Enjoy the feast...of LIFE

All life is your own, 
All fruits of the earth
Are fruits of your womb, 
Your Union, your dance.
Lady and Lord,
We thank you for blessings and abundance.
Join with us, Feast with us, Enjoy with us!
Blessed be.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Healing the Whole..LISTEN

I have come to terms with the future.
From this day onward I will walk
easy on the earth. Plant trees. Kill
no living creatures. I will restore the earth
where I am .

Use no more of it's resources
than I need.
And listen, listen to what it is telling me.

M.J. Slim Hooey

Renewal..plant seeds of Thought-Spirit-Intention now to bloom in Spring

Be a gardener.
Dig a ditch,
toil and sweat, and turn the earth upside down
and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labor
and make sweet floods to run
and noble abundant fruits
to spring.
Take this food and drink
and carry it to God
as your true worship.


Julian of Norwich

Thought for today...Protect Mother Earth

Only the winds of spring
can open the anemone
wrote Pliny


Wildflower
mayflower
nimbleweed
Anemone quinquefolia
the wind-god's
name in spring

Five white petals
three part leaves-
the ancients picked them 
chanting prayers

Help us 
to protect these waters
these wild lands you open on
instill in us
the powers
to contain the ooze of mines
the excrement of need

Protect these
aquifers and springs
of highland rock 
the breath of winds
we blossom by

Walt Franklin

JUST BE THANKFUL & GIVE THANKS..thought for today by Denise Levertov

Praise wet snow
Falling early
Praise the shadow
my neighbor's chimney casts on the tile roof
even this grey October day that should, they say,
have been golden.

Praise
the invisible sun burning beyond
 the white cloud sky, giving us
light and the chimney's shadow.

Praise
god or gods, the unknown,
that which imagined us, which stays
our hand, 
our murderous hand, 
and gives us
still,
in the shadow of death,
our daily life,
and the dream still
of goodwill, of peace on earth.

Praise
flow and change, night and
the pulse of day.

A TIME FOR CHANGE...welcome with open arms..Honoring the Graywolf and the Raven

It is no good trying to fight change..it is what we are all here for..to implement the way forward, to grow means to change, to live means to change and to grow older means to be changed.
If we try and stop change we need to stop the earth spinning. 
Every new dawn is change.

I have avoided this for the past 5 years, trying to set myself new goals and concentrate on just one area of my life, but I have given in to pressure and I am back on my spiritual path...
.....To all who know Graywolf....I am letting you know that he is back.
As I write this I have White Mountain Sage burning and blowing through my home opening up for Change.

To all who are not familiar, watch this page over the next few months and share the transformation with me;


Meanwhile take note of this traditional Native American prayer:

O Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds, 
and whose breath gives life to the world,
hear me! Small and weak I am, I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.

Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Make me wise so that I may understand 
the things you have taught my people.


Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every
leaf, rock and herb.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

Make me always ready to come to you with clean 
hands and straight eyes.

So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.

Today I threw the medicine cards and picked up Raven just as I had lit the sage...Raven represents the messenger in the smoke, and is about healing"
Raven is the messenger that carries all energy flows of ceremonial magic between the ceremony itself and the intended destination.
Magic is in the air.
Remember, the challenge now is to bring light, into the dark void..in doing so you will have honored the magician within."

So onward and upward....be good to yourself and all around you.
