Our Mother

by Dale Allen

Our Mother who art within us,

Each breath brings us to you.

Thy wisdom come,

Thy will be done,

as we honor your presence within us.

You give us this day all that we need.

Your bounty calls us to give and receive

all that is loving and pleasurable.

You are the courage that moves us to be true to ourselves

and we act with grace and power.

We relax into your cycles of birth,

growth, death and renewal.

Out of the womb, the darkness, the void, comes new life.

For you are the Mother of All Things.

Your body is the Sacred Earth and our bodies.

Your love nurtures us and unites us all.

Now and forever more.

We Celebrate This Woman!

by Dale Allen

Gather your sisters of the heart together and stand in a circle.  Let one woman stand in the center of the circle as the rest call aloud and celebrate her.  Take turns going into the center if you like.  Give it big energy and enjoy!

All:  We celebrate this woman!

See her beauty!  See it radiate from within!  She is the image and likeness of the Goddess!

As the rivers and streams, the lakes and oceans are the sacred blood of Mother Earth, so is the blood of this woman sacred.  The stream of life runs through her, the blood of life runs through her.  Her sacred blood follows the cycles of nature for she is one with Mother Earth!

All:  We celebrate this woman!

See her hands that work and create, that caress and comfort!  See her arms that gather and hold, protect and enfold.  See the strength with which she protects her own boundaries!

We celebrate this woman!

The nurturing love of the Goddess flows through her breasts.  Whether it is the milk that grows a child, or the milk that flows in love and care for the world, the healing love of the Great Mother flows through her!  She is holy!  She is whole!

We celebrate this woman!

Her womb is the womb of creation!  All creation comes through her.  All that is good is birthed through her.  Her soul’s gifts are gestated in her womb and are born with love into the world.  Carrier of life, carrier of love, carrier of all creation – she is sacred!

We celebrate this woman!

See her legs that from her hips to her feet ground her deep into Mother Earth.  See her legs and the strength with which she stands in the glory of her divine heritage.

We celebrate this woman!

Blessed is her roundness!  Blessed is her fullness!  Blessed is her softness!  The sacred fire of the Goddess glows in her belly.  Every curve of her body is grace!

We celebrate this woman!

We honor her courage.  We honor her strength.  See how to herself she is true!  See how she acts from her inner knowing!  She how she refuses what is not right for her.  See how she opens all of her energy to that which honors and sustains her!

We celebrate this woman!

We honor her wisdom.  We celebrate her journey and the life experience that makes a spiritual elder, a wise woman, a crone, a Keeper of the Flame.

For she is a Holy One.  She is a daughter of the Goddess.  She and all of her sisters are a divine lineage. 

Oh Blessed One, we celebrate you!
