Triple Goddess Path Poem by Janet K. Rauch

I am Janet
In Wiccan circles, I am known as Luna Muse
I stand before the Triple Goddess
Maiden, Mother and Crone
My spiritual path has led me on a wild journey,
rich with womanly wisdom, I’m committed to share

I stand at the center of the Great Universe
And honor the Sacred Feminine…

I am Maiden, crescent moon grinning with her blessing
Menarche brought my first taste of womanhood
Sporadic trickles of bright red blood from blond fringe
tickling my inner thighs, awakening my Virgin Goddess
Budding breasts that magically transformed my girl body
A longing to be all grown up, impatient with any hint of lingering child

I am Mother, full moon smiling with her blessing
Motherhood found me strong and able
The bleeding stopped, my libido grew
Nurturing myself and my growing baby
Oiling the threshold framed with light brown tresses
Preparing the slippery ride from a womb as full as the moon
Two babies I birthed, two I fell in love with at first glance
Breasts full of milk, flowing sweetly from chocolate brown nipples
Longing to stay in this moment for a very long time

I am crone, dark moon laughing with her blessing
I am the midwife of my own croning
No crimson flow from my grey blond tuft
I feel a nudge from the Great Mother Goddess
To renew my vows – to honor the Sacred Feminine once again
Become one with my inspiration, creativity and wisdom
All that has made me a woman – all that will bring me joy.
I hope to be here for as long as it feels this good.

So Mote It be!
