Last night Evan led a Welsh Ritual and asked me to do the Omen. Another Druid recorded what I said.
Norse Earth Mother—Jörð "Yerth" or "Yourth":
Earthquake, earth cracked open; look inside
“Learn our songs, play our music, and listen”
Drumbeat, earth beat as well as heartbeat
It doesn’t matter if you are good at it, just do it. You don’t have to be a master; the point is to listen.
Mary Magdalene Card—unconditional love and patience
Play a simple heartbeat, close your eyes, listen
Practice it, let your mind go and let images come and listen
Card Dana—High Priestess, you have divine knowledge, your inner heartbeat, connecting to the heartbeat of the earth; help others with spiritual teaching—spread the knowledge'
Listen—do what the chorus of voices have said: Learn the songs, play the music, and listen. You can use anything as a drum, it doesn’t have to be fancy; wherever you are comfortable, just do it—it doesn’t have to be a drum, use whatever instrument you can—you don’t have to be an expert.

After the ritual I looked up the card, because I didn't know the Goddess and felt that I wasn't pronouncing Her name correctly:

Dana - " don-nah", whereas I said "day-nah". Celtic Goddess. In our ritual, Evan focused on the Welsh Goddess Dôn.
Gotta love it when the cards do that.

This early morning, I was woken up by Earth's heartbeat on repeat, until I got up and recorded myself playing it on my little goblet drum:
Boom is the deep voice of the drum–the middle. Bap-Bap is the higher rim voice.
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
Boom! Bap-bap
On repeat....
"Learn Our songs, hear Our heartbeat, play Our music, and LISTEN!
Learn your songs, hear your heartbeat, play your music, and LISTEN!
Learn our songs, hear our heartbeat, play our music, and LISTEN!"
This Spirit Song playing and singing over and over and over and over for a few minutes. Steady and urgent. Other drums singing in harmony. Adding in their own beats, their own songs. All of it one voice. Earth Voice. Our Voice.

Thank you Jörð and Others.
