While I watch free child birth videos online, I think of each woman
as the Goddess. The magnificent act of creation transforms us and
in this special moment we become one with all the female power in
all living being, in all species, in all women in the present, the
past and the future.
Time recedes and gives way to eternity in which we
are reborn as human beings and souls, blessed by a power greater than
us, yet within us.
Fairy Tradition Creation Story
-by Starhawk
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. And 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.
A Dianic Creation Myth
-by Morgan
In the infinite moment before all time
the Goddess arose from chaos
and gave birth to Herself.
This was before anything else had been born... not
even
Herself. And when She separated the skies from the waters
She danced upon them.
As She danced, so did Her ecstasy increase.
In Her ecstasy She created everything that is.
Her movements made the wind and the element Air was
born and
did breathe.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Arianrhod, Cardea, Astarte
And sparks were struck from Her dancing feet so that
She shone
forth as the Sun,
and the stars were caught in Her hair. Comets raced about Her,
and the element Fire was born.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Sunna, Vesta, Pele'
About her feet swirled the waters in tidal wave and
river,
and flowing stream.
The element Water did move.
And She named Herself:
Binah, Mari Morgaine, Lakshmi
And She sought to rest her feet from their dance, and
She
brought forth the Earth
so that the shores were Her footstool, the fertile lands Her
womb,
the mountains Her full breasts, and Her streaming hair the
growing things.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Cerridwen, Demeter, the Corn Mother
She saw that which was and is and will be,
born of Her sacred dance and cosmic delight,
and infinite joy.
She laughed, and the Goddess created Woman in Her own
image,
to be the Priestess of the Great Mother.
From Her Elements; Earth, Air, Fire and Water,
the Goddess created for Herself a Consort-
for love, pleasure, companionship and sharing.
The Goddess then spoke to Her daughters, saying:
"I am the Moon to light your path and to speak to your rhythms.
I am the Dancer and the Dance.
I whirl without motion.
I am the Sun who gives you warmth in which to stretch
and grow.
I am All that will Be.
I am the Wind to blow at your call and the sparkling
Waters
that offer joy.
I am the Fire of the Dance of Life,
and I am the Earth beneath your dancing feet.
I give to all my priestesses three aspects that are
Mine:
I am Artemis, the Maiden of the Animals, the Virgin
of the Hunt.
I am Isis, the Great Mother.
I am Ngame, the Ancient One who winds the shroud.
I shall be called a million names.
Call unto me, daughters, and know that I am Nemesis."
We are Virgins, Mothers, Old Ones- All.
We offer our created energy:
to the Spirit of Women Past,
to the Spirit of Women yet to Come,
to Woman Spirit Present and Growing.
Behold, we move forward together.
