Friday 31 August 2012 Hymn To The All Mother

The Mexican goddess "Teteoinan", the " Mother of the Gods." She was also called "Toci", " Our Mother," and also by another name which signified "The Heart of the Earth." This last name was given to Her because She was believed to be the cause of earthquakes. She presided over the vegetable and animal world and her chief temple at Tepeyacac was one of the most renowned in ancient Mexico." HAIL TO OUR MOTHER WHO MAKES THE YELLOW FLOWERS TO BLOOM--WHO SCATTERS THE SEEDS OF THE MAGUEY AS SHE COMES FROM THE LAND DIVINE!"HAIL TO OUR MOTHER WHO CASTS FORTH WHITE FLOWERS IN ABUNDANCE!"HAIL TO OUR MOTHER WHO SHINES IN THE THORN BUSH AS A BRIGHT BUTTER-FLY!"HO! SHE IS OUR MOTHER--THE WOMAN GOD OF THE EARTH. IN THE DESERT SHE FEEDS THE WILD BEASTS, AND GIVES THEM TO LIVE."THUS--THUS YOU SEE HER EVER ABUNDANT IN GIFTS TO ALL FLESH."AND AS YOU SEE THE GODDESS OF EARTH GIVE TO THE BEASTS, SO ALSO SHE IS GIVING TO THE GREEN HERBS AND THE FISHES."HAIL TO OUR MOTHER WHO CASTS FORTH YELLOW FLOWERS TO THE SUN FROM THE LAND DIVINE!"
