The Way

Invoke the Spiral One,

the Mother giving birth to all.

Invoke the Spiral, realizing Herself.

She creates male and female,

from the dark of Her womb

spring forth dark and light, life and death.

Return to the Mother;

sleep at the Mother’s heart.

Find behind your eyelids Her warm night.

Be born anew in Her every morning.

Find within your deepest core

Her healing power.

Be born into the Spiral of the Mother.

Travel down deep pathways

always toward rebirth,

life and death one pathway

always toward the Source.

Enter the changing rhythms of the moon;

let Her arms enfold you.

Let sweet breasts of Earth nourish you,

mountain, cave and tree,

wind and water cleansing and supporting.

Fly on Her strong wings. 

Let Her fire warm you from within,

consume you from within,

illuminate infinity, eternity within.

Sing with the courage

of the Mother tongue, the primal word.

Hold the Mother a star within your heart.

Dance Her star dance, your perfect life.
