As we move into this next cycle of time, in which the forces of patriarchal violence attempt to keep us in chokeholds, we raise our voices up in song. Collectively, we will not be silenced and we will not be broken.
The re-release of Spiral Muse’s first album, She Is Here, this past November offers a bundle of prayers for the times ahead. Prayers calling out to Goddess, searching for Her, beseeching Her to hear our cries for justice and an end to violence. Prayers that sing her praises, that exclaim Her rising, Her omnipresence and Her love. Prayers that simply rest in her presence and allow us to be enveloped by She Who Is.
Six thousands years She has been discarded
This is the century of Her rebirth
If we only knew Her power
She is arising inside of you
“She Will Arise” Alison Newvine
Mother teach me to be like you
When I can’t even breathe for fear, oh help me to remember
I am here
Because you loved me I have life
You formed me from the Earth and the sea and the sky
A perfect child in your eyes
Oh Mother teach me to love as you do.
With everything, with everything I am
And your love, your love is all I’ll ever need, if you’ll take my hand
I’ll live as you created me to be
“Amma” Kathleen Joan Neville-Shinn
Grandmother wise, you are watching
Your hands and your eyes are upon us
Like the child in your arms we are listening
Patient and loving you guide us
Let flow from our depths what’s been waiting
This ancient power within us
Sustaining, destroying, creating
We radiate love and justice
“Paint Us Into Being” Alison Newvine
