And when lonliness besets thee, Thou needs only gaze upon the moon, To see my face and my love reflected there to you. Father approaches daugher and turns her to face him. I am he who is father to thee now. I shall stand behind and beside thee always. And when lonliness besets thee, Thou needs only to step out into sunlight To feel my warmth and love within thee.
Mother takes daughter by hand and returns to the altar.
Hold it and cherish it as you remember me. Hold it and cherish it as you remember me. May their strenth and independence, their love and virtue, be thine all the days of thy life. I recognize the child in you no more, but for only the child who lives in all of us. Mother stands with a space between her and her daughter and presents the new adult to the coven.
