My Lady Freya
Mistress of Lighting
Bringer of Storm
Chooser of the Slain
Many Stories have been
told of Freya
Not all of them Flattering
A Warrior, a Free Woman,
A Lover of Beauty
and believer in choosing
One's partners as one
wills
Sounds
like a woman of the years 2000 + to me :)
It
is said, she rode across the Night sky in a chariot
drawn
by Wild Cats
Maybe
that's why there's always been a picture of
a
tiger in my house somewhere :)
She
was skilled in the ways of Seidhr,
The
magick with which one walks the nine Worlds
Of
the World tree of Yggdrasill
Much is made of her necklace
Brisingamen,
The golden necklace which
stands for her Power
Over the material world.
People seem more concerned
over
how she supposedly got
it
Than what it means. In
exchange for her favors
So it is said
Then, much as now, Even
a Goddess can get
put down for free love
as a "wild woman"
Then
let us be Wild as the wolf,if therein lies
Strength
Then
let us be Free, if freedom means Power
Then
let us use the magick of Seidhr,
To
walk between the Worlds,
If
on this path lies the power to make Change
Then
let us be as cunning as the Wild Cat,
If
this means Liberation
Then
let us be the Warrior who Heals the World,
As
our Mother meant us to Be
Mother of Lighting
Mistress of Storms
Be
With us Now in our Hour of Need
Mother of Beauty
Mother of Wit
Be
With us Now in our Time of Youth
Mother of Magick
Mother of Freedom
Be
With us Now in our Time of Ritual
Mother of Love
Mother of Will
Be
With us Now in our Time of Choosing
Mother of Heroes
Mother of Earth
Be
With us Now the Time of Earths Need
Great Mother of Old do
we Call to You
We Offer you Sacrifice
of Our Labor
We Offer you Wine made
by our Hand
We Offer the Fruit of
the Vine
Which You helped us to
Grow
Help
us to Stand Firm
In
the Face of Life's Storms
Help
us to Stand Tall when The
World
would have us Small and Meek
Help
us to Walk Proud
In
our Jewels of Knowledge
So
Hard Won
Help
us to Walk Between the Worlds
As
our Ancestors Before us Bade
Hail
to Thee Dear Chooser of the Slain
For
Only the Brave May Enter
Valhalla
