Lammas Picnic

The summer here, the light is bright. Partying both day and night

Warmth in the air, warmth from the ground, even warmth from the street walls

How beautiful a time and space, everything with eternal grace.

"My how the sun shines on your face!"

Blessings of warmth and harmony. Blessings bright

Music drifting on the breeze

Whether you are big or small

In summer we all stand tall

Growing up is so hard to do

However when that sky is blue, everyone celebrates life so true.

Greetings from a hidden place

"Come here with your eternal grace"

"Enjoy and be merry, the time has come, to be as one!"

 

 

 

The winter spin...

The halloween came by with pumpkin a'plenty

We had the ghost look; pumpkin, toy you name it

Everything ghouly 

Everything candly bright

It all went on that night

Welcome to the new world!

Look beyond the realms of darkness and light

Deep into the heart

You'll see a new day emerge

Bright and beautiful

Here comes wintertime!!

Autumn approaches...

Looking at the good year past

The bright happy summer sunshine

The smiling faces of little ones

Here comes the autumn

Harvest gathered in

A beautiful cornucopia of sweet honey

Happy daze!

Looking at the waves of the ocean

I sink deep

I know how the world can be

At one and in peace

Blessed be

The Autumn turned month by month

Bringing the winds of change

Strong and ever She rolls

Onward upward and away

Flying skyward to the heavens 

And beyond to a world of light

Power and might

Blessed be this night

The wheel of the years in the house....

Remembering the times of yesteryear

Of the light shining through the darkness

Will all praise the heavens above!

Welcome to a world of love and light

Upon each and every night of nights

We shine forth to a bright new day

Welcome tomorrow when the children play

Have a nice day!

The magic of Imbolc

Every year at Imbolc I like to let the sun shine in! as the wheel turns to the spring it's all about letting life flow after the dark days of winter into the light once more. This year I spent Imbolc with my family celebrating the Maiden goddess with daughters laughing and singing.. How better!
Life takes on a whole new meaning at this time of year, and joy is everlasting. We feel renewed and full of life! as the maiden goddess shines so we are healed from everything that has hurt our being. It's a time to look to the future and begin to make plans. Everything that comes to be at Imbolc is ever growing through the year as the cycle turns and comes to fruition at Mabon. So begin a new world and start a new life with joy in your heart and light in your soul. Welcome to paradise!

Blessings to One and all

Colour is magical!

The faeries fly

O'er hill and dale

The green grass grows 

All around!

Where'ere they grow

Colour doth abound

With joy they sing

Of Earth and ting

With happiness in heart

Bringing delicate nature

To Our worlds!

The blue sky fills with fluffy clouds

Gently they drift by

White upon the face of the heavens

With some news of life divine

Silver linings 
Golden sunshine filtering through the leaves
Green hue to the forest
Bright red berries of autumn
Golden yellows of spring
Heralding a new age
Healing and everyting
Purple Irises look over
The world of pure delight
Beauty in the eye of the beholder
Gentle and pure
Spring has sprung all around
Let's gather together and pray!

Spring blessings! 

The Spirit of the COW!

 

The Spirit of the COW!

The cow a blessed creature symbolises all we know about the Goddess in Her Mother aspect. There be stories in Ancient Eireland that talk of three magical cows coming to the shore, one white (the Maiden), one red (the Mother) and the other black (the Crone). Although all aspects of the Goddess are represented here, the Cow symbolises everything We know of Motherhood most of all.

She nurtures, She cares
She cAtches Us unawares
She gives and receives
She runs through the leaves
She gathers, She collects
An abundance of things
Life is what She brings!

This little poem shows Us just how important a Mother is!!
The Mother Goddess gives Her life for Her children and is always happy to do so!!
In my experience children give you so much back with their little hearts, just a smile in the morning or a joyful laugh and I'm happy they're happy!!
Motherhood is such a joy for a woman and to me the Cow symbolises joy everlasting! Cows seem to walk about with a smile upon their faces and exude happiness and forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the "Key to Life" I've always felt!
So in this way Cows are a vital aspect to all We know and love! The Cow has so much to teach Us about how to be good people. They live together happily in large numbers, for a small field and are always seen to gather at watering holes.
This community living is a wonderful way for us Humans to be and learn from!
The Cow really does represent PEACE in it's true essence!
The peaceful and giving nature of the Cow shows Us how We can all live together happily and help to provide for Our families and One another.
By lending a hand and by giving practical help or even giving of Our work some how we can all provide for the starving, poor and needy people in this sad, sad World of Ours!

Peace is such a vital aspect of Life to truly appreciate the Human being in their best and only true nature!
How can We look at this World of Ours seeing war and famine and suffering of any kind without ACTING in some peaceful way to put it right!!

The Cow brings blessings in "Abundance"!!
Although as a VEGE-head I only see the Cow as a friend who lives happily around me, their Sacredness to Human has been revered in INDIA always.
Happily the people of BUDDHA hold the gentleness of the Cow as most important to it's nature and also live like I do, in true respect of the animal's FR-REEDOM!
Nice peeps!!

With Motherhood comes responsibility and the Cow and Her male Bull both show great protection to their young and loved One! The Bull will stand strong in the face of "Foe" and will charge at invaders when need be!
However the Cow is ALL Goddess' and remains protective in peace of the young and old. Woman could do much by learning of this blessed duality and the sacredness of the TRUST between Cow and Bull!

I feel this animal really epitomises the Goddess at Her best in all Her four aspects while living the Life of a Mother!
This teaches Us wimmin that Life begins with being a Mother whatever age that is for you!
Life has so much to offer Us in motherhood and the Goddess knows that! After all, the planet We live on that gives Us LIFE itself, is a MOTHER GODDESS, the MOTHER EARTH!

Thanks for reading mi lil prose, I hope you enjoyed mi rant!!
With joy I bring you a painting of the Cow I found on the net!

 

 

 



A Christian Wiccan prayer....

 

 

It came upon the midnight hour

As all were fast asleep

A star shone bright on sleeping babe

With mother looking on

"Lo and behold, I grant to thee

A Messiah is born,

This night of eternity!"

 

The babe's young eyes

ThaY sparkled bright

Shepherds and lambs

Gathered around

Donkeys baying

With a gentle sound.

 

 

How fine this child

Born to save us all

Bringing together

Big and small

Boi and gurl

Old and young

The time of Christ'mas

Has begun!

 

Let us sing carols

With hearts alight

Sing them morn, noon and night

"Welcome, Welcome little one!"

It is truely now that all has begun

To feel alive

To change the world

To make Us whole

Once more!

 

Thanks be to Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Thanks be to the Mother Mary

Lets clean Our homes from top to bottom

Mop, sweep and dust

Cleanliness is a must

Before the Lord Our Saviour

And celebrate from daaybreak til dusk

And through the hours of darkness

Sit beside the fire

Mulled Wine in hand

Here starts up the band

Making music into the wee hours

Poinsettia flowers

The jasmine smells divine!

Love between Yours and Mine

Spreads through Christ'mas time

Jump up this day

Lets sing and pray

Lets find forgiveness in Our hearts

For One and all

However big or small

Let Our hearts shine on!

 

Holy infant

So tender and mild

Mother speaks so softly

To the child

"Happiness comes in small packages"

Bringing glory to All

Let us hear the Angels call!

Amen
