I honour the directions,
East, South, West and North.
I call upon the elements,
Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Aether.
I acknowledge and respect
All those who came before me,
both my own ancestors,
and the Traditional Custodians
Of the lands and waters I now call home.
Always was, and always will be
Aboriginal land.
I begin this journey
With intention.
For reconnection to spirit, I pray.
There has been too much destruction,
Too much greed and corruption.
The sacred is being desecrated,
And it continues to this day.
I feel the deep hurt
Of Pachamama,
And I’m here to take a stand.
I will not be complicit.
I shall not stay idle,
Until there is equity and justice
For ALL across this land.
And so, I will create noise.
I will exercise my voice,
Demand better, demand fair.
Until the waters flow clean,
And the air does not choke,
Until the genocide ceases
And First Nations healing can begin.
I will continue to seek change,
And with hope, I will share.
I stand for the ancients,
Who deserve all respect,
And by whom I am led.
My alliance is with mother,
And her precious gift of life.
My power stems from Shakti,
With fierce fire in my heart,
And like all creation, I am sacred.
