    Tamara Rendell
    “Body of Earth, body of woman
    call unto the stars
    Carry –
    as the river which carries the touch of the forest
    – carry Earth unto sky
    Enliven within my body of woman
    union with Earth, union with sky
    I am daughter of stars
    a clear river of light
    My soul, it is flowing
    unto body of woman,
    body of Earth woven with light”
    Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Witch Queen
