Upon this night
of Hallantide,
The veil betwixt
to rend and part,
We conjure forth
the Midnight ride,
By Devil’s Horn
and Witching Arte.
Spirits of old
arise ye forth,
Let quick and
dead conjoin this night,
By the way ‘twixt
West and North,
Let begin the
Elder Rite!
Spirits, beasts
and ghostly rade,
Open now the Way
of the Dead,
Wilde horde of
Witch and shade,
Open the way that
Huntsman’s-led.
Cavalcade of
Fellows all,
Ride ye forth
with Devil’s speed,
Ride ye forth at
Midnight’s call,
By Night-Mare’s
hoof and spirit-steed.
By flight of moth
by bat and owl,
By spirit path
and old Corpse Way,
By Hunter’s horn
and black hound’s howl,
By haunted track
and ancient Ley.
Go ye forth in
the Old One’s Name,
Throughout and
about, without and within,
By the light of
the Devil’s flame,
Let the Wild Hunt
begin!
Incantation taken
from ‘The Devil’s Dozen: Thirteen Craft Rites of the Old One’ by Gemma Gary.
