In the cool of the evening they used to gather,'neath the stars in the meadow circle near and old oak tree. At the times appointed by the seasons of the earth and the phases of the moon. In the center oft' stood a woman,equal with the others and respected for her word. One of the many we call the witches. The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of the earth. The people grew through the knowledge she gave them, herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their bodies whole. Hear them chanting healing incantations, calling forth the wise ones. Celebrate in dance and song.

There were those who came to power, domination. And they bonded in the worship of a dead man on a cross. They sought control over the common people by demanding allegiance to the church of Rome. And the Pope declared the inquisition. It was a war upon the women whose power they feared. In this holocaust against the nature people nine million European women died. And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds holding together chose their deaths in the sea, while chanting the praises of the mother Goddess. A refusal of betrayel,women were dying to be free.

Now the Earth is a witch, and the men still burn her. Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their wars. Still to us the Earth is a healer, a teacher, a mother. She is the weaver of the web of life that keeps us all alive. She gives us the vision to see through the chaos. She gives us the courage, it is our will to survive.
