Song of The Month:
May 2021
As you can see, this is not a comic song, but it is a set of alternative lyrics. It can be comic, if you chuckle to yourself about how outraged patriarchists of most other "formal" religions would be, to hear you singing "She" instead of "He".
Recently, I've been watching a lot of videos of lectures and discussions by Terence McKenna. I've been very pleased to hear him frequently refer to The Goddess . Haven't heard him say a thing about "the god". I don't know if his sense of Her is the same as mine, but it seems to have emerged from the same place. My life acquired meaning as a result of my psychedelic experiences. I didn't manage to have nearly as many or as profound as McKenna's obviously were. But clearly, any psychedelic experience will set you on a very different path than the one the "straight" world had mapped out for you. So, please sing part or all of these verses with heartfelt enthusiasm. And think of Lady Daniu, the Great Mother Goddess, who is a fun Being to be around, in all of my "Elfin Scots" novels.
SHE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
Alternative, Pagan, Goddess-centric words:
by Patricia A. Leslie
Tune: He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands (trad. African American spiritual)
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the whole world
In Her hands
Other, additional verses, which I hope covers most of what may be on anyone's mind, who happens upon them.
She’s got the Pagans and the Witches
She’s got the joyous songbirds
She’s got the hardworking bees
She’s got the threatened and endangered
She’s got the hunters and the hunted
She’s got the tiny clover blossom
She’s got the tallest redwood
She’s got the corn and the wheat
She’s got vast cloudless skies
She’s got the winds from ev’ry quarter
She’s got the fury of the whirlwind
She’s got the spark that lights the fire
She’s got coruscating rainbows
She’s got torrential downpours
She’s got the currents of the oceans
She’s got mountain building powers
She’s got tectonic movements
She’s got ev’ry ecosystem
She’s got ev’ry kind of being
She’s got the circle of the seasons
She’s got the cycle of rebirth
She’s got the code of DNA
She’s got the motions of the planets
She’s got the universe’s spiral
