Children of the Goddess

Children of the Goddess

You step from the shadows
I have seen you there before
You wait for a sign
I know why you have come here
this night
You have been called
I called you this night

 

I sent my power to the wind to
summon you this Full Moon
You stand before me and wait
I take my hand and run it over
your body
I feel you quiver at my touch
I remove my linen shift, it drops to
the ground
I stand naked before you
The Goddess has called her Witches
She has called us to join in the
great ritual
We will dedicate ourselves to her
this night, as we have done in the past
You have waited for me, as we have
joined in the past

 

We are known to each other
Our lives have been intertwined
in the past, now in the present
You take me this night
Your power reaches deep into me,
it fills me with desire

 

We have joined as Witches do,
no shame just pleasure
The night is filled with the desire
of Witches
As children of the Goddess we
know who we are
And the power we have this night
We rule ourselves and this night
We go into the night as children of
the Goddess
For we are Witches and the earth
belongs to us…..
