I Hear the Goddess Coming 

I hear the Goddess coming 

She is brooding in the winds

She is in the mists of ocean

Taking form: The Feminine

She callls into the winters 

Gathers women like they’re sheep 

She bands our forms together 

Sacred oath made in bare feet 

She calls us from within our chests 

Like fire her voice is hot 

Her message quakes with chaos

Listen or you’ll rot:

“I am clawing through the darkness”

“I am swarming through the seas,

I am calling up my witches

Bringing bad men to their knees

I am ripping open justice

I’m unspoiling Liberty 

For the ones who have been honest 

In their searching and their pleas

I have heard cries long enough 

[Of women] caged with broken wings 

I’m unlocking all their powers 

And sacred earth codings .

You won’t see me; I’m in darkness 

Huddled up for far too long 

But I’m awakening my witches—

To the woods! Let’s sing our songs!”

There’s no reason,” I hear them saying 

“There’s no reason to be mean”

“Just be peaceful” I hear them calling 

Just be peaceful and be clean.”

But how my anger rises when denial they do bring 

And how my rage ignites when they say I’m being mean 

For they stripped us of our wildness 

They ripped it from our seams 

They have stolen our libations 

Crushed with Christianity 

So I’ll scour this earth’s surface 

for the Magic that’s still there,

And I’ll conjure up my queens and let their songs ring in the air 

For those that want us quiet

Need to know this one thing: 

The Feminine brings redemption 

It is Her that this world needs!!”

The Feminine does not desire 

To take over everything, 

The Feminine seeks Balance 

In restoring those lost things.

So raise your voices, sisters, 

raise your wands and raise your kids 

To heal the Witch wound magic 

And Restore the Feminine.
