I have stopped apologizing for myself Stopped wiping the dripping blood just to make myself socially acceptable to the masses I am a wild woman and I own Every Single Cell In This Aging Morphing into Willendorf Called by Lilith, An' Morrighan And Erishkigal Body I am... The Wolf prowling under the Full Moon sky, both loner and tribal The Tiger stalking her prey knowing She has the key to removing her own bindings The Panther lying seductively in wait for just the right moment to pounce I am... The Owl in flight under the Dark Moon diving towards the deepest depths of the Dark underworld with eyes to see in the dark and wings to soar to the highest light The Grandmother Turtle moving at her own pace knowing she has existed lifetimes upon lifetimes and will exist for that many more for the codes of the universe are written upon her very skin I am... The Old Antlered One who has walked the Ley Lines, the Dragon Lines since before time was time I am Crone and Virgin Seductress and Mother Amazon and Warrioress Sorceress, Witch and Conjure Woman Medial Woman and Keeper of Realms Modern woman and Ancient one ALL connected by the blood of ancestors and woman’s shared experience through millennia I am all these things and more and I will NOT apologize for the scars and wounds that brought me to this place This NOW of owning it all regardless of the opinions of others or the stakes of a society that would see me in chains or even dead I will not apologize for the strength found and the wisdom honed through rituals, studies, teachings and inner world knowings I will not apologize for standing strong in the face of untenable atrocities I am a Sovereign Being Walking this Earth as Woman Again and again and again Through all the Timelines and Lifetimes after Lifetimes Feral Wild and Free I Bow To Me... _____________________________________ I Bow To Me, ©Arlene Bailey Love and Light, Michelle Price
