| Our past, Our Present, Our Future, Our Truth Ramblings of ck2179 Adoptation from Margot Adler Copyright MM C. Perkins Many thousand of millienia ago We entered existence by pure thought Living by the knowlegde Of the One, Goddess, and God We were one with nature They were one with us Peace reigned supreme And legends were born Then the Burning Times came Millions of our ancestors killed Crusified, hanged, or slain by unjust people For one simple reason We were different than them Wiccedom was conquered and then destoryed Over the span of the centuries to come We drove underground Hiding from death and persecution Moving to far-away lands Keeping our ways a secret from others that would hurt us Teaching our children the ways of love and life Governments soon repealed its old anti-WitchCraft laws And a single soul named Gardner rose up He started to teach the once forgeton ways His act inspired many to do the same Many books were written, and students taught People picked up books and started to self teach themselves Milions of children of the Craft bloomed around the world Now its a new Millienium We still live and exsist But no longer in fear We are the ancestors of the Wise The rebuilders of Wiccedom The protectors of the meek We are not evil We follow the light, not the dark We worship nature We don't harm or seduce you We are not dangerous We are ordinary people like you We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams We are not a cult We won't knock on your door We won't try to convert you So please don't knock on our door Don't try to convert us We beleive it is one's choice to join the craft Not ours or the Goddess's and God's choice Just give us the same right we give you -- to live in peace -- We are much more similar than you think We are all human and part of creation People of all ages continue learn the Craft to this day Local libraries are starting to carry books about Wicca Some young adults study the Craft for Term-papers or a Thesis Even afterwards, these people continue to gossip about it Spreading the word that one's choice in religion can be satisfied That one is no longer threated by a higher power in anyway Even if they dont become wiccan One will still be safe Someone somewhere right now is asking or reading about the Craft They will know the truth about Wicca And laugh at the myths thier parents or teachers gave them The Burning Times are over We will continue our journey Through the cycles of the seasons Whether it be public or not To teach love, trust, and right all things Whether it be needed or not One day true peace will come again And we all can live together without fear Our fear of continued persacution Your fear of continued myths of us We are the true alpha and omega We were here in the beginning We will last to the end Blessed Be So Mote It Be |
