Lilith
by Sandra Stanton

Inanna-Lilith-Shekhinah...
She of
all knowing, dark wisdom....She of the deep
abyss, snake's descent, owl's knowing...woman of
the dark, the light.
We
praise you, we stand in awe
marveling at the myriad surprises you hold in
store for us always respectful of your power,
your mystery.
Lilith-Inanna-Shekhinah,
we worship you, in all your aspects; we sing
your name.
Walk with us as we yearn to serve you... Never
let us forget your presence
in, around and through us, as we seek to
proclaim and praise you in every corner of the
world,
in your many guises, by every name.
Walk
with us as we love you, when we are angered by
you, when we fail to comprehend you and when
we renew our resolve to serve...
Be patient with us as we must be with ourselves,
each other... holding your presence even when in
doubt or despair.
Let us
walk into this new millenium as a time of
healing, of casting new roles for ourselves and
others, weaving new threads of oneness and
wonder
Inanna-Lilith-Shekhinah,
keeper of the mystery Be with us through ecstasy
and harmony
through death and destruction
You who
were given the setting up of lamentations, the
care of children,
the rejoicing of the heart, the giving of
judgments, the stirring of sexuality,
the making of decisions.
In the
eye of this wisdom, rising forth from the power
of your being, your foresight, your intent...how
is it we ever got lost, taken over,
subsumed?
How did
we e'er become convinced we were not worthy to
serve you, that you were the god/not the
goddess? How did you/we allow ourselves to be
sidetracked,
trampled, silenced and burned?
Allow us
always to remember our inner strengths, to come
from a place of understanding
Let us not be swayed from our goals.
Work with us, inspire us, protect us as we weave
your work - our work.
Help us,
sweet dark lady of the night, holy winged figure
of the light -- rageful, wise judge, warmest
heart, soulful visionary...highest priestess of
the Temples to whom
every knee must bend and every tongue give
homage.
It is
your word we write now upon the doorpost of our
house and upon our gates,
Your word, acts, images and thoughts we share,
grow mad at, weep with and seek to learn.
It is YOU who makes rise our greatest laughter,
happiness, peace and compassion, who sees and
gives us our greatest rage and storm, temper and
venom; you from whom and with whom we learn to
combine these things in the best ways
possible...
Sweet,
dark goddess/es of the earth and sky, river and
mountain, night and day, Heaven &
Hell.
We seek
to embody your passion, your wisdom, your
strength. Be with us now.
