Winter Solstice Invocation

Holy and blessed Mother,
who brings forth the sun
in the passion
of sacred orgasm

May all children born of you
and of us
know the fullness of
their sexuality
and feel
the pleasure
of your love

May all children born of you
and of us
know the freedom
of their body’s gifts
and bear
the banner
of Earth’s bounty

May all children born of you
and of us
know the promise of
their own potential
and share
responsibility for
each other’s good.

Holy and blessed Mother,
who brings forth the sun
in the passion
of sacred orgasm,
may we, your children,
share the gift of peace
that follows worldly accomplishment
and fulfillment of our soul’s desire.
