We’Moon Holy Days: Seasonal Blessings
In each edition of the We’Moon datebook, we feature one Holy Day writer who shares with us her unique perspectives of each of the eight holy days. This year, we have the pleasure of sharing the work of Oak Chezar. Oak is a radical Dyke, performance artist, Women's Studies professor, psychotherapist, writer, & semi-retired barbarian. She lives in a straw bale, womyn-built house. She just published "Trespassing", a memoir about Greenham Common Womyn's Peace Camp. Whilst working & playing towards the decimation of patriarchy & industrial civilization, she carries water. oakchezar@gmail.com
Dark Moon Magic
A Prayer for Guidance Through the Darkness
Wild Woman,
push us into the cauldron,
swirling us into the darkest depths
of the earth.
Let us emerge
with mud in our hair,
snails on our feet,
and lichen on our arms.
Let owls, ravens, and starlings
fly in our wake—
wolves, cats, and snakes
follow our footsteps.
Let our spines become
as thick and strong
as the redwood.
Our power is endless.
Our strength is staggering.
Our creativity
has no boundaries.
Our possibilities are
limitless.
