CREATION
(AN ORAL TEACHING OF THE FAERY TRADITION OF WITCHCRAFT)
Alone, awesome, complete within Herself, the Goddess, She whose name cannot be
spoken, floated in the abyss of the outer darkness, before the beginning of all
things. And as She looked into the curved mirror of black space, She saw by her
own light her radiant reflection, and fell in love with it. She drew it forth by
the power that was in Her and made love to Herself, and called Her "Miria, the
Wonderful".
Their ecstasy burst forth in the single song of all that is, was, or ever shall
be, and with the song came motion, waves that poured outward and became all the
spheres and circles of the worlds. The Goddess became filled with love, swollen
with love, and She gave birth to a rain of bright spirits that filled the worlds
and became all beings.
But in that great movement, Miria was swept away, and as She moved out from the
Goddess She became more masculine. First She became the Blue God, the gentle ,
laughing God of love. Then She became the Green One, vine-covered, rooted in the
earth, the spirit of all growing things. At last She became the Horned God, the
Hunter whose face is the ruddy sun and yet dark as Death. But always desire
draws Him back toward the Goddess, so that He circles Her eternally, seeking to
return in love.
All began in love; all seeks to return to love. Love is the law, the teacher of
wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.
