To connect with the Goddess is to deny no part of creation. She brings us the wisdom of the darkness. Her wisdom manifests in the close and holy night, in roots and wombs, within our shadow selves, under the earth, and in between one another. Darkness is essential, Darkness is filled with life and idea waiting to be born Seeds need light and darkness to grow. Sometimes we must close our eyes for thoughts to germinate and grow, Darkness is for reflection, for looking within, for healing and renewing - the blind are often the greatest seers.
Sound travels better in the dark and stars only share their wisdom at night.
Ye stand at the year's crossroad Between the light and dark. If that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire. Dance to the drums until you hear the gong, then drop to the earth and give her thanks for the harvest and the healing energy we have raised. Dance and chant begins.
