Witch Faith
by Rev. Raven Goldenseal
Age Group: Adult
You were supposed to kill the loneliness
The despair, gloom, and emptiness
You were supposed to love unconditionally
Not with mass worship or ritualistic facsimile
You were supposed to teach deep wisdom
Respect, faithfulness, and spiritual freedom
Instead you taught us about evil
A never present, infernal devil
You instilled in us religious intolerance
An expensive, oft bloody reverence
You taught us subservience, fear of your wrath
That yours was the only true religious path
Your scripture teaches “ (you are) love” – to trust
Yet your faithful drown, burn, and stab at us
They went on crusades of mass extermination
They threaten with witch hunts, arrest, or execution
If “you are the light and the way”
Why are deeds done in your name so dark to this day?
If my faith in the Great Goddess dooms me to hell
Then I’ll call it the Summerland to eternally dwell
You were supposed to kill the loneliness
The despair, gloom, and emptiness
You were supposed to be the light shining from above
But all you did was kill the love
