This isn't mine... I found it off a belly dance site from a dancer who incorporates this artform into goddess worship so here goes.. I really like it.
I dance in memory of ancient mystery,
Of a rich golden land and a warm brown river,
Where the sky is an arc of lapis lazuli,
And the date palms shimmer verdant in the incandescent sun.
When I dance,
I am a priestess of Isis, Lady of the Sea.
Isis Amenti, the Hidden One.
Wrapped in foam and mist,
Undulating, incubating, inundating,
Flowing through tides and currents,
Swirling iridescent against the sky.
When I dance,I am a priestess of Isis, Lady of Flame,
And Her light glows in my body
.I open like the lotus,
Like a snake,
like a hawk,
Protected by the Ankh.
The Eye of Horus awakens my vision.
Isis, Embracer of the Land, Jewel of the Wind
-My dance is gift and sacrifice, honor and burden, Service and ceremony.
She has been ignored, but She is not unknown.She has been forgotten, but She has not faded.
Her whispers echo in the veil of night,
And Her magick still sparks the waters.
She rises luminous, in peace and beauty.
She is the prophecy of sorcery.
She is the Voice of the Cobra.
Hear Her now!
