Credo das BruxasApresentamos abaixo duas versoes do Credo das Bruxas, poesia liturgica ESCRITA pela Sacerdotisa Doreen Valiente para expressar as crencas basicas e comportamentos idealizados pelos seguidores da Religiao. Leia cuidadosamente cada estrofe e dedique uma atencao especial a toda a simbologia utilizada por Doreen para descrever de forma sutil crencas e praticas Wiccanas.Copiado do blog (http://ocaldeiraodabruxawyccka.blogspot.com/ ) da nossa querida irma Bruxa Wyccka.Versao Original em Ingles:The Witches CreedHear now the words of the witches,The secrets we hid in the night,When dark was our destinys pathway,That now we bring forth into light.Mysterious water and fire,The earth and the wide-ranging air,By hidden quintessence we know them,And will and keep silent and dare.The birth and rebirth of all nature,The passing of winter and spring,We share with the life universal,Rejoice in the magical ring.Four times in the year the Great SabbatReturns, and the witches are seenAt Lammas and Candlemas dancing,On May Eve and old Halloween.When day-time and night-time are equal,When sun is at greatest and least,The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned,And Witches gather in feast.Thirteen silver moons in a year are,Thirteen is the COVENS array.Thirteen times at Esbat make merry,For each golden year and a day.The power that was passed down the age,Each time between woman and man,Each century unto the other,Ere time and the ages began.When drawn is the magical circle,By sword or ATHAME of power,Its compass between two worlds lies,In land of the shades for that hour.This world has no right then to know it,And world of beyond will tell naught.The oldest of Gods are invoked there,The Great Work of magic is wrought.For the two are mystical pillars,That stands at the gate of the shrine,And two are the powers of nature,The forms and the gorces divine.The dark and the light in succession,The opposites each unto each,Shown forth as a God and a Goddess:Of this our ancestors teach.By night hes the wild winds rider,The Hornd One, the Lord of the Shades.By day hes the King of the Woodland,The dweller in green forest glades.She is youthful or old as she pleases,She sails the torn clouds in her barque,The bright silver lady of midnight,The crone who weaves spells in the dark.The master and mistress of magic,Thet dwell in the deeps of the mind,Immortal and ever-renewing,With power to free or to bind.So drink the good wine to the Old Gods,And Dance and make love in their praise,Till Elphames fair land shall receive usIn peace at the end of our days.And Do What You Will be the challenge,So be it Love that harms none,For this is the only commandment.By Magic of old, be it done!(Doreen Valiente, "Witchcraft For Tomorrow" pp.172-173)Versao da Traducao para o portugues:O credo das Bruxas Ouca agora a palavra das Bruxas, os segredos que na noite escondemos,Quando a obscuridade era caminho e destino,e que agora a luz nos trazemos.Conhecendo a essencia profunda,dos misterios da AGUA e do FOGO ,E da TERRA e do AR que circunda,manteve silencio o nosso povo.No eterno renascimento da Natureza,a passagem do Inverno e da Primavera,Compartilhamos com o Universo da vida,que num Circulo Magico se alegra.Quatro vezes por ano somos vistas,no
