deutsche Version: Das Machtwort der Großmütter
Preamble
We are the Council of Grandmothers and we raise our voices.
In the old European tradition, grandmothers are powerful because of their life experience and their closeness to death. We live in this tradition. We are representatives of powerful circles connecting. The Council of Grandmothers picks up the thread on the way to a civilisation, in which the political and spiritual dimensions are one.
We live in a time of global delusion. The words of power and the holy fury of the grandmothers are aimed against all forms of patriarchal domination, delusional sense of feasibility, violence, greed, exploitation, and destruction. We raise our voices against these hostile actions and views of the world.
Love for all living beings is a matter close to our hearts. We call upon every woman and every man to verify that every concept, every project and every decision is life-serving to all creatures and natural resources – earth, air, fire, and water. Take responsibility and assure only life-serving projects are carried out.
Every economical, social, political and cultural decision must follow this sacred order.
