the desire of the heart of man; I call unto they soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the Soul of Nature who giveth life to the universe; from me all things proceed and unto me all things must return. You, beloved of the Gods and men, whose innermost divine self shall be enfolded in the raptures of the Infinite, let my worship be in the heart. Rejoiceth, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals; therefore, let there be beauty and strength; power and compassion; honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And thou who thinkest to seek me, know that thy seeking and yearning avail thee not, unless thou knowest the mystery that if that which thou seekest thou findeth not within thyself, thou wilt never find it without thee. For behold! I have been with thee from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire!

When stones are completed (together) each participant will hold stone in the palms of their hands while breathing on their stones.
Next the stones will be passed over the candle light in cauldron.
Participants will gently dip fingers into water and sprinkle stone. Finally each participant will rub oil into stone.
