To Paniris

You
Child of Rainbows
Light-hearted, You carry a message on the wind
You dance between heaven and earth
Graceful and stumbling
Joyful as You weep
You embody contradictions

Mahatala Jata

To Mahatala-Jata, the mountain god/deep water goddess of the Dayak people of Borneo, I offer my devotion.

one

I feel you on my left

Dark water snake

Weaving your dangerous paths

Unseen, unheard

Ready to emerge

two

I feel you in my center

Glittering rainbow bridge

Jewels of untold worth

Bridging the universe

three

I feel you on my right

Hornbill atop the mountain

Soaring in the skies

Unfettered as you rule the day

four

I feel you merging

The pull of destruction-creation

bright-dark, day-night, male-female

Your eyes luminous

As you twist and turn and dive

Threading between the deep waters and the high heavens

five

I feel your voice calling

I feel your voice speaking

I feel you gifted and giver

With those like me

My sisterbrother kin

Awake in the world

The Threefold Charge of Light and Fire

As we dive into summer, I offer up this Threefold Charge which includes a place for a mxgender voice in addition to the God and Goddess. All hail the May Court! All hail the heat, light, and power of Summer itself!

Threefold Charge of Light and Fire

Hear ye the words of the God/dess/x

The power of whose flame births the world

Whose heat is the spark of creation

I am the hot glare of the sun

And the wild rage of the fire

And the roaring throb of sex

And the revelry of the land in abundance

Call unto you arise and come unto me

For I am the beating heart of the universe

From me, you take your pulse

And unto me, you bear the fruits of your desire

Before my throne, beloved of all

Let your divine innermost self

Sit in the lap of radiance

Let my worship be in the heart that rejoices

For behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals

Therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and pride, mirth and reverence among you

And those of you that seek to know me, know this: 

That that which you seek, you shall never find

Unless you know your own power

For behold, I have been with you from the beginning

And I am that which you attain in the glowing potential at the center of your own soul.
