Happy Earth Day!
May you sit in praise of our Mother today. May you touch fur, leaves, petals, soil and stream. May you embrace a tree elder. May you breathe in bergamot, wild thyme and pine. May every season be lovely and may you rejoice in your blessed portion!
The Orphic Hymn for Gaia
Divine Gaia, mother of blessed ones
and mortal humans, nourisher of all
and the giver of everything, the nurse
of endings and destroyer of all things -
you bring forth growth in the lovely seasons
bearing fruit and full to bursting. You are
the seat of the deathless cosmos, brightly decorated maiden. You through the pangs of labor bear varieties of fruits.
Eternal, the most revered, deep chested
with a blessed portion, you rejoice in sweet
breaths of the newly sprung plants, flower-decked
daimon. You delight in rain, and around you spins the brightly wrought cosmos of stars,
in its eternally flowing nature
and awesome streams. And now holy goddess
may you swell the fruits that bring great delight.
Kind hearted, be with the blessed in season.
