The Goddess

In the moment
before the days begin to be measured,
I dance
alone
and love
alone
and find myself

in one of those moods.
I cry aloud,
Connection! I cry,
Empty space must now be filled!
And so I squat down

in my secret place
(before there is any place).
I sit upon deepest red and farthest purple
and watch the way my breathing goes.

One
Darkness dreams our spinning grandmothers
and Light begins her quickening walkabout.

Two
Sun and Moon call forth their chariots
and planetary rulers assume their thrones.

Three
Holy Wisdom picks up her basket of seeds
and wings and waves and trees begin to sing aloud.

Four
beehive, silver egg, and drum begin to tick
and my wine-dark womb opens.

In the void
before the earth is peopled
I see
community
and touch
community
and find myself

well filled with lovingkindness.
I laugh aloud,
Connection! I laugh,
Sacred space is forever filled!
And so I rise up

from my secret place
(and now the world is born).
I dance its four corners, dance its deepest centre,
and witness all the ways my loving goes.

poem : Barbara Ardinger

Hine Nui Te Po (The Great Woman of Darkness). Te Po was a phase of the creation preceding the bith of Papatuanuku, the earth mother, and She personifies the night, the darkness. Te Po goes back far beyond the gods themselves. Embryo earth was conceived in the womb of darkness and it is She who births the material world.


I am aged in aeons, being Te Po, the Night, that came from Te Kore, the Nothing.

First there was Te Kore that could neither be felt nor sensed. This was the void, the silence, where there was no movement and none to move, no sound and none to hear, no shape and none to see.

It was out of this nothingness that Increase and Consciousness, and I, Te Po, were born.

I am aged in aeons, and I am Night of many nights. Night of many darknesses - Night of great darkness, long darkness, utter darkness, birth and death darkness; of darkness unseen, darkness touchable and untouchable, and of every kind of darkness that can be.

In my womb lay Papatuanuku, Earth Mother, who was conceived in Darkness, born into Darkness - and who matured in Darkness, and in Darkness mated with the Sky, Rangi.

Then Papatuanuku too conceived, and bore many children among the many ages of Te Po.

Last night
I dreamed that
you and I had
words: Cyprian.

I thank you for this group discussion...and I thank you for letting me join in.

"We all come from the Goddess and to her we must return; like a drop of rain, flowing towards the ocean..."

A daily Prayer

May the Goddess be in my mind and in my thinking
May the Goddess be in my eyes and in my seeing
May the Goddess be in my throat and in my speaking
May the Goddess be in my belly and in my knowing
May the Goddess be in my womb and in my creating
May the Goddess be in my feet and in my walking
May the Goddess be this day and in every day
Blessed be the Goddess.
