I have been with you from the beginning. Don't you remember my voice above your Mother's birth cries? I the priestess of the Earth,midwifed you and all your kin. Silently,I watched you growing,and I was at all your rites of passage. I was the priestess holding aloft the torches of life in each hand,one pointing up to Heaven and one the the Great Below,for it is said "As above,so below." Even the Earth herself calls on my services. I am the queen of the crossroads,witch queen the transformer. I have come again this season to scream my frightening banshee yell and scatter pumpkins in your backyards and your living rooms like so many orange balloons. The ancient primal season of the witch is here,and you welcome me. Yes,you love to be frightened by me. I force you to laugh at your own death,to dress up your children in ghostly guise. Now comes your first sense of the coming cold season,chilling to the bone. I bring the harvest,and if you have not harvested your apples and pumpkins,I'll nip them with frost. After All Hallows,all that's left in the fields is mine !! If you wish to honor me,I will show you my magical ways. I will take away fears of death and make you glad. I am the keeper of the altars,outdoors and inside. I am speaking in you when you feel the desire to stand alone on a hillside or in a clearing in the woods and talk to the moon. I am the wild part of you,your sixth sense,the one that gives you your hunches and premonitions,dreams. I am the priestess immortal. My face is three-fold--young,old and in full bloom. I see ahead and behind;I am the hinge of reality. I am your primal goddess. Into your lives I bring these feelings,even now,in the artifical forests of your urban concrete world. My witches are flying on the air,and the ghosts are quaking in your windows. All is well, Halloween is near;souls will come to visit ,and the living world will throw a party to mingle with the dead. I share in your merriment and warm my cold hands at your hearth. ------------------ Helewes [This message has been edited by JennyLee (edited 10-14-1999).] |

Very nice tribute to a Goddess of Magic and I as well, revel in the Feast of Samhain. ------------------ Nothing is worse than sorrow, except perhaps disdain. I'll be myself tomorrow, tonight I'll feel the pain. DreamEvil© |

Tingles arose as I read this, Jenny. Awesome work..."and the living world will throw a party to mingle with the dead." ...chilling. ------------------ Michael Anderson When God puts a tear in your eye, He puts a rainbow in your heart. |
