To Ancasta

Ancasta of the rushing river, Ancasta of the fair white feet, laughing you leap from stone to slippery stone, each step a dance of grace and ease.

Your might was great in days long past, your kindness and your bounty; your name was carved with grateful hands by one who knew your blessing, who prayed to you with love and faith. Ancasta, goddess, ancient one, I honor you now.
