We’Moon Holy Days: Seasonal Blessings
In each edition of the We’Moon datebook, we feature one Holy Day writer who shares with us her unique perspectives of each of the eight holy days. This year, we have the pleasure of sharing the work of Oak Chezar. Oak is a radical Dyke, performance artist, Women's Studies professor, psychotherapist, writer, & semi-retired barbarian. She lives in a straw bale, womyn-built house. She just published "Trespassing", a memoir about Greenham Common Womyn's Peace Camp. Whilst working & playing towards the decimation of patriarchy & industrial civilization, she carries water. oakchezar@gmail.com
2018 La Luna!
We'Moon 2018 La Luna!
Shapeshifter! Magician of the Night.
Now we see you—Now we don't
Now we see you again
How astonished we were,
deep in the original eon
when humanity was a babe
and we first saw the darkness
gobble you up.
then saw you grow back—
over and over.
How can this be?
We bow down with awe,
reach to you in wonder.
Jezanna, Ixchel, Hina, Menos
We call you by innumerable names
Selene, Anahita, Neith, Mama Quilla
We worship you with terror and praise
Mother of Life and Death
Mother of Time
We scratch days on our calendar bones . . .
Lo! We bleed—just so—
as you dance you mirror
steady is your rhythm
Magnet Mother
You pull our blood, you pull the Great Waters
capillaries and pools, eddies and plasma.
Dreams and hunches. Madness, Illusion.
Changing Woman
you hold, you yield flood and recede
befriend darkness, unveil soft light.
Born to walk your Moonwise path,
we trust
Your Revolution.
Blessed Be.
