i found this in the back of one of my wiccan books and thought i'd share. it's called pagan pride. i have a little bit of mixed emotions on it as yet, but for the most part i like it ^-^
In darkness you pain us, but we will not hide. We're the light of the country in which you abide, we're fearless and strong, the protectors of life hidden in shadows we conquer all strife.
We come from the Old Ones, our lineage secure. We rise from the ashes, we always endure. It's time you remembered that we were here first. We healed your sick, yet suffered your worst.
From time immemorial we've woved our lore cunning folk, healers, benandanti - there's more. We're black and we're white, we're brown and we're yellow. We're women and children, and mighty fine fellows.
We're Her hidden children, the angels of light, our task is to teach and to help set things right. We conjure and cast, and whisper and pray So you can enjoy you freedom each day.
We've long been your army, protecting your back when you are in trouble, in secret we act. The Mother is watching - She hasn't missed much. She's gathered Her magick and given the touch to Witches and Pagans and Druids and such!
The times are a` changing and one thing is clear the Lord and the Lady have now reappeared. Two pillars, three points, four quarters extend five is the number of magickal blend. By moon and by sun, by earth and by stars realise this day that the power is ours!
Pagan pride - Live it, breathe it, be it.

grrrr!!! I was getting picture frames together to put Pagan Pride on and the Rede and all that but my mom was just all on me about it!!! She completly flipped out... I mean she does that ALOT because of the divorce but geez it was very unnecessary lol. Oh, well she'll get over it soon enough I hope and I'll put 'em up!!! I'm also going to frame some of my poems and put 'em on this one lonely wall in my room lol. I might have to decorate the frames though to make 'em Native americanish or medievalish so they blend in with the rest of the room though!

Oh wow I hope it doesnt cause too many problems between you and your mom when you get those framed up... But What a cool idea! Youre giving a theme to it! That would be very nice...either native american or medievalish. (lol id go for medievalish cuz i love that type of stuff...but hmmm native american is very nice too!) Well have fun deciding...its gonna be tough lol. or maybe just do some of both! How are you gonna get the themes done? Are you going to buy frames that already have a theme or make them yourself - if so, how?

lol I have no idea yet... too late to think. Probably just buy regular dollar store frames lol and just decorate those. Medieval would be pretty hard I think unless you just put a background behind the writing or whatever... but native american you could like add feathers and etch in little symbols lol.
