We are priestesses of the new world. We listen to the rhythm of the heart. We sound and sing.
We cry.
We unite in common defense of each other.
We turn to the powers of the four elements,
That they fill us with energy for the liberation of our country and our society. We formulate the future we want to live in.
Even if it doesn't come true anytime soon,
We form the intention and with our ritual we release it into the world.
We dance.
We breathe.
We are with you.
We burn.
We give.
We are tenderness.
We cry.
