Warrior Woman

Credits

Warrior Woman was written by Carole Crowwomyn as a call to action for women to fight for what they believe in. We put it in the section of our album Seasons: A Pagan Journey Around the Wheel that has our Lughnassad songs. Lughnassad celebrates the god Lugh, who is also a courageous warrior. Carole sings the lead vocal, with Marilyn joining her on the duet. Charlie did the percussion, Tara played zils and Alane played flute. The chorus of Crow Women sang and ululated! This is track 14 on the album, available here. Production of Warrior Woman was sponsored by Azrael.

Lyrics

I am Warrior Woman, I am strong;
The Goddess lives within me.

You are Warrior Woman, strong and true,
The Goddess lives within you too.

We are Warrior Women, we rejoice.
The Goddess is our inner voice.

Strong and kind, fierce and loving,
Artist, teacher, healer, mother.

We are warriors, we stand tall.
The Goddess is within us all.

Arm in arm we walk together,
The Goddess is within us all,
The Goddess is within us all
The Goddess is within us all.

It’s the ultimate dilemma. There you are at the fire circle, the fire beckoning. Your hips are shaking, toes tapping, you want to dance!!! But the rhythms are calling you.
