	Equality and Pluralism in the Divine Embodied: An Exegesis of The Charge of the Goddess Part I by Kila
		Therefore, it is not necessary for the Goddess to choose one person to be her representative to the masses.
		If we are the embodied Divine, if we are a reflection of the Goddess in her variegated beauty, then surely we are worthy and able to listen to her as she speaks in our souls.
		When we communicate with the Goddess it is an intercourse of the spirit from the divine to the Divine.

	The Charge of the Goddess
		Common to all Witches is the Charge of the Goddess.
		This version of the Charge, however, is based upon a much older, non-celtic work published by Charles Leland in his book Aradia, Gospel of the Witches, in which an old Italian witch named Maddalena passed on her knowledge of the Craft.
		I have decided to include the "Charge of Aradia" as is included in Raven Grimassi's "Ways of the Strega." I feel that this text is very important in understanding any Tradition of Witchcraft.

	Magickalpair Realm~~ Charge of the Goddess
		The Charge of he Goddess can be read before, during, and/or after a ritual...especially at your Sabbat celebration.
		In a coven situation, the High Priestess will Draw Down the Moon, assume a Goddess-form, and recite it as if the Goddess is speaking though her, to the rest of the coven.
		But, I think the Charge of the Goddess can be recited by anyone wishing to become closer to the Deity...coven or solitary.

		Wiccans have ethical guidelines in the Charge of the Goddess.

	Equality and Pluralism in the Divine Embodied: An Exegesis of The Charge of the Goddess Part II, by Kila
		In the previous edition of Matrifocus, I began an exegisis of The Charge of the Goddess written by Doreen Valiente.
		This is an indication of the ecstatic nature of Goddess worship that cannot be captured in rote ritual, liturgy or a codification of dogma.
		The Goddess is the cup of life from which we drink and become aware; we are given the "knowledge of the spirit eternal." And beyond our physical presence on earth, there is a place of rest and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before.

		While most are in fl and white, there are also eight color plates that are included, two of which highlight "The Charge of the Goddess" and her triple moon headpiece.
