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.
We are Alive, As the Earth is alive. We have the power To fight for our freedom. [alt: to create our freedom]
If we have courage we can be healers, [alt: we shall be healers] Like the Sun we shall rise. If we have courage we can be healers, Like the Sun we shall rise.
Great Spirit Grandfather, Grandmothers all,
Great Spirit Grandfather, Grandmothers all,
Listen to our plea, listen to our call,
Listen to our plea, listen to our call,
Teach us to love, teach us to praise,
Teach us humility in good and gentle ways.
Teach us to love, teach us to praise,
Teach us humility in good and gentle ways.
