Matter suffused with its own inner light,
Raising the Feminine to conscious insight,
Strong, radiant container: Sophia!
Dark, intuitive receiver: Sophia!
Responding with vibrancy to the earth’s plight,
Providing a balance to masculine flight.
Longing for Darkness, Ravens of Einsiedeln,
Black Madonna, Dark Moon Goddess, Queen of the Night.
Redeeming Darkness, Gifts of the Unconscious,
Integration, Fertility, Wisdom, Insight.
