Earthprayer, Birthprayer, Lifeprayer, Womanprayer

Bag om Earthprayer, Birthprayer, Lifeprayer, Womanprayer

In the woods behind my house rest a collection of nine large flat rocks. Daily, I walk down to these priestess rocks for some sacred time alone to pray, meditate, consider, and be. Often, while in this space, I open my mouth and poetry comes out. I've come to see this experience as "theapoetics"-experiencing the Goddess through direct revelation, framed in language. As Stanley Hopper originally described in the 1970's, it is possible to "...replace theology, the rationalistic interpretation of belief, with theopoetics, finding God[dess] through poetry and fiction, which neither wither before modern science nor conflict with the complexity of what we know now to be the self." Theapoetics might also be described, "as a means of engaging language and perception in such a way that one enters into a radical relation with the divine, the other, and the creation in which all occurs."Earthprayer, Birthprayer, Lifeprayer, Womanprayer is a book earth-based poetry containing four thematic sections all rooted in connection to the land and to the cycles of life. This poetry collection is one of the results of a committed, devotional, year-long "woodspriestess" practice. I maintained this practice throughout 2013, eventually spending approximately 330 days that year in the same place in the woods listening to what they had to tell me about life, myself, and the Earth.This is a perfect collection for readings for women's circles and ceremonies!
