Mary Of Egypt

                                    MARY OF EGYPT

 

                                    Tawny, parched, with matted hair,

                                    This is Mary the desert lion

                                    Stretching her bones across a rock.

 

                                    Our Mother Isis says to her

                                    "I too am Mary.  Christ was my son."

This was written 15 years ago. It sort of relates to the last post

Wow. I love this poem.

I'm an ex-Catholic, and I now work with Isis a lot. I've always experienced her as having the same basic pattern of energies as Mary. Glad I'm not the only one.

I wrote this around the time I was moving from Christianity into Paganism- and making the connections.
