The Goddess

        The Goddess

        The Goddess is the Mother of all universes. She is the Goddess of Fertility, the Goddess of Life; but She can be cold, for She rules the passage of lives and it is She who cuts the threads in the Web of Life. She is the Triple Goddess of the Moon--Maiden, Mother, and Crone. She is the innocent Maiden, filled with the joy of life; She is the Mother, protectress and creatrix; and She is the Crone, the Wise One, the Lady of Justice and the Lady of Death.

        The Maiden is the Lady of the Hunt, Diana, Artemis, Athena. She is the waxing moon; the crescent moon is Her silver bow, arching against the sky. She is the Goddess of the wild, the picture of youth. Sheer innocence. Wild, free, untamed, Mistress of the Beasts. She is the Maiden, the symbol of true and ultimate freedom.

        She is the Mother of All Creation, the source from which all life comes; She is Tawert, the Lady of motherhood and childbirth, protectress of all mothers and children. She is the First Mother, the One who protects the hearth and the home. She is the primal Eve, the primal Lilith, two sides of the same woman. The Mother of the Universe, of everything that has ever been and will ever be. She is Hera, Isis, Sophia. She is Mother Earth, wife of Father Sky. She weaves the Web of Life. The Mother Goddess is the warrior who protects the lives of Her children, Brigid at Her forge. Holy Mary, Mother of God.

        The Crone is the Goddess of Justice, Lady of War, bringing justice to those who have disobeyed Her Law. She is the the Wise One, the Lady of the Crossroads, who sees down the paths of Past, Present, and Future. She is wisdom; She rules the cauldron of transformation and rebirth. All things must bare themselves to Her, to die and be reborn whole. It is in Her land that we are remade and reborn, Her land where we face our darkest fears and come forth victorious, renewed and truly alive. Look into Her mirror and see your own reflection. She is the Morrigan, the Dark Goddess, who is both Death and Life. Face Her--and be transformed.

        She is the Goddess, the Lady, Maiden and Mother and Crone. Huntress, Protectress, Warrioress. She is the One and She is the All.
