:: THE SONG OF MIROSAI AND MENESAI ::
This text in part narrates the action in the artwork Chianum ~ Fernal Ocean Garden. It tells of the two shamanic women who live in the Ocean Garden and who are avatars of the Fernal Creatrix, and how they sang the trickster Chianuia into life through their magical movement through the life phases from girlhood to womanhood and beyond into goddess-hood. The structure of this song is unusual in that it consists of songs-within-songs, which mirror in miniature the structure of the whole song as well as the 'Thirteen Songs'.
io to sai, we two blessers, bring forth Mirosai from water drops, io to sai, I, Mirosai I will shine brightly as the Moon, bring forth Menesai from blood drops, io to sai, I, Menesai I will dwell in strength behind the Moon, io to sai, we two blessers, bring forth Chianuia from our song, io to huia, I, Chianuia, I will enfold silently as the New Moon, io to xin, we three truths, |
io to sai - "Hail Blessing!" Mirosai - "Water Blessing" Mirosai is singing here Menesai - "Menstrual Blessing" Menesai is singing here Both Mirosai and Menesai Chianuia - "Ocean Trickster" Chianuia is singing here All three now sing to close |
