The Charge of the
Dark Goddess
The Dark Goddess speaks to us, through
the mouths of Lilith, Kali, Tiamet, Hekate, Nix,
the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.
I am the Darkness behind and beneath
the shadows.
I am the absence of air that awaits
at the bottom of every breath.
I am the Ending before Life begins
again,
the Decay that fertilizes the Living.
I am the Bottomless Pit,
the never-ending struggle to reclaim
that which is denied.
I am the Key that unlocks every Door.
I am the Glory of Discovery,
for I am that which is hidden, secluded
and forbidden.
Come to me at the Dark Moon and see
that which can not be seen, face the terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest oceans
to the center of your greatest fears--
the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and yours will
be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure,
and I will intensify it,
until the time when I may have the
greatest pleasure
of meeting you at the Crossroads Between
the Worlds.
Wisdom and empowerment are the gifts
of the Dark Goddess of Transformation.
She is known to us as Kali, Hecate,
Cerridwen, Lilith, Persephone, Fata Morgana, Ereshkigal,
Arianhrod, Durga, Inanna, Tiamat, and
by a million, million other names:
Hear me child, and know Me for who
I am. I have been with you since you were born,
and I will stay with you until you
return to Me at the final dusk.
I am the passionate and seductive lover
who inspires the poet to dream.
I am the One who calls to you at the
end of your journey. After the day is done,
My children find their blessed rest
in my embrace.
I am the womb from which all things
are born.
I am the shadowy, still tomb; all things
must come to Me and bare their breasts to die and
be reborn to the Whole.
I am the Sorceress that will not be
ruled, the Weaver of Time, the Teacher of Mysteries.
I snip the threads that bring my children
home to me. I slit the throats of the cruel
and drink the blood of the heartless.
Swallow your fear and come to me, and
you will discover true beauty, strength, and courage.
I am the fury which rips the flesh
from injustice.
I am the glowing forge that transforms
your inner demons into tools of power.
Open yourself to my embrace and overcome.
I am the glinting sword that protects
you from harm.
I am the crucible in which all the
aspects of yourself merge together in a rainbow of union.
I am the velvet depths of the night
sky, the swirling mists of midnight, shrouded in mystery.
I am the chrysalis in which you will
face that which terrifies you and from which
you will blossom forth, vibrant and
renewed.
Seek me at the crossroads, and you
shall be transformed, for once you look upon my face, there is no return.
I am the fire that kisses the shackles
away.
I am the cauldron in which all opposites
grow to know each other in Truth.
I am the web which connects all things.
I am the Healer of all wounds, the
Warrior who rights all wrongs in their Time. I make the weak strong.
I make the arrogant humble. I raise
up the oppressed and empower the disenfranchised.
I am Justice tempered with Mercy.
Most importantly, child, I am you.
I am part of you, and I am within you.
Seek me within and without, and you
will be strong.
Know me. Venture into the dark so that
you may awaken to Balance, Illumination, and Wholeness.
Take my Love with you everywhere and
find the Power within to be who you wish.

God
