If you focus enough on the Goddess, it is almost
as if she begins to notice you and take you under her wing. She gradually
begins to reveal herself in all her complexity, and sometimes in unexpected
ways. It is an ongoing process, spiralling deeper and deeper levels, always
continuing. Let the Goddesses come into your meditations, your dreams and
works, and you will find yourself transformed by what grows inside you.
You will have become the Goddess.
- Hallie Iglehart Austen, Heart of thee Goddess
RE- MEMBER US
you who are living,
restore us, renew us
Speak for our silence
Continue our work.
Bless the breath of life.
Sing of the hidden patterns.
Wave the web of peace

We never know how high we are
Till we are asked to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the skies
-by Emily Dickinson
I who am the beauty of the green earth and the
white moon among the stars and the mysteries of the water,
I call upon your sould to arise and come unto
me. For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.
From Me all things proceed and unti me they return.
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices,
for behold - all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion,
honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking
and yearning will avail you not,
unless you know the mystery: for if that which
you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.
For behold, I have been with you from the beginning,
and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
-Starhawk Adaptation, "The Charge of the Goddess"
I come to the altar
where burns the fire divine,
And there stands my goddess,
with arms outstretched to mine,
"O come to me my dear one,
and we'll together shine,
For you are mine forever,
and I'm forever thine. "
