Thoughts Inspiration Education: Mafdet
Updated: Mar 8, 2020

MAFDET
Keeper of scrolls
Guardian of the library of Wisdom
You slay all those
Who have come
To desecrate your sacred site
Mafdet
Fierce leopard
You pounce
You slash
All which is not holy
Granting only access
To those of pure heart
You are the symbol
Of my conscience
The warrior
Of my path
Halting actions
Drawn from fear
To force me to become
An ever greater version of ME
Get your copy of My Spirit Song by Tirza Schaefer here!
When I stand before you
I am facing my inner truth
Ignoring it means more pain
Of my own choosing
Do I choose to battle on
Fighting that
Which I know to be my truth
A battle which cannot be won
Or do I ally myself
With the truth’s sharp teeth
And lethal claws
Only to find out
Walking in my truth
Transforms you into a purring friend
With softly padded paws
Oh Mafdet
Personification of my own inner truth
How long have I fought you
Slashing at my own heart
When all the while
Surrender was what it took
To walk cherished in the light
Of your love
