April Camlin - Invocation

Invocation

I am the stone in the murky depths

I am the root, the branch, and the crossing point

I am the dark storm cloud and the lightning flash

I am the blood of wild beasts

I am the slow steady stream that carves the canyon

I am the dawn's full moon over the holy mountain

I am the oil and the amphora

I am the taste of honey'd wine on lover's lips

I am the radiant sword of truth

I am the mare that knows no reins

I am the crone who will not wear the hood

I am the wolf mother who roams free

I am the maiden who will not be clothed

I stand in direct connection to Source

And I require validation from no external force

I have come to make the soil once again fertile

I have come to shine the light of authenticity and love into the void of monoculture

I have come to continue the work of my spiritual ancestors

I have come to model perfectly imperfect perfection

I have come to be an agent of transformation

I am on the Path and everything serves the Path

There is no force that can calm this blaze

True Liberation and Healing for all Beings

I am a Weaver of strong cloth
