CREATION
|
|
|
|
(AN ORAL TEACHING OF THE FAERY TRADITION OF WITCHCRAFT)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alone, awesome, complete within Herself, the Goddess, She
|
|
whose name cannot be spoken, floated in the abyss of the outer
|
|
darkness, before the beginning of all things. And as She looked
|
|
into the curved mirror of black space, She saw by her own light
|
|
her radiant reflection, and fell in love with it. She drew it
|
|
forth by the power that was in Her and made love to Herself, and
|
|
called Her "Miria, the Wonderful".
|
|
|
|
Their ecstasy burst forth in the single song of all that is,
|
|
was, or ever shall be, and with the song came motion, waves that
|
|
poured outward and became all the spheres and circles of the
|
|
worlds. The Goddess became filled with love, swollen with love,
|
|
and She gave birth to a rain of bright spirits that filled the
|
|
worlds and became all beings.
|
|
|
|
But in that great movement, Miria was swept away, and as She
|
|
moved out from the Goddess She became more masculine. First She
|
|
became the Blue God, the gentle , laughing God of love. Then She
|
|
became the Green One, vine-covered, rooted in the earth, the
|
|
spirit of all growing things. At last She became the Horned God,
|
|
the Hunter whose face is the ruddy sun and yet dark as Death. But
|
|
always desire draws Him back toward the Goddess, so that He
|
|
circles Her eternally, seeking to return in love.
|
|
|
|
All began in love; all seeks to return to love. Love is the
|
|
law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.
