Ishtar, Mistress of the Night
we honor you; dancing in silver’s
moonlight, your beauty wrapped within
dark mysteries as you speak
of wisdom drawn from Earth’s
deepest secrets, gazing
down from above; upon your
star-studded throne
the quarters of love
reside beneath your rule
patroness of young women
protectress of the heart
as the moon rotates always [...]

I find the work of Sir Edward Burne Jones to be very spiritual and he touches upon a lot of pagan themese. His work really speaks to me.

Lilith’s Temptation of Eve
Clad only in her naivety
sat the one Falsely Named
within her paradise
troubled not by thoughts
of the world
When there came to her
the one who should most disdain
slithering in the shadows
“I envy you not”
the voice rang true
“You are but a child
wearing the skin of a woman”
Startled from her reflections

She is the Mother of Mystery
the Lady of Power, love [...]

Flower Feather
Sweet Xochiqutzal
Maiden waiting within the moon
until she may step down to the earth
where flowers bloom beneath her toes
butterfly kisses upon her fingertips
Dark beauty of the night

chassed by meadowlarks
only feathers adorn her
From her loins springs the joys
of the earth, her delight full of
gentle innocence while her body
sways against the wind
Scented [...]
