Dark Mother draw me down into the deepest recesses of your belly
Deep under the crusty layer of the earth (sweet Mitti Attar)
Deep under the rocks and stones (frankincense and myrrh tears)
Deeper even than the permafrost
Deeper than the underground rivers and lakes (the water we use to distill our plants to release their fragrant oils)
Deeper than the caverns under your mountains (hold crystals that energize us from below)
Dark Mother show me the way to where the light is not
And the colors are illusions in front of my eyes
Dark Sister why do I meet you down in the dark with eyes so red (fire smoke and tanning leather)
Is it to hide from your pain?
Do you think the dark will ease your sorrow
And renew your soul?
Why are you here sweet sister (sweet spices nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon)
Dear, sweet Sister, let us go deeper still into the fire of the great Mother
Into the fiery core of the earth herself
Where both of our sorrows will be burned to cinders (fueled by fragrant woods of cedar and sandal)
And our tears will turn to dancing diamond sparks (fiery ambroxan aroma crystals)
This Winter Solstice little Sister
Let us hold hands
And renew together
The dark is strange when you are alone
We should sing a little song to help us find the thread of light
That leads us both back to the sun
Be sad no more big Sister
Do you not see the light at the end of the tunnel of darkness?
This is the shortest night
And from now on things can only get better
Little sister you were a baby in my arms
Big sister you were there to hold my hand and guide me
Together
In love
In companionship
Let us walk
Hand in hand
Toward the light in a fragrant cloud of sweet perfume…
