Who are you, shabby man,
To make fun
of My Moon-feathers and My Owl-feet?
The midwives told us that the owl is the symbol of the midwife.
the nightbird of death-omen,
the winged air-demoness
are male political projections onto the midwife,
jealous, they pluck at Her Feathers and call Her names
the owl, for example, was previously associated with the midwife goddess
the fore-seeing, the Goddess and Her Owl
are not only learning, intelligence, wisdom,
but also Prophecy.
I am an Owl in the house.
She is naked, with an Owl's feet and wings.
Standing on the backs of two Lions, She is accompanied by
two large Owls;
She holds a looped umbilical cord in each hand,
Her Power of both Life and Death,
the open birth-canal
or the strangling cord around a baby's neck...
Who are you, grubby man,
to blame Me and My Sacred Moonlight
for your pissant wet-dreams?
You fuck sheep and your own daughters.
Who are you to Me? Who?
Owls are linked with witchcraft and the pollution of menstruation...
Linked by who ? Who?
Owls were also linked with lightning and drums,
which pierce the ceremonial darkness.
Owl-bones were buried with the dead
for as Owl-eyes could fathom night,
So would the magick of the Owl-Mother
help souls find their way to Her for rebirth
out of the black tomb.
The Owl is the bird of the shaman, owl feathers are worn as
protective amulets against harmful spirits
an owl perches on the shoulder of the old woman,
calling to mind the hallowed wisdom of nature
Old Midwives know the herbs. They know how to bring blood
or stop it. They help women to conceive or to abort
We are talking about female sexual autonomy here
a woman's right to have as many sexual partners as she wants
without any of that ‘sleeping around is for misguided sluts’ shit thrown in her face.
Who are you, stingy man,
Who are you, stupid man,
to deny My Fire,
to shame your sisters for their heat?
There are brief encounters that affirm our humanity,
and long-term exclusive relationships that choke the life out of us
Who are you, fickle man,
How will you party when the old witch-woman
finds out where you tossed that condom
and drives a rusty nail through it?
Who will help you then?
Who?
Who?
The King's Midwife was a powerful woman
who knew how to deal with powerful men on an equal footing.
Owls are associated with the Eternal Waters and are said to guard
the Fountain of Life.
Lilith refused to lie on Her back for Adam,
and She basically told Yahweh to get stuffed.
Owls perch in the Tree of Life. They stand for the power to see
the invisible.
Wearing the names of angels around your neck
will not help you
when I am pissed off enough to come after you.
Who are you, little man,
Who are you in the dark, when no one is looking?
I am the wisdom of the Stars and of the Old Ways, but
who are you?
Who?
Who?
Who?
