The Story Of Creation
Long, long ago there was only darkness~~a
deep, ebony ocean of empty infinity~~the void that was no place. From
this place of nothingness, Spirit drew in upon itself and, with a mighty
burst of joyful vibration, our Lady of Light exploded into being, Her
essence the totality of perfect love and perfect trust. In Her heart She
held the presence of Spirit, and there was no part of Her that was not
divine.
In delight, our Lady began the Great Work. She
danced among the heavens, Her bare feet beating out the rhythm of all
creation, giving birth to every pattern of energy as sparks of light
catapulted from Her flying hair and extended fingertips. She created the
stars and planets, and bid them to dance with Her. As they began to
move, so the cycle of the year was born, and the divine symphony of the
universe came into form. She gave them names of power, each unto their
own. These things moved from the void, into the thought, given the
breath of light, and then into the world.
Our Lady
chanted the words of perfect love and perfect peace and, as these sounds
fell to the Earth, the trees, flowers, and grasses took root in the
fertile soil of Gaia. From the pure, white light of Her breath came the
colors of the universe, turning all things to vibrant beauty. From the
bubbling laughter in Her throat sprang the sounds of the clear, running
water of the springs, the gentle lapping vibrations of the lake, and the
roaring of the oceans. Her tears of happiness became the rains of our
survival. Our Lady was the Presence, and the Presence our Lady.
And
when Her dancing slowed, the Lady sought a companion to share the
wonders of the many worlds. As the Holy Spirit, She created the God as
Her soul mate. Because our Lady so loved the Earth, the energy pattern
of the God contained both the essence of the Presence and the divine
energy of the Earth~~and He was known by many names: Green Man;Lord of
the Forests; King of the Fields; and Father, Son, and Sage.
Together,
the Lord and Lady created all the beings of Earth. The Lord's power
moved through Her, and She showered the Earth and all upon it with Her
blessings. Together, They designed the birds, animals, fish, insects,
reptiles, and people of our world. To protect and guide the humans, the
Lord and Lady fashioned the angels, guides and spirits of power. These
energies still walk with us, although we often cannot see them.
To
each being our Lady gave a unique vibration in which to communicate,
and the Lord bestowed to each the fire of passion and the burning
instinct to survive. As a gift for his magnificent handiwork and caring
for the creatures of Earth, our Lady gave our Lord a crown of stag
antlers, which He wears upon His great head. This aspect of half man,
half animal would forever show His joy in both the human and animal
creations of the Presence. The crown will always be a symbol that people
can spiritually work with the duality of their own natures to reach
into the core of Spirit.
Together, the Lord and Lady
blessed the first humans with free will. "We are the gods, and the gods
are us!" the people cried. And the Lord and Lady smiled. "We are all
one," said our Lady, and through a web of silver light She connected
each human to the other, and then linked the humans to all other energy
patterns on the planet. When this was done, She wove Herself and Her
Lord into the divine tapestry of pulsating energy. "Love is the law,
honor is the bond," said the Lord as He empowered the tapestry of life.
Our
Lady has many names: Isis, Astarte, Bride, Diana, Aradia, Innana,
Hecate, Mitzu Gami, and thousands more. The Lady walks within and beside
each woman and man of every race and every place. She is Maiden,
Mother, and Crone. She is the sacred trinity of all religions. Indeed,
She is the Holy Ghost.
The Lord has many faces, from
the strong Cernunnos to the delightful Pan, and Osiris, Tyr, Anubis, Ra,
Apollo, Odin, and thousands more. He guards and guides us and resides
in each man and woman of every race in every place. When thunder roars
in the heavens and lightning cracks from the ground, the Lord and Lady
dance the divine myth of creation so that we may remember Them and know
that we are never alone, and that we are one. When the sun rises each
morning, we bask in the joy of His love for us, and when the moon moves
through Her phases, we understand the cycle of birth, growth, death, and
rebirth, as is the nature of all things, and we honor Her power.
But
as the humans began to grow and prosper, they forgot about their divine
parents. Although the Lord and Lady called to Their children, they did
not listen. They were lost, fighting the demons they themselves had
created. Not wishing to abandon Their children, the Lord and Lady
decided to create healers and workers of harmony among the humans to
remind them of the divine source and to show them the way home to the
arms of the Mother. Within each special soul would be the remembrance of
the Great Work: to love, create, and move in harmony. And so the Lord
and Lady drew forth energy from the realm of angels, the realm of power
animals, the realm of the dead, and the realm of humans, instilling
these special soul with the divine energy of the Presence through the
miracles of magick. These beings of power were called Witches.
