Inanna-Lilith-Shekhinah...
She of all knowing, dark wisdom....She of the deep abyss, snake's descent, owl's knowing...woman of the dark, the light.
We praise you, we stand in awe
marveling at the myriad surprises you hold in store for us always respectful of your power, your mystery.
Lilith-Inanna-Shekhinah, we worship you, in all your aspects; we sing your name.
Walk with us as we yearn to serve you... Never let us forget your presence
in, around and through us, as we seek to proclaim and praise you in every corner of the world,
in your many guises, by every name.
Walk with us as we love you, when we are angered by you, when we fail to comprehend you and when
we renew our resolve to serve...
Be patient with us as we must be with ourselves, each other... holding your presence even when in doubt or despair.
Let us walk into this new millenium as a time of healing, of casting new roles for ourselves and others, weaving new threads of oneness and wonder
Inanna-Lilith-Shekhinah, keeper of the mystery Be with us through ecstasy and harmony
through death and destruction
You who were given the setting up of lamentations, the care of children,
the rejoicing of the heart, the giving of judgments, the stirring of sexuality,
the making of decisions.
In the eye of this wisdom, rising forth from the power of your being, your foresight, your intent...how is it we ever got lost, taken over, subsumed?
How did we e'er become convinced we were not worthy to serve you, that you were the god/not the goddess? How did you/we allow ourselves to be sidetracked,
trampled, silenced and burned?
Allow us always to remember our inner strengths, to come from a place of understanding
Let us not be swayed from our goals.
Work with us, inspire us, protect us as we weave your work - our work.
Help us, sweet dark lady of the night, holy winged figure of the light -- rageful, wise judge, warmest heart, soulful visionary...highest priestess of the Temples to whom
every knee must bend and every tongue give homage.
It is your word we write now upon the doorpost of our house and upon our gates,
Your word, acts, images and thoughts we share, grow mad at, weep with and seek to learn.
It is YOU who makes rise our greatest laughter, happiness, peace and compassion, who sees and gives us our greatest rage and storm, temper and venom; you from whom and with whom we learn to combine these things in the best ways possible...
Sweet, dark goddess/es of the earth and sky, river and mountain, night and day, Heaven & Hell.
We seek to embody your passion, your wisdom, your strength. Be with us now.
