So mote it be

that's so beautiful! i've always wondered what does the “so mote it be” mean? hugs
thanks Nicole! So mote it be” means “so it is “- similar to Amen - a statement of re-affirming the intent of the prayer, blessing or spell, and announcing that the content of it, is the will of witch. Hope that helped.
Hugs!
thanks, it led me to a little more exploring too, where i found it was based on an older version of so must it be and was used in freemasonry first. learn something every day! hugs!
I was suprised to find out how many symbols and rituals are used in both Wicca and Freemasonry. Until I read more by a Wiccan writer called Silver Ravenwolf, who's father was a freemason, I had no insight in that - not counting what you see on television sold as history, it is usually sensationalism more then collection of facts. Same goes for Wicca, or Pagan beliefs. While I do not focus so much on the ritualistic side of Wicca - and therefore the connection to freemasonary, I can see it's meaning much clearer now, then before I began to study Witchcraft. Mixture of traditions abound in my faith, but all paths are true paths in any case - Christianity, Islam, Hinduism - it is all an expression of the All-There-Is.
Hugs
I love that, dearest, all an expression of All-There-Is - Hugs!
Love the prayer and also your affirmayion of all paths, a lovely way to look at it.
Blessings to both of you kind souls!
Lovely prayer…
