A Song for the Witches

wisewomen healers who were burned at the stake-
you who were stoned and tortured-
I mourn your fate-
witches, my sisters, millions through the years-
patriarchal fires be drowned with my tears.

through the full moon that shines on me as it did on you-
through the lunar cycles you watched as I do-
pass me your power and courage tonight-
to fight the oppressions you fought long ago.
pass me your power and knowledge to heal-
to heal all the people as you did long ago.

wisewomen healers who were burned at the stake-
you who were stoned and tortured-
I mourn your fate-
