THE GODDESS OF THE TREE. Great Mother, before the beginning and ending of days Thou art the Great Womb. Hail to Thee, Thou uttermost power of creation. The Gods of ancient days bow low before Thee, they glorify Thee, they deify Thee. Thou art made manifest in Thine aspect as Isis, The Great Mother of all Things, for Thou art the Great Mother beyond time immeasurable, the Matrix, Creatrix, and Uncreate before Time began, before Time was ended; before Creation Thou wert and Thou shalt always be. I glorify Thee. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Hail to Thee, great Isis, Thou who standest above creation, behold I see Thee crowned with the circle of stars and Thy feet are in the dusts of the hosts of creation. All galaxies are Thine, all stars are Thine. Behold, I see Thee diademed with stars and cloak of mid-night blue, all jewelled, all starlit. Thou art across the Heavens. Thy feet are above me. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. [Marginal handwritten note on original: "Extract the copy that this used to compare the original music" — reading uncertain] In the Temple of Silence I will praise Thee, I will glorify Thee, I will worship Thee, I will adore Thee. I will chant the praises of Thine ancient names — Isis, I will adore Thee. Astarte, I will praise Thee. Diana, I will glorify Thee. Hecate, I will worship Thee. Tanita, I will perfume Thee. Kali, I will anoint Thee. Inanna, I will dance before Thee. I will adore you, I will praise you, I will worship you in The Temple of Silence. I will call you in the sacred music. I will call you in the incense. I will call you in the flame. All hail ye Mighty Ones! Hear and descend: Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Hail to Thee, Great Ursa. I look upon Thee in Thine aspect of the Dark and Sterile Mother. I see Thee in Thine aspect of the Bright Fertile One. Thy feet in the Hosts of Heaven. In the Abysses of Create and Uncreation I see Thee in Thine ancient aspects as The Great Ursa. Thou art the Major, Thou art The Ursa Major, and behold Thou draggest the Plough of Heaven before Thee. I call Thee Hecate in Thy dark aspects. Thou art the Dark One, the dark cloaked one, the giver of Death, the taker away of Life. Even before Thou wast created upon the world, Thou wert The Taker. As I see Thee in Thy Bright and Fertile aspect I see Thee as Venus-Aphrodite. I beg of Thee to descend upon the Tree of Life to help and advise me. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Hail to Thee, Gracious Lady, Ruler of the House. Thou art The Great Wife. Thy name is Juno. Put away from Thee all Thy jealousy, Thy protection of Creation. Let thyself be made manifest, for I need Thy help. I need to unite twin souls as soul mates in one body, as Thou wert divided for the sake of comprehension in the spheres of the first worlds of Hockmah and Binah. I need Thy help. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Greetings, salutations to Thee who art breastplated, armed, fully sprung forth from Thy Father's thigh. I call upon Thee, gracious Athene, descend with the Owl of Wisdom. I need Thy advice. I need to balance all those things I have called forth from the Great Womb, from the Great Mother of Time. Please aid me in my work. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Hail to Thee, Great Isis, in Thy Holy and Sacred Name of Asay. Hail to Thee Asay. Hail to Thee. I bow low before Thee. I adore Thee, I worship Thee. Thou art seated within the centre of the great burning orb of the Sun. This is Thy secret and sacred symbol. I know Thy power, as Thou took it away from Ra. So I know the secret also, and this I command from Thee: that Thou bring forth and show this child the Crowned and Glorious Babe. Let the sacrifice be not too great. Let the new risen child still maintain the worship of The Great Mother, for whatever we are, Almighty Isis, we will always be Thy Children. Therefore I call upon Thee that Thou bringest forth the Mighty Mabon, the Gwydion, the Horus Child. Show him crowned and glorious. I ask Thee to descend Thy power upon him. Rise from Thy throne in the centre of the Sun. Walk Thou towards him. Bless him by the power of the Uraeus. Bless him by the power of the flail, bless him by the power of the scourge. Let him die to himself that he may rise new-born. Let him not arrive in his new world with the old evils. Let Set be cast away from him. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Greetings, salutations! Music is played before Thee. Hail to Thee, Hathor, Thou who art The Guardian of the Well Head, Lady of Nature most beautiful. Venus Aphrodite, I implore Thy help, for Thou art twin-sexed and in Thee is unity found. Therefore I ask Thee, by the power of the great Hathor, that the two sexes be fused and become blended so that they become one. Let the child have the Vernal Equinox descend upon him. This I ask of Thee, O Mighty Hathor. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Hermes, Lord God, Guider and Messenger of the Winged Ones, I call and demand Thy help. For Thou art twin-sexed. You carry the double wand. Thou art Hercules. Thou art the Bearded Venus. I command by the power of the sign I was born under that Thou raise Thy Sacred Wand above him and unite his twin deities that they may not war with each other. I command Thee by Thy sacred names of Hermes-Aphrodite. Unite his warring deities that he may become one. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna.

