The Three-Fold Law:
O Mother, O Merciful, O Ancient Serpent
O Creator, O Teacher, O Binder Unbound
O Weaver, O Mender, O Goddess Forsworn

Goddess, we who are Your servants
In this rite rededicate ourselves to You
Bind ourselves by our oaths and vows
That we might be ever better servants to Your Purpose.

Let us grow daily in Your image
Let us know ourselves the better
That in seeking out the pride and mortal failings in ourselves
Learn in time to rise above them towards our glorious potential.

Goddess, grant to us Your great wisdom
That we might in seeking come ever closer to the Path
That we never into this world introduce suffering
But strive only ever to be Your instrument in liberating others.

If I should die in service to Your Purpose,
And my flesh and life return to the Weave,
Then I shall turn once more upon the Repeat,
Until in Your glorious Purpose all mortalkind may yet be saved.

O Goddess, let me bless others as You have blessed me.

The Three-Fold Law:
O Mother, O Merciful, O Ancient Serpent
O Creator, O Teacher, O Binder Unbound
O Weaver, O Mender, O Goddess Forsworn

Goddess, we are here today gathered
As You gathered Your Thirteen in the times of darkness
To renew the Weave of kindred and mutual commitment
By sacred pledge and sacred trust to bind ourselves again

Let us place our trust in what unites us
Let us acknowledge those things which divide us
And in seeking a more perfect understanding between us
Let it be instead a source of strength for Your people

Goddess, teach us temperance and patience
That we might in time achieve empathy and understanding
For in division is the root of suffering
But in a rich tapestry a harmony of difference

If I should ever forsake the Goddess' precepts
And place my own good before that of Her people
Then I shall know only loneliness and solitude
Until She might lead me once again to the true realization of Her purpose.

O Goddess, let me bless others as You have blessed me.
