Thus spoke She who is the guardian of the heart

The speaker of the words of life, Singer of the Earth and Time

Dancer of wholeness, She who weaves the breath of life.

As My priestess, you are charged with the care of hearts and the guardianship of life roads.

To you I give the gift of a steady foot, to walk the path of life with those who ask you to accompany them.

I give thee the gift of legs strong enough for the journey

And the wisdom to know when to sit down and talk with your fellow journey takers.

To know when to halt and reconsider another way.

I give to you the gift of a sturdy back for bearing your own burdens.

And for sharing the load of others for two can carry together what one can not bear.

I give you keen senses to be aware of the dangers

And the opportunities that arise on life's road to look, listen, smell and touch them for yourself

And for others who trust you to walk their path with them/

I give you a sharp mind and a soft heart.

And a mouth that only opens to give good counsel.

Not to insist, manipulate or condemn those who seek your word.

Finally, I give you ears and a heart that will listen ten times more than your mouth will speak

With all these gifts I have given you, oh counselor, I ask only that you use them wisely with compassion and understanding
