The Spirits of the Jungle fill me with happiness,
for the Jungle lives on,
beyond the boundaries of humans,
and even if the Jungle is no more
like it was before,
it shall live on and prevail forever!

Hail the Gaia the Warrior,
Gaia the Mother of the Alive!
Hail She from whose womb all species came,
and to whom we all return!

Remember the species that have gone,
the Mighty Nonhumans of the Time before Humans.

Remember the species that have gone,
the Nonhumans who have known
their end in human hands.

Remember the species that give
humans food and shelter, and teach
the little ones to be strong and wise.

Honor the elements
that constitute our physical flesh,
and our spiritual selves.

And sing of the glory of Gaia,
sing of the Jungle, of the Desert,
of the Temperate Wood, the frozen Poles,
the Oceans, and the Fresh Waters.
Sing of every ecosystem that prevails
indomitable, sing of Life,
in all its wild and furious glory!

The Alive are remembered, and They are happy.

I am happy, for I am Alive,
and like Gaia in that
primeval moment of creation,
from my womb shall come forth the Alive.

Long Live the Earth!
Long Live the Wild!
Long Live the Jungle!

Hail Gaia!
