ISHTAR 4

FOUR

I am your guardian and your guide

You will never falter with me at your side

Laden tables, Fruits of Earth

All Nature’s bounty, all her worth

Feast! Rejoice! Re-nu again.

Pleasure removes all feel of pain

Love is the Law

Love is the key

For all of you, who do seek me.

I love you all

In forest glades

By rocky cliffs

On high mountains

And sandy paths

Hear my call,

Come unto me.

Rejoice, celebrate

As in times e not afraid for I am bold

Bold in my love which is for you

Once it is called

It grows anew

Follow my ways

Celebrate all my days

And I will guide you n’er astray

Behold now my light

Shines forth upon you

O brave warriors,

Stand fast for me

Down in the paths

And up in the trees

I have heard

The call made by thee

Here is my songs, they are for thee

My hair swirls around,

My laughter rebounds

Off time worn crags

That do surround

My circle is cast

My strength powers all

Take my hand and you will not fall

These are my words

This is all

I love you

Are you so blind

That you can’t see

The wonderfull beauty

That echoes of me

I have come now, come unto me.

Mid-day ish

hymn to iris

Iris

The Rainbow Dancer

I am the keeper of the Rainbow Bridge

Between my outstretched hands spans the rainbow

Fain and faerie glow the beams

Making the illusion as real as it seems

The pure velvet passion of lovers embrace

This alone shall show my face

The stars do shine and orbit still

Reach to them to do your Will

I give unimaginable joy to life

For light, life, love, liberty I grant

The robe of many swirling hues

From all these colours you may choose

The many coloured rays of life

I dance the ways and weave the path

In pure ecstasy I do laugh

Positive and negative choose ye well

For in my body you may dwell

Climb the steps to reach to me

For your love guides you to me

One and one, we are none

Surrender to the cosmic bliss

For to you now, I send this kiss

The kiss of sight through rainbow eyes

Will sweep away and banish lies

Desire to reach me, stretch out your hand

With your feet firm on the land

For when you join with me in play

This shall be your guided way

For times now change and acorns spin

So new magicks must begin

love

I am one with the power that created me

To live in pure love and harmony

To hear the sound of all living things

Of which the mysterious universe brings

I am one with the power that created me

Flowing like the tide of the sea,

Either stormy or calm,

Where seagulls fly or fish swim

Are the dark and secret depths below

I am one with the power that created me

Just as the humming is with the bumble bee

Flying happily from flower to flower,

With grace and great power

His tiny wings beating, so as can’t be seen

I am one with the power that created me

With the Goddess deep within my soul

When asleep my body and mind calm and at peace,

Where my whole being can be released

Into swirling colours and sparkling stars,

To become one with my Ka.

Prayer to Sekhmet

Our Lady of the Sun, ultraviolet Queen,

And of midday the potent sorceress,

O great Goddess from the deep of time,

Blessed be the name of Sekhmet,

Your power we invoke to aid us here!

Your Sun the disk of life

Reflecting golden light upon the Earth,

And everyday your image shines.

Mistress of Magic, ruler of Strength,

Both seen and unseen, Spinner of rays,

Oh ancient One of birth, death and rebirth,

Awakener, enlightener and sparkling one,

With ever-lasting Love (undone) may we be one.

Kali – Dancing Goddess

Kali

The Blackness Void.

Does Kali Bring.

Tear your heart

And slay yourself

Lift yourself and die

In the dark is comfort still

Blackness cleanses, Absorbs all ill

Dance and howl,

And Shriek and Wail

As life blood drips from lolling tongue,

So all desires are burnt away,

Only empty comes forth by day.

ISHTAR 3

THREE

In the dark I am
In pain and sorrow I go
For loves sake I give all
Down in hell to Deaths dark wall

Tormented limbs and twisted mind,
There in darkness you can find,
A mothers love,
Close at hand

Come to me, reach out your hand
One last push towards the land
Of darkness
Nu life waits to grow anew
Will you reach it, it is for you

I hold you hand and give you strength
Through nights of pain,
And days of woe
To travel far you must go

My tears rain down
To wash away,
To guide you to the light of day.

Heaven and Hell
As above, so below
All is me, I am all
Use the pain,
Reach to the heights

I never left you,
It is your doubt
Where it is, I am not
Thus is not yours, not your lot
Reach for me

My tears rain down
And wash away
This foul stain
Removes all pain
Till you can see me once again

Take heart, re-nu once more
For you have far to go

Take my hand
My heart is yours
Now, and forever,
I love you.

ISHTAR 2

TWO

In greenest light
Or darkest night
I give light and I give sight
Look above and down below
Where I am you will know
The seals are open
The gateway there
Take your steps upon my stair

From times of old
To now anew
Hear my call, I call to you
I will always see you through
With strength and courage
Call my name
For I will come again and again

What must be found is near at hand,
In my cool light you must stand
Down on beaches in the sand
Make my sign
Inside the circle
Re-new again
Pledges made from times afar

Perfect love and perfect trust
Light and life and love and lust

I love you all
My children now

As waves roll in and wash away
So I love another day

Cleanse and purify
All to me
And I will come again to thee…

All hail Ishtar!

ISHTAR 1

Ishtar – ONE

ONE

I am the Mother of All
I am above and below
I am the fruits
I am the birds
I am all creatures
I am the love
I am the trust
Call me, with joy and love
Dance, sing, I am with you always

I am the blue waters
The green earth
The skies above
The flame that burns in the hearts of all

The circle and the sword
Love and war
Be strong, life up thyself
I am thy guide and inspiration

Love me as I love you all
I am light and I am life
I guide in darkness
For I am the light

All fruits are to me
And planting and harvesting,
I give abundance

With golden hair
And flaming brow
I call on you, come to me now,
In joy, I am

As of old so now anew
Hear my call which is for you

8 and 1 and 1 and 8
Here I am
Forever a gate

All days all nights
All times are mine
Do not restrict
This is not mine

Seek the crown of golden light
To guide you through the darkest rite

In ancient sites and forgotten paths
I am near, I am found,
Above, below, in all the ground
Here am I, I am found

Love all! Rejoice
Call forth my name
Then I will come
Again and again.
