The Mother’s Cloak:
A circle of protection and Love.
Mother, If you deem it best,
Remove any and all blocks to:
Love, joy, protection, power and providing service to others,
Please be with me, help, guide and watch over me My Goddess.
The Mother wraps Her cloak around us. Thus we are Protected.
The Mother takes the girdle from Her waist, and wraps it around us.
Thus we are held within Her passion for Her consort.
Thus we are held within Her passion for us.
Thus we are held within Her passion for Herself.
Around us the Mother lets down Her hair,
Blonde like Beach Sand,
Dark like the Earth and the emptiness of the far reaches of Space,
Red like the Fire, which burns within Her hearth.
She lets Her hair down around us, that we may nestle within it like children,
Playing hidden within the bowers of a Weeping Willow Tree.
Her arms encircle us in Her love.
She pulls Joyfire from Her body,
Joyfire whose name is God, Our Father,
And she wraps this Circle of Joy around us.
Around us are the Elements of Life, which in truth are The Goddess,
By these Elements we are protected and calmed, given Peace and Joy.
Within this Circle we share space with the Animal people,
With the Land, and the Land of Spirits.
Within the weaving of all the Cosmos.
Opening and Releasing the Circle:
We have been protected by The Mother’s Cloak.
Though She now withdraws it, We are always in Her protection.
We have been wrapped within The Mother’s Passion.
Though She leaves us now,
Her Passion is always there for us if we move toward it.
We have been hidden in the Goddess’s Tresses,
So that we might play unnoticed.
Now we return to the Mundane World,
To its responsibilities as well as its pleasures.
Though we leave this Circle of Love,
We are always held by Her love and care.
Though we leave this Circle of Joy,
Our Good Father’s joy is always within us.
Thought the Elements of Life spin back into their everyday order,
These same Elements are always there, to be Her hands holding us.
We have shared space with the Animal people,
With the Land and the land of Spirits,
Within the weaving of all the Cosmos.
Sweet powerful Mother and good mighty Father,
I thank you for your help and say Good-Bye.
In Perfect Love and In Perfect Trust.
So Mote it Be and it Shall be Done. |
