The Web

You formed a web to capture me.

It glimmered in the moonlight.

The rain made it look like silver


You called me to the web.

You filled it with visions of love.

You made it strong to hold me with your words.


I came willingly as a butterfly to the spider

I came willingly due to words.

I came willingly to the sound of your voice, which was so sweet.


You captured me in your web of lies and deceit.

You thought that I would become your captive.

You thought you could play with me as the spider does to the butterfly.


You forgot that I am not alone.

You forgot that I am a daughter of the Goddess.

You forgot that I am a witch.


My Sisters came for me with silver scissors to cut me free from your web.

My Sisters came with fire from their cauldrons to burn this web of lies and betrayal.

My Sisters came with their love and light to destroy all that you have.


They came with the their Light and their Power.

They came and destroyed your web of darkness.

We are Witches and protect our own…

A Good Night

The Moon is full.
The sky is clear.
The winds are calm.

I gathered my words.
I gathered my deeds.
I gathered my herbs

My fire rises under the cauldron.
My words have been written
My time is tonite.

I stand before the Goddess.
I stand before my Sister.
I stand naked under the moon

I add my words to the cauldron.
I add my herbs to the cauldron.
I add my power to the night

I feel the magick
I feel my power
I feel the Goddess

She stand with me
She Blesses me
She keeps me safe

There is magick in the air.
There is magick on the wind
There is magick from the earth.

It is a good nite for magick.
It is good nite for a spell
It is a good nite for a blessing

As a Witch I stand and release my work to the winds
As a Witch I stand and release my blessings to the winds
As a Witch I stand and release my power to the winds

I am done and the work is good...

You Promised

I hear your words late at night in the dark of my room

You promised me you would protect me from all
You promised me you always protect me and keep me safe
You promised me you would protect me from Summerland.

You promised you would care for me.
You promised you would love me.
You promised you would comfort me amd hold me in your arms.
You promised I could trust you

You would wipe my tears away
You would make me smile.
You would show me joy.
You would join me forever.


I gave you my love.
I gave you my joy.
I gave you my heart.
I gave you my soul.

You took my love
You took my joy
You took my heart.
You took my soul.
You took my trust.

I was alone.

Then the whispers came.
They came from the Goddess.
They came from my Sisters
They came on the Wind
They came from the Fire of my cauldron.
They came as the Rain fell.
They came as I stood naked on the Earth

They whisper to me.

My daughter you are loved.
My sister you are loved.
My daugter you are safe.
My sister you are safe.
My daughter I am here.
My sister we are here.

I walked from the dark and found the light.
I walked from the dark and found my Sisters
I walked from the dark and found a Mothers love.
I walked from the dark and found me...for I am Witch and that can not be taken from me now or ever.

My power is who I am ....

I Am

I am more than anyone expects.

I am more than what the world sees

I am more than what I show you.

I am more than what I can be

I am more than a women.

I am a daughter of the Goddess and what I am is yet to be seen.
