The Mother within reweaves the Fabric
– the torn Fabric
torn in the weak spots.
She sets to work with all Her love and consciousness
picking up the threads
– threads that go all the way back to the beginning
She uses these, yet makes new patterns.
Mercifully Erishkagel, Crone – Her partner
has destroyed old patterns.
Erishkagel has washed away the debris
with Her storm and tempest.
Artemis, virgin, spiritual warrior,
fiercely guards and nurtures the new
She is faithful to the heart that seeks
fullness, wholeness
She will constellate in the heart’s night sky
and call forth right direction.

thank you Harriet. I was particularly pleased to be able to include the art by Cynthia Baxter. I had to google to find her, and ask permission. She sent this to me (better than the photographed version I was going to use) and she loved the poem – it was timely for her.
I’m so glad “Beginning Again” reappears in “Return to Mago” in 2015. It feels like the perfect poem for the times. (Well, for all times, but especially now.)
