I am a goddess of infinite bliss I am beginning to remember this Thriving, awakening, opening eyes Calling my sisters, it's time to arise I am a goddess of wisdom and air Hearing these words I'm becoming aware And with this knowledge I take to the sky Spreading my wings I am learning to fly I am a goddess of courage and fire Dreaming with daring I dance with desire And as I burn with the eternal spark I make a magic to light up the dark. I am a goddess of watery deep Ocean, emotion, a song of the sea And as I open my heart to the flow I become music to heal all I know I am a goddess of green earthly love Rooted below and connected above Made from the tress and the stones and the stars Child of Gaia from Venus and Mars I am holy I am divine Full and glowing The moon in the night Soul sacred The spirit alive Born of the Mother A mystery I I am a goddess of infinite bliss I must remember to remember this

And the Great Mother said: Come my child and give me all that you are. I am not afraid of your strength and darkness. I am not afraid of your fear and pain. Give me your tears. They will be my rushing rivers and roaring oceans. Give me your rage. It will erupt into my molten volcanoes and rolling thunder. Give me your tired spirit. I will lay it to rest in my soft meadows. Give me your hopes and dreams. I will plant a field of sunflowers and arch rainbows in the sky. You are not too much for me. My arms and heart welcome your true fullness. There is room in my world for all of you, all that you are. I will cradle you in the boughs of my ancient redwoods And the valleys of my gentle rolling hills. My soft winds will sing you lullabies and soothe your burdened heart. Release your deep pain. You are not alone And you have never been alone. For I am always with you

It's Hecate! It's Hecate! Late at night in the forest Skulls are laughing all around You think you have lost your way But it's Hecate you have found Late at night on the mountain Wolves are howling all around You think you have reached the end of the road But it's the crossroads you have found Late at night in the forest Skulls are laughing all around You think you have lost your way But it's Hecate you have found Late at night on the mountain Wolves are howling all around You think you have reached the end of the road But it's the crossroads you have found Late at night at the crossroads Witches are circling without a sound You think you are lost in a dream but... You're a witch now, circle round

Weaving our way between the worlds Awakening we touch the source And when we dream and when we open We remember who we are

Weaver, Weaver, weave Her thread Whole and strong into your web Healer, Healer, heal Her pain In love may She return again We are dark and we are bright We are formed from earth and light From joy and pain our lives are spun But all too soon the spinning's done Weaver, Weaver, weave His thread Whole and strong into your web Healer, Healer, heal His pain In love may He return again No one knows why we are born A web is made, a web is torn Like wandering seabirds we alight To rest one moment, then take flight Weaver, Weaver, weave Their thread Whole and strong into your web Healer, Healer, heal Their pain In love may They return again So may we find the hidden way Beyond the gates of night and day To that sweet land where apples grow And endless healing waters flow Weaver, Weaver, weave Our thread Whole and strong into your web Healer, Healer, heal Our pain In love may We return again And at that spring, may we drink deep And wake to dream, and die to sleep And dreaming weave another form A shining thread of life reborn Weaver, Weaver, weave Our thread Whole and strong into your web Healer, Healer, heal Our pain In love may We return again
