Goddessly Beauty

We all have our own personal images of beauty, and the faces of the Goddess
I thought I might share some of mine. Everything is written by me except where noted. Enjoy! :)




Eyes as dark and a moonless night, looks deep in your soul
Fiery spirit, passion and flair, no one tells her who she is
The daughter of the furies, retribution for her sister pain
Only the most perfect of love will touch her, true of word and of deed
She is whole, she is goddess, she is the future






Earth Mother, we honor your body
Earth Mother, we sing to your stones
Earth Mother, we enter your body
Earth Mother, we honor your bones

Listen to the spirit, they call you, sister
The stories they tell touch you deep, don’t turn away in fear
Face the magic of your heart, you may learn you are stronger than you know
Do not listen to the mad whispers, those that cut your soul, bleed out your will
You frighten them, those who would hide your power from you
They fear your magic, your light, your knowing of the truth
Listen to the drumbeat of the ancestors, your heartbeat, the link to your maternal line
You are sacred, sister, reclaim your power
She is waiting
She is waiting
She is waiting!





The beauty of a woman’s wind kissed face, hair gently tousled by the chilled winter air.
Her cheeks glow red with the cold, like they’re on fire, and my heart jumps
She wets her full lips with a teasing tongue, they glisten, begging to be kissed.
Colorful bits of wool come together, protectively cradling her sensual neck
The deepness of her eyes pulled me in, and I happily surrender
My lover, my beauty, my goddess





You are born to the many and born to the one.
In the lap of your mother you are held by us all.
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours
Can you feel our protection as we bind you a spell?
Can you hear our blessing you beautiful child?
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours
There is a coil of all women encircling time.
We are dancing through mirrors and unbroken lines.
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours
From mother to daughter, to daughter to babe.
At the breast of one woman you are fed by us all.
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours
To the earth house of light you have quietly returned.
We greet you with honor and welcome you in.
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Come into our dream
Now it’s yours

Quote from the song “Come Into Our Dream” written by Caroline Hillyer
I love Ruth Barrett’s version of this one on “The Year is a Dancing Woman, V1” cd
This song verse tears me up every time, especially the one verse that fits this pic best.







With each breath come the Winds of change
Sing Daughters of Her blood
Within our womb burns the Amazon fire
Dance Daughters of Her blood
Our tears will cleanse the wounded land
Rage Daughters of Her blood
Let the drum beat sisters, time to make a stand
For we are all Daughters of Her blood




Spiral is turning
Season is changing
Old One is waiting
Blessed is she

“Spiral is Turning” written by Holin Kennen and Carolyn Hillyer
