The Goddess Speaks
Mother Eve's Tale, Part 1
World Soul
In
the Beginning...
I
am Eve, an avatar of the life-force of this glorious cosmos. I have
danced with galaxies, made love with gods and given birth to worlds,
and so I was sent to nurture a jewel amongst planets. I was sent here
to Earth to bring it LIFE.
Specifically,
I
was sent to Earth to create a GARDEN,
a place of beauty and grace and peace. It’s
what I do best.
I
danced
the
cosmic rhythms of life upon
this
planet,
seeing
its
potentials,
singing
LIFE
into
the dirt, the waters, the fires and the air. I
woke the planet’s energy grid and the system came online.
Earth
was born. So I began to channel its energies into more life.
I
enticed plants to grow and thrive on sunlight, just as I did. I
gave them colors to play with and shapes to best suit them.
And then asked the trees to grow tall to shade us from the fierce
heat of my young sun. And
it was good.
I
lept and let the air currents sweep me where they would, dispersing
seeds, spreading abundant life. I
birthed
my winged children to help. I
gathered moisture and wove clouds and danced on them. And it rained.
I
swam in the deep waters of Earth and gave birth to magnificent
children who
knew how to go with the flow and when to stay rooted.
I blessed the springs that quenched
my thirst with healing and delight. And
it was good.
I
traveled the lava roads, midwifing new lands from fire. Each
land had a voice I
listened to.
I
discovered
what
it wanted to bear—forests
and meadows,
blossoms and fruits. And so it did.
And
I blessed the ground, called the rains, pulled in the fires of creation and
asked the World Tree to gather us in Her arms. To hold and sustain us,
as She does in all the worlds. And She did.
As
my Beloved Earth took hold of herself, I shaped my Garden with sights
and sounds and tastes and smells to delight and refresh the senses of
my children. And for me. For the blessing of life is to always walk
in beauty.
Then
I asked Earth to birth what children she would, for now she was a
co-creator with me. And so came into being our four-legged children.
For
an
endless
time, I
walked in my gardens with my children: lioness and dragon, bear and wolf. And always my snakes nearby to bring me news. So
abundant is my Beloved Earth’s imagination that soon my Garden was
home to whole tribes of animals.
Our
children came and went, learned how to hunt, to couple and to die.
And it was all good.
Everywhere
I walked, I walked in beauty. All my children lived in beauty
and
harmony, life and death flowing in cycles as we orbited our sun in
an eternity of bliss. But even bliss can deepen.
One
day as I walked alone, a wish of my heart grew strong in me. It soon
overflowed my heart and filled me with such delight that I shaped it
into a song. As
I gave it my voice, the
song rang out into my Garden, a sparkling display of light
in all the colors
of my heart.
And
it was good.
As
my song filled the Garden,
my Beloved
Earth rose
up
and gathered
the
song to
Herself,
shaping a form of clay and dirt, green leaves and warm sunshine,
clear water and soft breezes. Shaping
her response to my longing. Offering
her gift to me.
The
Adam. My mate. My Green
Man.
He who would share this paradise with me.
