DARK GODDESS
By Amanda A. Leonard




Black Candles ,Heavy Incense.
Black dress for a mourning rite.
Dark...
....So dark before Dawn.
The Bones of Many Snap Beneath my Feet
The sweet smoky essence of Death
Surrounds my head like an adorning crown.
Inhale deeply.....
Fragrance so alluringly pungent
it sickens me
I embrace it.
I am one with all .
I am both Creator and Destroyer
Beginning
End
Beginning again.
Like the circle
unending

I face my shadow, my dark reflection.
I absorb all the power it offers.
With acceptance,reverence,and anticipation ,
I allow the melding of spirits to transpire.
Dark and Powerful .
My immunity to false realities created
claiming hope for things achieved
at the end of this pointless game.
Lies and deception.
Vision is reality
my quest is mine alone.
My rules,
are the rules I myself have chosen.
My fears
Are only the fears I have decided to entertain
In this space of transition
The light and dark are neither.
Only what I may accept
that they may be.
For I will not limit my power.
Slavery
I will accept no ones rules but my own.
For the rules are mine alone.
For this is my game and
always has been since the
Beginning
The end
The Beginning
I AM DARK GODDESS

The Charge of the Goddess for Children
by Amanda Leonard

Once every month when the moon is big and full in the sky,
You and all your family should get together and ask the Goddess for
what you need.
You should listen to and make music,
You should shout and sing and clap,
Dance and twirl and skip,
Eat and drink and Laugh.
This is how you honor me.
Your happiness is your gift to me.
Always try to do everything with love in your heart.
Dont be mean or cruel to people or any living thing
Do not harm or hurt them on purpose.
Never stop learning new things.
Always believe that anything you dream is a possibility
And do not let anyone tell you the way you it is wrong to think or
believe the way you do.
I am the spirit of life inside you and I will live forever.
Someday when your body dies we will come together as one again .
And you will also be one with all of those you love that are with me.
I will give you all you need in this life and I love you dearly.
You will never have to give me anything in return for this love
Or do anything for it.
Take from me whatever you need.
You can enjoy my beauty in everything
I am in the earth and the air and the water.
I am the fire that gives you fight and courage.
When you need strength call out for me and I will be there.
Wherever you are, I am always with you.
Always remember I have been with you since the begining and will be
there until the end.

And I will be there when all begins again.



So speaks the Goddess.

I am A Witch
by Amanda Leonard


First of all I proudly claim my identity as a Witch with no hesitation.
It is who I am , one of the most powerful parts of who I am.
It is the Goddess in me.
It is the healer and the teacher,
It is the old wise womyn and the young beautiful maiden.
It is the nurturing Mother,
A protector and a fighter.
It is my vision, my quest, my path, and my purpose.
It is my highest fulfillment.
I am a Proud Witch.
Not only am I proud witch, but also a proud Womon, I am a proud, determined, strong
and passionate Lesbian Witch,
A womon who loves womyn.
A womon that appreciates the beauty she sees in all womyn,
Yes I am a fearless, in your face, loud, proud, lesbian witch In a man's world.
I am also a psychic , I have been since I was young.
I would have dreams of being a witch........ along ago in a far away place.
I could distantly recall the shelves in my cottage filled with herbal tinctures and majikal
concoctions
I could so easily imagine the sensation of the cool dirt floors on my feet
The aroma of lavendar and sage could send me into a day dream of my garden boxes
Of herbs, and the soaps, and salves I would make from them.
I could sense my closeness to all living things and I swear mother earth would call out
to me and I would often crave the feel of digging with bare hands deep into her cool
moist soil.
For reasons I couldnt explain my mind held information about majik and things which I
had never studied
I knew majikal chants from off the top of my head....
and I would hum tunes I knew well but couldnt recall why that was.
I sometimes before I would fall asleep for the night, the strangely familiar celtic
melodies of an ancient past would set the stage for a regression to a lifetime once
lived.

Yes I am a Womon, a Proud Witch and I have lived that life many times.
For reasons I am constantly reminded of, I have once again chosen this life as a
Womon,
a Witch,
a Healer,
a Teacher
a Mother and a Child,
a Sister and a Friend,
a Protector and a Spellcaster,
a Conjurer and a Hexer,
a Reader and a Psychic,
a Medium and a Channel,
an Energy mover and a Shapeshifter,
a Shaman and a Sage,
an Exorcist and a Creator
A Priestess and a Goddess.
It is My rite to claim this to be so.
It is my wish to use my power to the highest good of all.
It is my vow to harm none which are innocent.
It is My desire to excell in all aspects of Majik and the craft and to never end my
study of majik and manifestation.
It is my destiny to live and die in this life as a Witch
And maybe the next ... and the next.... and the next.....
I am a proud Witch.
My strength Lies within this fact.

Mother Goddess

I ravage your beauty like
food to my starving soul.
and you judge me not for
it,
but only offer more of
yourself to me.

I reach out for you when
I am in pain , and your
earth opens up to catch
my tears.

The scent of my fear is in
the air,
and your whispy breath
assures me you are with
me.

I feel waves of passion and
power
and I know the fire that
burns within me is of you.

[Stoney]

One time I thought
you were walking
beside me.

And I felt motivated
to walk faster

But you had actually
passed me by without
noticing I was there

One time I thought I
heard your laughter

And I thought I
brought you joy

But I realized later I
was the joke you
were laughing about.

One time I thought I
heard you crying

And I hurt myself
trying to comfort you

but you looked at me
with disgust.

One time I thought
you were listening to
me

And I told you a secret

But you used it to
judge me

One time I thought
you were my friend

And I told you I cared
about you

but you said we were
complete strangers…

then you spit in my
face

One time I thought...

This Game

This Game
Those who conquer, covet and take us
Those who murder, enslave and break us,
Those who rape the earth For Power,
Then plan our fate from ivory towers.
Those in office , those with Fame,
They do this shit in Jesus' Name.
(ha, right)
They bribe your kids to fight their war .
Its easiest done, they have kept them Poor.
We arent any safer , not one little bit.
Biggest terror threat ever, just feeding us shit!
They bind us and scare us until all concede.
Steal from us freedom to satisfy greed.
They poison our air with their chemical gasses
Poison our bodies with fast food by the masses
Cures for disease we will not reap
Only if their profit is steep.
Remember we are only pieces in the game
known only by number, who cares whats your name.
The thing that just erks me,twisted up in this rink
Is the god damned TV can control how we think!!!!!!
But we just sit here watching and waiting for more
and they ALL fuckin' lie ,then it's worse than before.
the best we can hope for and the help we can find
is to create peace and harmony within your own mind.




This is a poem I wrote not to long ago when I was thinking about how our government and other world leaders control us.
It infuriates me. There are so many things put out there on this planet to do nothing more than keep us ignorant, sedated and obedient.

It is just sick
