Fire that Creates, the Fire that Destroys, the fire that watches

Acknowledging Country – DjaDja Wurrung

Dedicated to the people and country of the Dja Dja Wurrung
Written at EarthSong Witchcamp, Victoria Australia

We pay our respects
To the Dja Dja Wurrung
And to their land
We are standing upon
Pay respect to their Elders
Past, present and emerging
And to any other Elder here
It may be concerning

This was and always will be
Aboriginal Land
Sovereignty was never ceded
This is stolen land
So as we stand here together
To practice our Art
We acknowledge this Country
Has a Dja Dja Wurrung heart

About the song as a ritual piece

These songs, poems, and reflections offer an insight to who I am and are my autobiography. I am a poet, a song writer, a witch. I dance my Wyrd in my practice; in how I choose to live; in who I share my moments with. My heart is black, white, grey and purple like the stone beneath my feet, the bones of Grandfather Green. My eyes contain her Stars and her deep dark well as I straddle the hedge and listen to the winds. My form is the tree that connects all realms, clothed in holly and oak. I am Stoneacorn
