To Make A Talisman
 
Fold within you
Golden sun;
Wrap around you
Silver moon;
Cloak yourself
In whispering winds;
Root yourself
In the dreams of earth;
Feel within you
The mother-sea;
Feed yourself
With the fires of joy
And know that you
Will blessed be.

Womb speak is an ancient language, breathing deep in the wells of our goddess souls.

Amazon Defender of Right I am.

AND WISDOM!

In the whole spectrum of time, since people first walked the earth, *Patriarchy has only existed for the blink of an eye.  Now our eyes are wide open to the rebirth of the celebration of Women and the importance of her compassion, as she stirs up spirals of healing.
 
*Patriarchy is sometimes mistaken for being a male-hating term, it actually means "ruling by paternal right" which is the existing structure in place today.
 
~~~(c) Jane Evershed, 1995 from the Power of Women series~~~
