Calling the Directions

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Molly

I enjoyed this invocation to the four directions in the book Goddess Spirituality for the 21st Century by Judith Laura:

We honor the East
Home of air
March wind
Morning’s song
Eagle’s flight
Aurora’s breath
Welcome East

We honor the South
Home of fire
Noon sun
Flame of change
Heat of passion
Pele’s power
Welcome South

We honor the West
Home of water
River’s flow
Font of feelings
World’s womb
Kwan Yin’s love
Welcome West

We honor the North
Home of Earth
Root of life
Shaded mystery
Ground of being
Gaia’s growth
Welcome North.

Wildflower in the field.

New Moon Blessing

New goddess rosary from herchurch.org

New Moon Blessing

Shekhinah, we come to you at this time of the moon’s renewal,
to join you in regeneration and rebirth
to plant new seeds
to honor this time of piya wiconi—new beginnings.
As we embark on new projects and contemplate new
ways of being
help us to see ourselves and each other with new eyes
of appreciation and gratitude,
to remember to thank you, daily, for all our blessings.
Help us to reach our own fullness,
Even as we go inside,
in seclusion with Her
She Who is waiting for us
To discover divinity
in ourselves
–D’vorah J. Grenn, March 1998 in Talking to Goddess
