Harken My Daughters
by Solitaire Archer


Harken My Daughters I bid listen to me
And as I say these Words So Mote it be

Teach her from now till time is forgot
Teach her broom and teach her ***
Teach now no reason to hide
Teach her scents and times and tides
Teach her hues and Teach her to bide

Teach her Moons and teach her flowers
Teach her herbs and to keepsafe Our bower
Teach her Air and Water and Fire
Teach her Oak and Teach her lyre
No buildings of Stone No meter high Towers
Let her Dance in the Snow and Dance in the Showers

Hark to me my Daughters dear Teach her so she has naught to fear

Show her Signs and cards and runes
Teach to her to call down the Moon
Teach her Sight and Teach her Bane
Teach her to invoke my Name
in my Place too- call down the Power
In our Circles or in our Bowers

As I have taught now you must too
Pass it forward your line ensue
Daughter to daughter your line in Light
for this moment forward as far as Sight
Witch follows Witch for eternitys Flight
Daughter to Daugther gives Power and Might

Harken My Daughters Listen me

Child go live it
So Mote It Be

These are my words, This is my way.

I haven't drank
I don't self harm anymore
I don't want to forget
I love you
I love you as high as i am
I love you in the morning while im checking my phone hoping something changed
I love you at night while i check again
I love you while i have someone else take my phone
I love you while i put all our photos in a keepsafe with a password a friend set
I love you as i try to open it and look at you
I love you while I'm going crazy
I love you when im too high and I can only focus on what is important
You

When a girl is born,
A boy they would have preferred
But, it's okay,
A girl is a Lakshmi,
Good luck and wealth will come.
She is pampered,
Her parents princess,
Well dressed, nourished and educated,
She is groomed in household chores,
Taught sewing, cooking and embroidery.
They brag about her talents and
honourable character to friends and neighbours,
With one main aim on their minds,
To get  her married as soon as possible,
To the most eligible groom.
If she argues or refuses she is the most ungrateful girl after what they have done for her,
If she says she wants to finish her studies,
No big deal, you can continue at your in-laws,
And on and on till she agrees to get married,
An Indian girl is just a keepsafe at her parents,
To be handed over to the groom,
The earlier the better.
