When Mother Earth, Anu was young the gods gifted her sisters; Fair Brigid with the fiery hair, blonde Boann of the waters. Their bodies lay upon the globe intertwined in rainbows Brown skinned mountains, fiery skies, and blonde washed dawns to rouse. Adore the feminine in all her forms, or mountains rise and snowslides are born. Adore the feminine in all her forms. Most favored by the Northern gods was Brigid's aurora How the endless night was blessed so they all adored her. The jealous day of blonde Boann shook, from pale limb to limb, and water rose to wake Anu who writhed in earthen skin. Adore the feminine in all her forms, or mountains rise and snowslides are born. Adore the feminine in all her forms. The Northern lands of ice and snow so brightened by Brigid saw brittle glaciers break and fall avalanches begin. So to this day all North men pray to the goddesses three Earthen Anu, fiery Brigid and Boann's watery lea. Adore the feminine in all her forms, or mountains rise and snowslides are born. Adore the feminine in all her forms.

Bold mythical imagery--the repetition of the lines: Adore the feminine in all her forms, or mountains rise and snowslides are born. Adore the feminine in all her forms." is effective. Well done!
