A really good and close friend of mine once gave this to me, it's a kind of affirmation I suppose. Personally I find it very beautiful and it really makes me feel better if I read it when I'm feeling down. He has given me permission to use it here. Perhaps others may get some use from it, but I ask that it not be used on other websites, only for personal use.
"I am a child of the God and Goddess,
Therefore I am part of them as much as they of me.
As such within myself I contain all that is of them and of Nature.
Me in a physical sense is just a form of recognition.
It is the spirit inside that which is me.
I am made of love and beauty, the elements, wisdom and innocence
And of the Divine Power from which I was born and of which I shall return.
I am a mind and a heart and a spirit.
That is nothing which in turn is all.
I love myself for what I am,
For from where I have come,
For where I am going,
And all that is part of me and all I hold within.
There is only one collective that is me,
And for that I am uniquely special.
I am worthy and valuable,
And all I hold becomes my power,
For all that I hold is of the Lord and the Lady,
Who are of all things,
All power.
I am but a small piece,
But even so,
My power, beauty, love and wisdom do not deminish.
I am strong.
I am they, they are me.

As most will know, when it comes to anything pagan, often the history may be blurred. So I'm not sure where this comes from exactly, but I think it's something which should be seen
The Witches' Rune
Darksome night and shining moon,
East, then south, west then north,
Hearken to the witches' rune.
Here come I to call the forth.
Earth and water, air and fire,
Wand and Pentacle and Sword
Work ye unto my desire.
Hearken ye unto my word.
Cords and Censer, Scourge and Knife,
Powers of the Witches Blade,
Waken all ye into life.
Come ye as the charm is made.
Queen of Heavens, Queen of Hel,
Horned Hunter of the Night,
Lend your aid unto the spell.
Work my will by magic rite.
By all the power of land and sea,
By all the might of moon and sun,
As I do will, so mote it be.
Chant the spell and be it done.
To End a Time of Adversity
To be said at the time of the Waning Moon
O Crone; Dark One;
Wise Moon; Blessed One;
Time is long
Since You were born
Time goes on
Old You've grown
Now You take on
Different form
Slow and long
Your final song
Is heard among
Old and young
All alone
Looking on
Your light gone
My light gone
Changing One
Change my song
Dark has come
Time has come
To wish it gone
With a changing song
Fears gone
Hatred gone
Greed gone
Envy gone
The Broken gone
The Useless gone
The Hopeless gone
The Fruitless gone
Remorse gone
Hindrance gone
Troubles gone
Barriers gone
New time comes
Brightness comes
Encouragement
And Hope comes
Fortune comes
The Fruitful comes
Sincerity
And Truth comes
Help comes
Favour comes
Victory
And Love comes
Dark Moon; Old One;
Blessed Crone; Wise One.
Invocation to the Horned God
"By the flame that burneth bright,
O Horned One !
We call thy name into the night,
O Ancient One !
Thee we invoke by the Moon-led sea,
By the standing stone and the twisted tree.
Thee we invoke, where gather Thine own.
By the nameless shore, forgotten and lone.
Come where the round of the dance is trod,
Horn and Hoof of the Goat Foot God !
By moonlit meadow, on dusky hill,
Where the haunted wood is hushed and still,
Come to the charm of the chanted prayer,
As the Moon bewitches the midnight air.
Evoke thy powers that potent bide
In shining stream and the secret tide,
In fiery flame by starlight pale,
In shadowy host that rides the gale.
And by the ferndrakes, faerie haunted,
Of forests wild and woods enchanted.
Come, O Come !
To the heartbeat's drum !
Come to us who gather below,
When the broad white Moon is climbing slow.
Through the stars to the heavens' height,
We hear thy hoofs on the wind of night !
As black tree branches shake and sigh,
By joy and terror we know thee nigh.
We speak the spell thy power unlocks,
At Solstice Sabbath and Equinox !"
