Tiamat, Mother of the Deep, womb of the cosmos, birther of all things…
From your boundless waters, life first arose, from your sacred chaos, the world was shaped.
Mistress of the Primordial Sea, your waves churn with power, your breath stirs the stars. Before the gods took their thrones in the heavens, you reigned supreme, the eternal night. You are the cradle and the storm, the dark waters from which all is born, the dragons and serpents rise at your call, beasts of your making, protectors of your realm.
When the heavens and earth sought to order, you stood unyielding, defender of the old ways, with your mighty roar, you shook the skies, in your fury, the gods trembled and quaked.
Tiamat, bearer of life and death, queen of the formless void. Though Marduk rose to bring new order, your essence endures in the heart of creation. Mother of waters, endless and vast, we honour your power, your ancient past.
From your chaos comes balance, from your depths comes birth, Tiamat, great mother, ruler of the first.

In the beginning, there was nothing but the primordial ocean.
She was Tiamat, the Dragon Mother, and from Her womb the deities of ancient Mesopotamia were born.
As Her story goes, conflict arose among the gods and in their strife, Apsu, the beloved of Tiamat was slain.
Overcome with grief and fury, the Great Dragon Tiamat raged for the loss of her consort. The battle continued until Marduk, god of war and storms, rose against her. In a final clash, Marduk struck down the Ancient Mother, splitting her body in two. From Her, the heavens and earth were formed, and Her tears gave life to the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.
Between these rivers, the cradle of civilization—Ancient Mesopotamia—flourished.
Now, we call you back to the ancient Land of Tiamat.
Beyond the wounds of separation the First Mother, the Dragon Mother,
waits for us to remember the essence of the First Earth, rooted in Oneness.
