One afternoon, I got to wondering if our gods and goddesses were ever little children... and if so, what were they like as kids? Actually, thinking about that can really add to your concept of Spirit! I've been dancing with the Child Goddess ever since!

lyrics

I can hear the big folks calling
On the Goddess and the God
But as I sit here thinking,
Well, it seems a little odd
And I wonder, yes I wonder
If the deities we laud
Were ever little children,
the Goddess and the God.

Did the Lady ever snuggle
With her blankie in her shrine?
Did the Lord take out the trash
And did he ever whine?
Do you think there were ce-lest-i-al
Corners to spend time?
Oh were they ever children,
The folks we call divine?

When the holy ones were small,
Did they pull off any pranks
To threaten little spanks?
And when they settled down to nap
Did the universe give thanks?
Who would fondly watch them grow
Among the godly ranks?

Now, living in a grown up world
can lead a heart astray
With jobs and chores and so
Im-por-tant things to do each day.
But think about the children gods
And goddesses at play
Then let your own Light giggle through
And have a Blessed day!

Then let your own Light giggle through
And have a Blessed day!

Isis and Astarte making mud pies
Hecate's hiding from Diana
Demeter's finger painting and Kali's
playing peekaboo with Inanna!
