Oh Great Goddess of All That Is
She who is the all-encompassing creator who birthed Herself
    and all the universe
She who all life comes from and will return to

Oh Great Goddess
Who in Your most ancient form, Herself the Earth Mother
The Earth Mother worshipped as the land itself
    and all its manifestations
The Earth Mother of all organic wholeness in nature,
    from which all life arises

Oh Great Goddess
Who gave birth to the 5 elements
     Air as our breath that permeates all
     Fire as our love that consumes all
     Earth as our body that embraces all
     Water as our blood that connects all
     Spirit as our guide who leads all

Oh Great Goddess
She who is the rhythm of nature
She who is the nurturing power that sustains all creation
    in Her web of wisdom
Her web of wisdom that is the cauldron of all life

Oh Great Goddess
She who embodies the three stages of the feminine divine -
The Triple Goddess
    As the blossoming, life-giving Virgin -
        She who bleeds the primordial blood of life
    As the nurturing, fruit-bearing Mother -
        She who births the ultimate gift of life
    As the wise but death-bringing Crone -
        She who sages into the final wisdom filled stage of life...

Oh Great Goddess
She who is the Great Mystery
She who is symbol of unity, holding the secrets of
    birth, death and regeneration
She who is the Great Goddess of many names

So in honor of You, our Great Goddess
We will all walk Your labyrinthine pathway

We will let Your love completely surround us
We will let Your divine feminine energy completely surround us
We will adorn Your cave with paintings
We will all sing and dance for You
We will all give thanks and praise for Your gift of life to all
We will all give thanks and praise for Your gift, the earth
The glorious green earth
The ultimate gift of our Great Goddess of All That Is
