46 SACRED WORDS OF THE MOTHERS

0 – SNAKEDANCE – EGG AND SNAKE – FERTILE VOID

Close your eyes
Feel the earth
under your feet
She who bears you
She who still bears everything
Open your ears
to the sound of the drums
Find yourself
in their rhythm
Let your skin become wide awake
Seek for the song
within you
And swing yourself into it
very gently
Release the movement
of every restriction
until all is flowing
within you
and devote yourself
to the delight of dancing
till all thoughts are consumed
in the flaring fire
and your limits are opening

the sound
of the next step

6.5. TO HALLOW – TO TEACH – TO CONSECRATE

Sister spider
teach me
to knot the threads of my life
always anew into a net
where what I need will get caught
Teach me to live
with the daily possible loss
and the necessary new beginning
out of one’s own centre
Teach me to bear the silk thread
and to swing in the wind
Instruct me in the art of waiting
and in the use of patience
Show me the benefit of nimbleness
the indispensability to hide
and to disappear without a trace when it is time
Teach me the innermost agreement:
living is dying
and even the most perfect net
does not give security
All hangs sometime
on a silk thread
…
that does not last forever
6.6. TO BIND – TO JUDGE – TO LOOSEN/TO SOLVE
It is your weakness that let you fear to see precisly
to perceive completely the wounds of the Earth
out of fear to become crazy
to despair in the face of the extent of misery and harm,
the shed holy blood of the Mother
The fear to lose every hope
seduces you to renounce the use of all your senses
lames your power
and would also bring you the unnoticed dying
It is your fear that forces you
to feel, to see, to think, to comprehend
throwing you back upon yourself
And now learn that nothing effective can be done easily
that all that is alive needs time for growing and healing
according to its own measure
that every change needs power
that wants to be gathered at the limits
of all that is possible
that all follows the incessant change and nothing lasts Learn that the pain demands
to accept losses as belonging to life
Feel therefore with every fibre
the inseparableness of growing and dying
in every moment
Nothing can be saved

flows
on

7.3. GATE OF THE SUN
WARMTH – TO KNOW – TO WILL – TO DARE
Go to the edge with a firm step
till the toes anticipate the abyss
Find your balance
Sense your centre of gravity
Drive roots deep into the Earth
down into the abyss
Open your eyes completely
and see with the power of your soul
until every stone, every plant, every animal
takes clear shape within you
until the distant becomes near
and the near becomes distant
till all is dissolved in the whirling dance
of incessant change
And look precisly
without regard without caution
Live once more through the fear of the last step
of being crazy
Sense that you don’t need it any longer
because the enforced narrowness
clips your roots, robs your power
Therefore see with the eyes of the eaglewomban
and trust your power
Jump
7.4. GATE O THE WINDS
JOY – TO DEVOTE – HUMILITY – TO HEAL

At the right place
at the right time

The snake of transformation comes
by your soundless calling
Give the yearning of your heart
the warmth of your hands
