LETTER TO THE MAIDEN by Wind Dancer

Daughter:

You are the Maiden aspect of me. Your boundless energy and wonder
radiate through the newness of the love that abounds through the
Universe.

Go forth, My Daughter, Myself. Run with the Wolves. Speak to the
Deer. Listen to the Hawk and Eagle. Rejoice in the Sunrise. Behold
the magnificence of the Mountains and the Trees. Marvel at the ever
joined Circle of Life.

Show your brothers and sister the way to new ideas, new spirits, new
love.

As you experience new things, walk with your head held high, your
laughter strong, your heart open, for you are the Daughter of my
union with the God and you are the younger version of Myself. The
responsibilities, rewards and joys of Motherhood await you, but until
then, feel the life blood flow through you, enjoy the strength of
youth and the strength of your convictions. Enjoy the passions of
life. Protect those who need you.

You are not only the Daughter of my body, but the daughter of my
spirit ... my hopes and my dreams for a better world.

I gift you the chalice as the Crone gifts you the cauldron. They
shall be yours in the fullness of time.

Feel the wisdom and the protection of the Crone. She is your
birthright, because before I could gift you life, she gifted me with
life, and the connection continues endlessly and cyclicly through
time and space, as it has since I conceived the Universe.

Within you, you have memory of the wisdom of the Crone, just as the
Crone has a memory of the Maiden still within.

Daughter, honor thy friends, thy sisters, thy brothers, thy family,
thy neighbors and thy teachers. I have blessed you and, in return,
you have blessed me, and you shall take my blessings out into the
world, and they shall know love. I command them to honor you in
return, for you are Divine, and a bit of you resides in each one of them.

As the young Sun God chases you through the early morning sky, flirt
and enjoy his warmth, for he is your consort and your betrothed.

Most of all, know that I love you.

Blessings to you, my Daughter.

Mother
