#belisama

There's two for me, for different reasons.

Belisama, the Gaulic-Celtic goddess of fire, lakes, rivers, and crafts. There is not a lot of historical references to her worship as not much of the Gaulic traditions survived, similar to the other Celtic deities. The Roman sources equate her to Minerva, and she rules over the River Ribble in the UK.

Voici un hymne druidique à la gloire de Belisama, Déesse liée à la Lune et qui régente les cycles. Louée soit sa puissance et sa grandeur divine, elle qui est célébrée à chaque phase de la lune et à chaque fête sacerdotale !

Hymne à Belisama

Belisama, noble Reine des cieux,

Œil de la Déesse, regard radieux,

Belisama, noble Dame dans la nuit,

Astre subtil, regard qui pétrifie.

Croissant d’argent qui s’élève,

Lune qui fait monter la sève,

Croissant d’or qui s’enfuit,

Lune qui emporte sans un bruit.

Lune blanche en majesté,

Illumine le ciel étoilé,

Lune noire dans le secret,

Régit les enjeux discrets.

Reçois de nos mains ces présents,

Reçois de nos ventres ces enfants,

Reçois de nos nuits ces rêves,

Reçois de nos vies ces trêves.

Rythme nos jours, rythme nos nuits,

Rythme les flux sacrés de la vie,

Eaux vertes, eaux rouges,

Eau qui dort, eau qui bouge.

Rythme nos fêtes, rythme nos rites,

Rythme les temps dédiés aux dieux,

Aux esprits, aux Autres, aux aïeux,

Aux souvenirs de ce qui s’effrite.

Berce nos eaux,

Dévore nos os.

Chante le temps,

Chante l’instant.

Brille, féroce !

Luis, douce noce !

Dans ton sillage,

S’égare l’âge !

Brille, aimante !

Luis, sanglante !

Dans tes voiles,

S’étend l’étoile !

Belisama, Belisami, Belisame,

Belisema, Belisoma, Belissima…

Hymn to the Goddess Belisama

Belisama, noble Queen of Heaven,

Eye of the Goddess, radiant gaze,

Belisama, noble lady in the night,

Subtle star, gaze that petrifies.

Silver crescent rising,

Moon that makes the sap rise,

Fleeing golden crescent,

Moon that sweeps away without a sound.

White moon in majesty,

Light up the starry sky,

black moon in secret,

Governs discrete issues.

Receive these gifts from our hands,

Receive these children from our wombs,

Receive these dreams from our nights,

Receive these truces from our lives.

Rhythm our days, rhythm our nights,

Rhythm the sacred flows of life,

Green waters, red waters,

Sleeping water, moving water.

Rhythm our celebrations, rhythm our rites,

Rhythm the times dedicated to the gods,

To spirits, to Others, to ancestors,

To the memories of what crumbles.

Cradle our waters,

Eat our bones.

sing the time,

Sing the moment.

Shine, fierce!

Luis, sweet wedding!

In your wake

Age goes astray!

Shine, loving!

Luis, bloody!

In your sails,

Extends the star!

Belisama, Belisami, Belisame,

Belisema, Belisoma, Belissima…
