Blessed Be

[diva of reality]

This is something which sprang from my Wiccan roots

Blessed be
For we are three
Embracing the light
Giving not taking
Sharing not keeping
Rejoicing in our intricate differences
Celebrating our infinite similarities

Hecate, Isis, Ceridwenn
Sorceress, bringer of life, creative inspiration
Metaphysical, Romantic, Real
Maiden, Mother, Goddess

Strong in Soul, Heart and Mind
Apart we are potent
Together we are all that has been, all that can be
And all that will be

Hi Tracey. I like the way this is put together and, no doubt, it holds much feeling for those who are familiar with your beliefs. As I'm not familiar with them it lacks descriptive content that I've enjoyed in your other poems such as "High Heels".
Sorry to be a Pagan party pooper.

Cerridwen, eater of Gwion, mother of Taliesin! The White Goddess in her sow aspect.

It reads like a hymn to the Triple Goddess, which I suppose it is. Mythology has been an interest of mine for many years, so I can appreciate the meaning here. However, it is a bit of specialist theme which will not appeal to, or reach some readers. Unfortunately mythology has become a much neglected subject over the last thirty or so years, even though it contains a wealth of insight into the human psyche which is as valid today as it ever was.

Anyway, I liked the poem.

Hello there, I like the useage of mythology here in your poem. Literature and language would be nowhere without it and I'm glad to see somebody else who uses mythology as well as myself. As regards the poem, I do feel almost harsh in saying so as it is beautifully crafted, but it seems to be a bit 'listy'. Possibly run a few things together for a more sentence like approach.....maybe that's just my technique talking as I am one for tales in poetry which have to have sentences more. But like it definitely!

HI Diva

ditto the previous comments, I think with a little recrafting it can flow better and be less listy. only a suggestion, but does this help?

Blessed be
For we are three;
Light embracing,
Sharing not keeping,
Giving not taking.
Rejoicing in differences intricate
We celebrate similarities infinite.
