Mother Wild




Mistress to all, mother of beasts 
We worship your body
Goddess of nourishment
We tell your tale
To settle our passions 
And bring us to harvest 

When the world was young 
When the old Gods still ruled 
Old Mistress of Sea and Master of Earth 
They sowed a great seed

Promise of hope, babe of the blossoms
Your mother's belly swelled with your life
First child 
Your birth was the Spring

Beautiful girl 
Your parents they loved you
With tenderest care they attended your needs
But willful fawn you soon grew too curious

Whimsical maiden
Amorous creature
You fled to the hills
Alone in the night
You played in bare fields

With fingers of magic and childlike wonder
You tilled the fresh soil
With eager delight you gave care to the land
Where ever you touched soon grew the flowers


With newest of treasures you set forth in the world
Little explorer you roved and you dawdled
You sought out dark caves and climbed tallest mountains

Powerful girl you grew as you wandered
Wild young woman you sought out dark places
Queen of all witches you found the Dark Daughter

Growing young sorceresses you twined like the snakes
Lovers so strange together you worked 
Slither and crawl, titter and creep
Your children of damp and children of dark gave life to the soil

Sacred pair your bodies
Your hands
Swirling and mixing
Rebellious and free
Mischievous imps you plunged into deeps
Mothers of art you discovered the gems


Selfish young woman, careless fiend, spirit of wild
You hoarded their wealth 
Capricious nymph you left her in tears
With callous abandon you fled to the surface

Powers arcane you took from their essence  
With mind and with body you gave birth to the colors
Child of pleasure with wonders anew you set forth once more

Wherever you went so to came resplendence
You came and you went with patterns unknown
Painting the world with fickle delight

Wily young artist
The envy of all
With each of your works you attracted a host

Seductress Supreme you courted their passions 
Mistress of gods you toyed with their hearts
You excited their loins and stirred in their bosoms
But never to one could your body be given

Matron of healing
Sister of sight 
You saw them completely as naked as birth
With sensual crafts you summoned their glory
With care and devotion you honored their forms

Over and over they gave praise to your body
Over and over you freed them from pain
Again and again you tasted their spirits
Again and again they planted their love


Body to body
Passion to passion
Mind and soul
They filled you with warmth

Crafted together in carnal pursuits
Your love with the Sky brought trees to the land
Your love with the Light brought beasts to the woods
From each union
Each pleasure
And every delight
Sprang forth a new blessing, a new life


Wild Temptress, budding mother
The slope of your curves
The swell of your stomach brought fruit again and again
Empress of sex you gave birth to the wild 

But alas came the Fall when she slew her Bright Father
You cried with your kin and crying together your sobs became rain
Cold and impenetrable the winter came fast 
Your art and your children withered and died

You went to her fortress 
You pleaded your case
Amused and indifferent she mocked and dismissed

Stranger to hell you would not go,
Mother of all you fought for your children
You begged and you threatened but to no avail
You labored and labored 
Until a deal was struck
You offered your body to death itself

                                         

Bare as the bark he stripped you of splendor
Bound and blinded you were brought to his throne
Deep in the under in places unknown
Unspeakable rites he performed on your flesh
But bled and broken you still could not die
And in the deal your hope still lie

Enchantments of love older than time
A blanket of white to cover your children
The promise of life you gave to the world

Your bargain fulfilled you blossomed once more
Raised and transformed, ice to water
Greater than ever you dawned finest garments
Reborn daughter you seeded the world
Witch of the rites you conjured grand gardens

Drunk with new purpose you tended the lands
Sorceress of lust you possessed the world
You moved all to love and create anew
Goddess of meaning you incited an orgy
Pleasure to all and new harvest to raise
Abundance of thought and chances unknown

Queen of life, Lady indulgence, Shaman of travel, Muse of the arts
You'll come again
Mistress of gods
We offer our bodies, take from our beauty
Show us great majesty and Impregnate our souls
Mother Wild teach us your ways
So we might live and give love to the world again and again
