A Woman's Medicine arises
from the West arm of the Wheel
A ceremonial incense
Fragrantly purifying
helping us to cleanse, calm and heal...
"We curl our scented arms
in a welcoming embrace
Conferring strength
imparting Wisdom
evoking Clarity
Reconnecting you with Grace
Stripping away
accumulated negativity
Cleansing psychic litter
from your space
We announce
clearing the air
Smudging
without leaving a trace
Savory as desert sunshine
our Wisdom steams
from the Lodge's blessed stones
opening pores from soul to skin
singing health and youthfulness
into your bones
Humble panacea
You might find me
on any given day
darkening Elders' roots
sharing a steaming cup of tea,
preserving meats or stuffing birds.
Perhaps tending the ill with infamous
Four Thieves oil, or
strengthening soup.
I am always
preparing the People
ready to celebrate their Way
Carrying intentions on the Winds
from your Heart
to Creator
to the Ancestors
to All Our Relations
and back again
carrying Creator's love
home to your heart.
For those new to the game, each poem is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; a star, stone, animal, plant, etc that holds lessons of Wisdom for us. Can you guess who is singing today?
Sage?
