A COLLECTION OF INVOCATIONS & INCANTATIONS ------------------------------------------ PLANET MUSIC ------------ by Noel-Anne Brennan In dreams I see the trees And hear them, All leafy green-ness Against the shaded blue of skies, Whispering Earth-songs To the changing light With subtleties of color, The flickered, leafy undersides Of planet music, The vibrant, fluid, windy songs. But also there are harmonies of rock: The song of quartz, the fire frozen, The blood of Earth congealed, The Cold flames clinging, Remebersing heat, The arrogant crystaline Heart of the Land, Stony chords That sing in the bones of life, The structure and framework For melodies of air and seas and trees. HYMN TO THE EARTH ----------------- by Mercurius Blue marble in the solar sea, Father Earth abides in me, I am no more than His sweet child And I must sojurn here awhile. Blue marble with a lunar crown, Mother Earth turns to the dawn, I sail across her starlit brine And dream the dreams She plants in time. Lord and Lady of the Quest, Nuture hope in every breast, Comfort those who suffer grief And visit us in joy and peace. Blue marble in our pantheon, Planet of the human heart, All my life is nigt and day, Born to dance in Natures' sway. Do what is best, no harm begat That injures Goddess or the God, Choose freely from the many paths And honor Earth with works of praise. BLue marble in the solar sea, Father Earth abides in me, Blue marble with a lunar crown, Mother Earth turns to the dawn! TRIPLE GODDESS -------------- by Gray Wolf Goddess of our hopes and need, You whom our desiures feed, Hear our cry before the Moon, Let our passions nightly swoon, Earth is ours and Earth is Thine, Let our pleasures be like wine, Celebration of Your place All bow down before Your face, Hail to the Triple Goddess. CREATIONS --------- by Vashti Ayla Miria I am daughter of Goddess I am mother of Earth I am sister of starlight I am the New Moon of birth I am the patterns of space in the sky I am the new furrowed ground in which hallowed ones lie I stay still for an instant & Then like all I must "die" 'till I move to the center again sweat out the tears of birth pain sculptress of being I am maker of creations within.
