Dance in the Garden....

 

Belly Dancer

BY DIANE WAKOSKI

Can these movements which move themselves

be the substance of my attraction?

Where does this thin green silk come from that covers my body?

Surely any woman wearing such fabrics

would move her body just to feel them touching every part of her.

Yet most of the women frown, or look away, or laugh stiffly.

They are afraid of these materials and these movements

in some way.

The psychologists would say they are afraid of themselves, somehow.

Perhaps awakening too much desire—

that their men could never satisfy?

So they keep themselves laced and buttoned and made up

in hopes that the framework will keep them stiff enough not to feel

the whole register.

In hopes that they will not have to experience that unquenchable

desire for rhythm and contact.

If a snake glided across this floor

most of them would faint or shrink away.

Yet that movement could be their own.

That smooth movement frightens them—

awakening ancestors and relatives to the tips of the arms and toes.

So my bare feet

and my thin green silks

my bells and finger cymbals

offend them—frighten their old-young bodies.

While the men simper and leer—

glad for the vicarious experience and exercise.

They do not realize how I scorn them;

or how I dance for their frightened,

unawakened, sweet

women.

The Priestess Path....

Charge of the Goddess

By Doreen Valiente

Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who of

old was also called Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine,

Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Brig:

and by many other names.

Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month,

and better it be when the Moon be full, then ye shall

 assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit

of me, who am Queen of all Witcheries.

There shall ye assemble, ye who are fain to learn all

sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets;

to these will I teach things that are yet unknown.

And ye shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that ye

are really free, ye shall be naked in your rites; and ye

shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love,

all in my praise.

For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy

on earth; for my Law is Love unto all beings.

Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it;

let naught stop you or turn you aside.

For mine is the secret door which opens upon the

Land of Youth, and mine is the cup of the Wine of Life,

and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the

Holy Grail of immortality.

I am the Gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy

unto the heart.  Upon earth, I give the knowledge of the

spirit eternal; and beyond death, I give peace and

freedom and reunion with those who

have gone before.

Nor do I demand sacrifice, for behold I am the Mother

of all Living, and my love is poured our upon the earth.

Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess, she in the dust

Of whose feet are the hosts of heaven; whose body

encircleth the Universe;  I, who am the beauty of the

green earth, and the white Moon among the stars, and

the mystery of the waters, and the heart’s desire,

call unto thy soul.  Arise and come unto me.

For I am the Soul of Nature, who giveth live to the

universe; from me all things proceed, and unto me

must all things return; and before my face beloved of

gods and mortals, thine inmost divine self shall be

unfolded in the rapture of infinite joy.

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth, for

behold; all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals, And

therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and

compassion, honour and humility, mirth

and reverence within you.

And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy

seeking and yearning shall avail thee not, unless thou

know this mystery;  that if that which thou seekest thou

findest not within thee, thou wilt never

find it without thee.

For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning;

and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.

                  Blessed be, so moot it be
