Drawing Down The Moon is a ritual central to many Wiccan traditions -- most notably Gardnerian Wicca and Alexandrian Wicca -- where a Goddess is requested to enter the body of a coven's High Priestess and speak through her. The name most likely comes from a depiction of two women and the moon on an ancient Greek vase, believed to date from the second century B.C.E.
The term is more widely known as the title of the book by Margot Adler -- Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today -- originally published in 1979.
