Oh Holy Mother and Queen
I kneel before you
during these troubled times
And ask that You bring healing
for those who are ill
that You bring hope
That soon we'll know better days
Ask that You bring peace
both for those who have left
and those left behind
I walk in the Forest
Home of my Heart
The song of birds
the scent of earth
The feel of life all around
I walk in the Forest
My Lady walks with me
And Her love is all around
I walk in the Forest
But fires burned my home
The birds are gone
only the scent of ash
and death is all around
I walk in the Forest
and though I may despair
My Lady's still beside me
And the promise of life's in the air
I walk in the Forest
Where life begins again
the Trees have sprouted
Seeds safe from even fire's wrath
The birds not yet returned
Yet the song of frogs fills their place
I walk in the Forest
I thank my Lady for this blessing
As Her laughter fills the air
I walk with my Lady
Under trees so green
I walk with my Lady
And my heart is free
She holds my soul
I'm finally whole
Note: Based off Psalm 23
With You, Great Mother, there is nothing I lack
For my soul knows the sweetness of Your love
Even when I walk in the valley of despair
I will choose courage over fear: love over hate
For You are with me
Your hand & Your voice
Comfort and inspire me
You guide me as I walk this path
For I walk with You once more
Surely Your wisdom & mercy will bless me
All of my lives on this earth
For I am united with You once more
My Lady's love is the rain
and my soul a summer day
dust dry under a too hot sun
The cleansing rain falls
allowing my soul to bloom
beautiful in Her eyes
Oh Lady my Lady
In You I find my strength
Oh Lady my Lady
In You I find my peace
Oh Lady my Lady
In You I find my truth
I am born of Your love
I see Her in the sunshine
and dancing in the rain
I hear Her voice in the tides
crashing along the shore
Her laughter in birdsong
Her majesty in the stars
And Her love within me
though She seems so far
Star Dreamer
Nebula Weaver
From Her, all are born
Once Lonely Dreamer
Life's Great Weaver
From Her Loom, we are born
Star Weaver
Nebula Creator
She who loves us all
Bright-eyed Dreamer
Ever-shining Weaver
From Her Loom, fate rules all

Listen to the words of the Great Lady,
She who's known by many names
Yet whose true Name has never been spoken on this earth
"I am the Creator and Queen of all,
from the rich earth to the blazing sun.
From the crashing sea to the shining moon
and the distant stars, whose number is known only to Me,
and all the mysteries you have yet to imagine.
I call upon My children to walk beside Me:
For I am the Divine Spark from which everything begins,
the Deepest Shadow where everything returns,
and the One who is ever beside you.
Let My Love pour freely from the hearts of My children,
for it is Love that will heal you and light your way home."
