Nowadays used to raise the Cone of Power, this old dance may be used alone
or in full coven. It is better if the Drawing Down of the Moon has gone
before, for then the Gods shall fuse with the energies raised in the
ecstacy of the dance and thereby accomplish your will.

All join hands to form a ring about the HPS. Heads turned left and eyes
tightly shut, will a flowing river of power about the circle, moving from
one through the next, from man to woman and woman to man, about the circle
without beginning or end, gathering strength as it goes.

When the circle is set thus, in motionless intensity, the HPS begins to
clap to the rhythym of the heart-beat. And upon this signal all open their
eyes and step widdershins; slowly at first but with a quickening step as
the HPS quickens the beat of her clap, until three rounds are complete.
And this must be accomplished smoothly and without awkwardness.

Now change direction and dance deosil to the Witches' Rune or some other
tune; slowly at first, but faster and ever faster until, the Power being
at its peak, the HPS shall release it crying: "Down !", whereupon all
shall fall to the ground to sit in a circle facing in. Thus also was the
Cone of Power raised of yore.
