Dear women who have made the pilgrimage
To far off lands to seek Her mystery
And teach yourselves your own sweet heritage,
And meet Her, new found, with Her your life engage
In temples, caves, and ancient masonry
Dear women who have made the pilgrimage
Who seek to understand the old language
Wiped from our souls with such ferocity
But never lost , and now bright upon the page
As banners fly with Her immense image
On hill and tower, they shake triumphantly-
Dear women who have made the pilgrimage
Dance sing and shout for joy, regain the stage
For women everywhere in slavery
Help them find Her in all their righteous rage.
Bless all who work to build the Goddess Age
Who mark the path of our own life’s journey,
Dear women who have made the pilgrimage
To far off lands to seek Her mystery.