I have called upon Thee in Thine divine aspects. Descend in Thine aspect of the Moon. Let me look upon Thy Glory so I may reflect upon Thy beauties. Let all the night flowers of the Moon, O Habondia, sweet flora, come sweet-smelling before him. Let him become as Thy sister Nephthys, gentle and sweet by nature, full-breasted as Thy sister Nephthys. Let the saucer of milk be placed before him. Let him be seated, that he may drink in peace and calm. [Line partially struck through/overtyped, illegible] most glorious. Thy Heavens shine above Thee. Thou art upon the Earth. All priestesses are Thy Being, all women are Thy Being. Therefore I command Thee that Thou shalt take care of this child, o Thy child. Thou art his Creator. Take him to Thee. Take him to Thy bosom, nurture him, protect him, guard him, guide him, protect him, let him walk upon the face of the Earth. Let him know Thy secrets, Thy woman's secrets. Initiate him. Let him know Thy silence and Thy secret. Arise Thou upon the Tree, O Glorious One. Let Thy divine intelligence arise above him. Let Thy nature be within him. Let Thy guidance and Thy rule and authority lead him to the divine wisdom. Let all anger leave his body so he may understand Thee, most feminine. Let him know Thy inner feelings, the inner secrets of love. Let him lay down his arms. Let him know the glorious rising when men kneel down and pay homage at the altar of Thy body. Let him rise with Thee. Let him rise all golden and rainbow-coloured around the stars. Take him with you, Gracious Mother. Let him rise above the dark night of the soul that he may sit with Thee, glorious, most glorious, upon Thy right hand and with Thy sisters around him. I thank Thee for listening to my intercession. I will praise Thee, I will worship Thee, I will glorify Thee. In the Temple of Silence, I will praise Thee, I will glorify Thee, I will worship Thee, I will adore Thee.

Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. O Sisters, O Daughters, I will love you, I will love you. Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna. Notes: - This is a ceremonial invocation calling on a sequence of goddess-names (Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Tanita, Kali, Inanna) as unified aspects of "The Great Mother," followed by invocations to Athena/Athene, Juno, Hathor, and Hermes — all real deities from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Sumerian, and Hindu tradition, invoked here as aspects of one goddess figure, consistent with a syncretic Wiccan approach to deity. - "Hockmah" and "Binah" are two of the ten Sephirot (spheres) on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life — the same symbol referenced in mow2342i1.jpg and mow2352i1.jpg. - The repeated refrain "Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Tanita Kali Inanna" functions as a chant/mantra throughout, consistent with ritual invocation structure. Authorship note: This document is written entirely in the first person, with no diarist or observer voice present at any point — no third party narrates or describes the scene. Per UK copyright convention, this points to a single author speaking/composing in their own voice throughout, most likely Alex Sanders himself, consistent with this being his own ceremonial invocation text.
