Valley of the Temples

One day, I will set foot on the land of my ancestors

I long to be where they once lived and breathed

I want to lay down on the Earth, with my head in the grass

And feel the energy of the land and of those who have gone before

I yearn to stand in that valley among the olive and almond groves

What do they remember? Trees remember.

I want to root myself to the Earth, and stand tall

Power building

Hear the whispers of the wind

Among the temple ruins, I stand

The echoes of the memories of those who have gone before

Voices on the wind, asking for remembrance

I feel their presence

My blood begins to sing the songs of the forgotten priestesses

The Women

Power building

Juno, Demeter, Persephone, Hekate

Their call is speaking to my soul

Running through the blood in my veins

Power building

Deepening into my bones

My breath, my voice will sing their names

My breath, my body honors them

Always

Remember

The Torch and Key
