          ALTAR

               This Altar in the circle's center,
               A focal point that only good may enter.

               Erected to God and Goddess in strength,
               Circular, it has neither breadth nor length.

               Focal point in A Circle of Power,
               A mighty lens for every Tower!

               Sacred to Lord, Maiden, Lady, and Crone,
               The foundation of many a powerful Cone!

               Resting Place of Magick and its implements,
               Let veneration and Love be our only sentiments!

               A tool of will, powerful and free,
               As it is willed, So Mote it Be!
