Found in the "Witches' Bible" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
"I am the beauty of the green earth
and the white Moon among the stars,
and the mystery of the waters,
and the desire of the heart of man.
Arise, and come unto me.
For I am the soul of nature,
who gives life to the universe.
From me all things proceed
and to me all things must return;
and before my face,
beloved of Gods and Men,
let thine innermost divine self rejoiceth;
For behold,
all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.
And therefore let there be beauty and strength,
power and compassion,
honor and humility,
mirth and reverence,
wisdom and innocence within you.
And thou who thinkest to seek for me,
know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not
unless thou knowest the mystery;
that if that which thou seekest
thou findest not within thee,
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."
