Night, trustiest keeper of my secrets, and stars who, together with the moon, follow on from the fires of daylight, and you, Hecate of the three heads, who know all about my designs and come to help the incantations and the craft of the mages, and Earth, who furnish mages with powerful herbs, and Breezes, Winds, Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, and all the gods of the groves and all the gods of night, be present here to help me!
