A Dianic Creation Story
(by Morgan McFarland)

In the infinite moment before all time
the Goddess arose from chaos
and gave birth to Herself.
This was before anything else had been
born... not even Herself.
And when She separated the skies from
the waters
She danced upon them.
As She danced, so did Her ecstasy
increase.
In Her ecstasy She created everything
that is.
Her movements made the wind and the
element Air was born and did breathe.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Arianrhod, Cardea, Astarte
And sparks were struck from Her dancing
feet so that She shone forth as the Sun,
and the stars were caught in Her hair.
Comets raced about Her,
and the element Fire was born.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Sunna, Vesta, Pelé
About her feet swirled the waters in tidal
wave and river,
and flowing stream.
The element Water did move.
And She named Herself:
Binah, Mari, Morgaine, Lakshmi
And She sought to rest her feet from their
dance, and She brought forth the Earth so
that the shores were Her footstool, the
fertile lands Her womb, the mountains Her
full breasts, and Her streaming hair the
growing things.
And the Goddess named Herself:
Cerridwen, Demeter, the Corn Mother
She saw that which was and is and will be,
born of Her sacred dance and cosmic
delight,
and infinite joy.
She laughed, and the Goddess created
Woman in Her own image,
to be the Priestess of the Great Mother.
From Her Elements; Earth, Air, Fire and
Water,
the Goddess created for Herself a
Consort-
for love, pleasure, companionship and
sharing.
The Goddess then spoke to Her
daughters, saying:
"I am the Moon to light your path and to
speak to your rhythms.
I am the Dancer and the Dance.
I whirl without motion.
I am the Sun who gives you warmth in
which to stretch and grow.
I am All that will Be.
I am the Wind to blow at your call and the
sparkling Waters that offer joy.
I am the Fire of the Dance of Life,
and I am the Earth beneath your dancing
feet.
I give to all my priestesses three aspects
that are Mine:
I am Artemis, the Maiden of the Animals,
the Virgin of the Hunt.
I am Isis, the Great Mother.
I am Ngame, the Ancient One who winds
the shroud.
I shall be called a million names.
Call unto me, daughters, and know that I
am Nemesis."
We are Virgins, Mothers, Old Ones- All.
We offer our created energy:
to the Spirit of Women Past,
to the Spirit of Women yet to Come,
to Woman Spirit Present and Growing.
Behold, we move forward together
