Long ago the world slept in the arms of the dark void. From this nothingness, Spirit drew together & created Our Lady & Our Lady danced. Among the heavens, Her feet beat the rhythm of all creation, Her hair tossled sparks of light giving birth to stars & planets. As She twirled the heavenly bodies moved with Her, when She quickened She formed the seas & mountains. She chanted love & joy & as the words fell to earth flowers & trees were born. From Her pure white breath came the colors of the universe. From Her bubbling laughter sprung the sounds of brooks & lapping vibrations of lakes & the screaming roar of the oceans. Her tears of joy became the rains of survival. When She slowed She sought a companion, & so created Her Lord. She so loved the earth that She made the Lord half animal, so they may populate the earth. His power moving through Her; they shower the earth & all that is on it with Their blessings. Together They birthed the birds, animals,fish,& people of our world. To protect & guide us They created the Power Spirits. These energies walk with us always. To each bird the Lady gave a magic song & to each animal the Lord bestowed the instinct to survive.The Lord is the master of all animal and vegetable kingdoms; He wears the staghorns, His aspects of half man & animal represent His joy in life As humans prospered the Lord& Lady saw need of healers, So creating from all kingdoms the witches. Witches brought wisdoms & magics others did not understand. The Lady teaching them to cast magic & talk to spirit, the Lord communication with elements, animals & herbcraft The Wise-ones became the Hidden Children conducting their rites in secret for fear of pain & death. As more fear and hatred creeped across the earth the Goddess took the body of the moon to represent her gentle perfect light of love, the Lord taking the vibrant rays of the sun to symbolize His strength in perfect love.Once a month when the Moon is full witches gather to celebrate, remembering the blessings of the Mother and Father of all. When thunder cracks in cloud filled skies and lightning falls to earth that is when They dance. When it is Our time to pass through the veils our spirits return to Them. We continue to learn from Them & each lifetime holds a lesson, life after life, we return We are the witches, representatives of wisdoms growth. We are the hidden children back from the dead. We are the people, the Power the Change. We are the Spirits of the earth |
