The Great Goddess

"She is the vision from which life uprises; she is a whisper of light, like white wings in darkness; she is the tranquility of a whale and also the ocean of deep space, primordial night.

She is the Earth's dreaming self, with images like many-coloured bright crystals. And she is the patient industry of worms, that keep the Earth healthy. And the life and joyfulness of every wild creature.

And she is the elements, the voice of rivers and wildfire on the mountain and wind that blows across Arctic wastes. And she is in silence.

She is all time, when it lasts so long that one drop of water from a cave roof would measure a whole aeon. She is memory in a seed. She is the poem that keeps on being chanted in quietness. She is music from which each song arises. She is the continuum.

Life proceeds from all her dreaming, whether that is in the dream-space of the womb, where a child is formed, or in the deep inner space of the soul, where each one of us may hold pure aspirations and visions."

This vivid description of The Great Goddess, which really resonated with me, is taken from The Hedge Witch's Way by Rae Beth. I wanted to share it with you.
