What you are about to experience is an incredible piece of work. It was originally posted on a forum, then distributed in a newsletter. The author encouraged people to distribute it as they saw fit as long as his name was included. It moved me so deeply that I wanted to share it with you all.

Of the anger of mother earth,
Of the sadness of mother
earth
Of the praise of mother
earth I want to sing
To gather the powers of mother
earth I came to sing,
To gather the strength of
mother earth I came to sing,
To gather the people of
mother earth I came to sing,
Mother of old with thy many
incarnations listen to my song
and hear me speak of thy
praise, thy power and thy beauty
I invoke the powers of the
east and pray for their aid
I invoke the powers of the
south and pray for their aid
I invoke the powers of the
west and pray for their aid
I invoke the powers of the
north and pray for their aid
Beautiful incarnation of
Venus, Inanna, behold my words and give them
the sweetness of love
Sender of light and love,
Tara, be raised and pour thy sweetness on this
speech
Giver of fertility, Artemis,
lend me thy attention and let my words be
of the power of growth
Lioness of the battle, Ishtar,
realize my words and feed them with
strength
Mighty daughter of Ra, Sekhmet,
be aware of my song and lend me thy
words of power,
High flying raven, Morrigu,
join me in my anger and give my words the
sharpness of a sword
Keeper of the gates to powerful
magic, Hekate, look upon me and aid me
with thy wisdom
Guardian of the mysteries,
Selket, be called by my speech and protect
these words
Symbol of life, nameless
Mother of the stoneage, be moved by my words
and strengthen this song
Followers of the mother goddesses
of all cults and rites
Followers of the nature
religions of this planet
Followers of the path of
light
Be aware, listen to me and hear me sing:
The mother is all we are,
She, who is all, is within
us,
She, who is all, is with
us every day.
From her are we and to her
we go.
There can be nothing without
her
We, her children are nothing
without her.
She is, who speaks:
Bigger than the mountains
am I,
The Empress of the gods
am I
The Queen of heaven am I
The earth’s mistress am
I.
Careless do we handle her
gifts,
Selfish do we abuse our
brothers and sisters,
We walk on her bleeding
corpse, ignoring her pain
We destroy her creation
Her health is wounded
Her body is shattered
Her self is devastated
No more can we keep silent
to this sacrilege
No more can we ignore her
pain and bleeding
No more are we allowed to
look away from her sufferings
For attention I raise my
voice
For a change of ways I raise
my voice
For a final battle I raise
my voice
With the wrath of the goddess,
I cry a geis on the human race.
With the boundless anger
of Sekhmet, punishing judge of mankind,
I sing the glam dicin on
our worthless ways of life.
With giving the suffering
earth a voice,
I incantate the diaspad
as witness of our crimes.
No more can we pretend to
be the crown of creation
No more can we look upon
our brothers and sisters, the plants and
animals, as minor beings.
No more are we able to ignore
the circle of life and its ancient law.
We are no supernatural beings,
we are part of mother earth.
Part of the circle of life,
we get born, we live and we die.
We raise from mothers triangle,
we walk on her body and we return to
her as corpse.
We are not superior above
life
We are not superior above
creation
We have an obligation to
fulfill, to preserve mother earth for future
generations of beings, of
humans, of animals and plants
If we don't change the path
we walk
If we don't change the perspective
we look from
If we don't behold what
is going on around us
We will be orphan children on a devastated planet without life
The time for us has come
to finally see the light and realize what we
are, from where we are and
on what we depend like any other being.
So, if you listened to this,
Change your way of life,
Change your perspective,
Change your friends ways
of life,
Behold the beauty of the
mother
that surrounds us everywhere
and in everything
Behold the breathtaking
life that is within this planet.
There is nothing bad or unwanted,
ugly or worth destruction
There is only life and energy
of mother earth in all and everything
All that is needs our preservation
All that is needs our respect
All that is needs our love
Tell your brothers and sisters
about thy awareness
Tell thy brothers and sisters
about the pain and the wounds of the
mother
Tell thy brothers and sisters
to pay attention to what she, who is
everything, demands.
Don't pretend to be wise
and knowing for we are all learning several
lifetimes, just state you
are aware
Don't feel superior to others,
that are not aware, it is your
obligation to teach
Don't forsake others, that
are not aware, try to change their ways.
Followers of the mother goddesses
of all cults and rites
Followers of the nature
religions of this planet
Followers of the path of
light
Be aware, think of my words and join me in song
Sing the glam dicin with
me.
Raise your voices to a bitter,
final cry of judgement,
sing the diaspad.
Let our song become a strong
and mighty geis
for the dignity of life
and its unwritten laws
Sing out loud, so that it
can't be ignored:
To walk the ancient path
again
To behold thy beauty once
more every day
Is a pleasure beyond mere
believe
It is an everlasting enlightenment
It is a spring of never
ending marvel and happiness
I thank thee for this life
Thou truly were with me
from the beginning.
