The Charge of the Goddess is modern Wicca's great liturgical text: the Goddess speaking in her own first-person voice, calling her children to gather at the full moon, promising that all acts of love and pleasure are her rituals. Its enduring form came from Doreen Valiente in the 1950s, who reworked earlier material, including Leland's Aradia, into the poetry the craft has spoken at esbats ever since. The version on this poster, revised by Amber K and Azrael Arynn in 2010, belongs to that same living lineage, because the Charge has always been a working document, kept alive precisely by the hands that keep revising it with love.

Hung at the altar, the text does what it was written to do. It reminds the reader, every time the eye crosses it, that in this tradition the divine speaks in the present tense, and that the words are meant for saying aloud under a full moon, not just for framing. Though framing helps them stay found.

1. Hang it at eye level near your altar or practice space, where liturgy belongs.
2. Read it aloud at the full moon; the Charge was composed for the voice, and it rewards being heard.
3. You might choose to use it as your memorization copy; many traditions learn the Charge by heart, and a wall text teaches in passing glances.
4. Let students and guests read it; the Charge has served as the craft's best introduction for seventy years.
5. Frame it behind glass if it hangs in sunlight, so the words outlast the fade.
