The Lady danced among the Heavens, her feet beating out the Rhythm of all Creation. Sparks of Light catapulted from her hair, giving birth to the Stars and Planets. As she twirled, these heavenly bodies began to move with her in the Divine Symphony of The Universe.
When her dancing quickened she formed the Mountains and Seas of Earth. She chanted words of Love and Joy, and as these sounds fell to Earth the Trees and Flowers were born. From the pure white light of her breath came the Colors of The Universe, turning all things to vibrant Beauty. From her bubbling laughter came the sounds of the Pristine waters of the Springs and Brooks, the gentle lapping vibrations of Lakes and the roaring screams of the Oceans. Her tears of Joy became our Rains of Survival.
When her dancing slowed and she sought a companion to share the wonders of the World, the Spirit created The Lord as her Lifemate and Companion. Because she so Loved Earth, Spirit made her Companion half Spirit, half Animal so that together the Lord and Lady might populate the Planet. The Lord's power moved through her and together they gave birth to the Animals and Humans of our world. To each Bird the Lady gave a magickal song, and to each Animal, The Lord bestowed the instinct to Survive.
The Lady took the body of the Moon as her symbol to represent the gentle Light of her perfect Peace. The Lord took the vibrant rays of the Sun as his symbol of Strength in perfect Love.
Now when Thunder roars in the Heavens, and Lightning cracks the Ground, the Lord and Lady dance in the divine myth of Creation so that we may remember and know we are not alone.
When the Sun rises each morning we bask in the Joy of his Love for us, and when the Moon moves through her phases we understand the Cycle of Birth, Growth, Death and Rebirth.
When it is our time, the Witches return to the Summerland. From the spirit that moves and flows through the Lord and Lady we continue to learn the mysticism of the Universe so that we may return, Life anfter Life, to serve our Brothers and Sisters.
In each Lifetime Spirit guides us through learning expiriences, preparing us along the way for our individual missions. Sometimes we are Born among our own kind, sometimes we must seek our Spiritual Family. Many of us do not remember our chosen path until Adulthood, but others know instinctively of their heritage from the time they form their own Thoughts.
