Invocation for Inanna's Ancient Priestxes

O you holy ones of Inanna

You Priestxes of ancient times

We call to you

To the kurgarra, musicians of the goddess

Shaking and stamping and strumming

Making sounds pleasing to Her ears

To the sal-zikrum, the women-men priests of the goddess

Dressed in your sacred garb

To the kulu’u, the kalum, who composed the hymns singing her praise

The fire of Inanna burned in your hearts

As she has burned in ours

To the assinnu, you lament singers of Inanna

Swaying and calling to Her

Grieving her as she hung underground

And to asushummir, made of light

Made of dust to slip between the worlds

Neither man nor woman

You descended between the gates

To bring the waters of life, the food of life,

To Inanna, so She could rise again

O you holy ones of Inanna

Alight like I am alight

In between like I am in between

Be here now

Ancestors, we call you home

Hail and welcome!

The mxgender Priestxes of Come As You Are Pagan Congregation invite people of any and all genders — or none — to join us in honoring our beloved transcestors and ansxtors, especially those whose lives ended in violence. We will send them on their way on a wave of rainbow love and peace. We will be calling on Paneros; All Love, the Metagender deity of the Tetrad++ pantheon, to guide us in smashing the invisible barriers that keep us from love. You are invited to bring ancestral items and images to charge on the altar, and a treat to share for cakes and ale after we open the circle.

Our Mission: The Rainbow Moon Circle is a safe and sacred space for all to explore the spectra of gender and identity. We honor the holistic experience of self-determined identity and its infinite intersections. We celebrate the glittering prism of Divine existence that is powerful, delightful, enthusiastic, playful, transformative, magickal, compassionate, and reverent. Live the Spectra!

Paneris Fire Song

Last November, we held a Release ritual in honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance. It was heavy, joyous work. We worked with Paneris, and I wrote this song to them/him/her.

Paneris' Fire Song

I burn, I burn with the fire

Opening up to my desire

Love will meet me at the pyre

Love will meet me at the pyre 

Please share and use this song, in honor of Paneris. All praise to Paneris, and the Tetrad++!
