It's the thought that counts



 People witness the call to enter sacred space with the declaration of the intention of honoring the many beings, gods and not gods that bless our world and our lives.

The first sacrifice is offered to our most common and ancient relationships of the living and dead that make up what we know and have yet to discover about the vastly huge and immensely complex truth!

EARTH

Mother of being

Lands of All Living

Generator of generations

All the way back

The one and only Original

The Real Deal

The Whole Thing

without idealization, without romanticization,

without interpretation, without exaggeration,

without expectation of special favor, without exploitation of practice 

without fear of penalty, without obligation

offer of our selves this freely given gift to the Great Giver

a tiny bit from a tiny bit part of bigger things of bigger things

genuine authentic appreciation for a nurturing benevolent current that runs through the ages and things of this Living and Dying Place shared as a growing body shared as it is by all generously as particular participants in planetary personhood recognized here and now

Our Ritual in your name 

with our breath

with our sound 

with our words

in our voice

we pray

Earth Mother                                           Accept Our Sacrifice!
