Charge of the
Dark Goddess
This Charge is attributed to Lynne O'Connor, the author
of Lilith's
Cave.
The Dark Goddess speaks to us, through the mouths of Lilith, Kali,
Tiamat, Hekate, Nix, the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.
I am the Darkness behind and
beneath the shadows.
I am the absence of air that
awaits at the bottom of every breath.
I am the Ending before Life
begins again,
the Decay that fertilizes the Living.
I am the Bottomless Pit, the
never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied.
I am the Key that unlocks every
Door.
I am the Glory of Discovery,
for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden.
Come to me at the Dark Moon
and see that which can not be seen,
face the terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest
oceans to the center of your greatest fears--
the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and
yours will be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure,
and I will intensify it,
Until the time when I may have
the greatest pleasure of meeting you
At the Crossroads Between the
Worlds.
