Closing Prayer:
Hail Aradia, from the Almathean Horn,
Pour forth thy store of love; We lowly bend
Before thee, We adore thee to the end,
With loving offering thy shrine adorned.
Thy foot is to our lips, our prayer upborn
Upon the rising incense-smoke; then spend
Thy ancient love, O Mighty One, descend
To bring us good fortune, lest we are forlorn.
So mote it be.

Myth's Notes
Northern Star Coven is an Alexandrian coven located in North Carolina, USA. I noticed they had a very nice website when I found it in 2006. I remember their website also had a very interesting "Wiccan rosary" which was used for meditation. With their permission I posted the Litany of Aradia on my website on January 12, 2007.
Their website no longer resides at the above address. I am leaving it up, because I promised I would when I posted the Litany of Aradia.
A litany is a ritual format which involves call and response. In other words, the ritual leader recites a series of words or phrases with alternative responses by ritual participants--usually in supplication or invocation.
This lovely Litany of Aradia was composed by members of the Northern Star Coven using the list of epithets or titles of Aradia I had created 3/3/05.
