Samhain Blessings

 

 

 

Here we are again

It's that time of year

To dress up fancy

And give a cheer

Halloween is here!

Tonite we delve deep into Our souls

To find Our inner magic

From deep within Our hearts and minds

Sprout spells and ritual magic!

The magic literally swirls around

Creating glory in it's path

What will be the aftermath?!

 

 

All Hallows Eve

The Ancestors bright

Come hither to be with us on this night

The Kelts of Britain, the knights of old

Have a story to be told

Kind King Arthur and his tribe

Keep this night alive!!

Fighting for what is right

On this most hallowed of night

Beyond the Seventh Seal we send

Those who must make amend

The Veil is thin to all good

Naga gone from Our Heaven!!!

The Otherworld a place of the Ancestors

That once walked these lands

Beautiful Ones with wisdom strong

Knowing what needs to be done

Sending gifts from Heaven above

Flying with wings of a dove

Bring us home to Britain to dwell

Jesus Our Emmanuel!

 

 

How the Moon doth shine so bright

Welcoming us to the night

Ana's light!

The Goddess in being

Grandmother Moon

Shining o'er this world

Of happy peeps playing trick or treat

Friends we always meet

On Our journey across the world

Thanks be to the Heavens

Of new and old!

 

Blessed Be

As the Autumn comes alive

The leaves begin to take a dive

Magic awakes from deep within

The Earth and us!

Happy days are here again

Joys abound

Plentiful harvest for everyone

Mother Earth's gifts

Pumpkins ready for festival next

Corn for this seems the best

 From deep within the magic stirs
Like Ceridwen's cauldron!!
Mixing potions, brews and bakes
Harvest merriment makes
Mabon brings a welcome return
To the magical air of Autumn
You can touch the magic with your heart
Making mindful spells
Bringing ritual to the fore
Rites of Autumnal wealth bore
Blessings of a child forseen
To change the world we know
To that of peace and love!
With the wings of a dove She doth fly
Like toffee She sweetens You & I
Buttercups and Daisies in Her heart
Beauty She doth impart
Dancing through the glen
Awaken the world of men
To all that woman can be
How happy we are to see
A shining star awaken
Twinkling bright
Little starlight!



Blessed Be

The Snowflake Fairy

 

The Snowflake Fairy 

I dance, I dance through the sky
Bringing the joy of winter
Bright blessings I bring
To you and your King
Joy everlasting
Wintertime full of light
Snow so bright

My heart is filled with passion
I am overjoyed
Winter's here
The way is clear
We dance through the sky
The time is nigh
For peace on earth
For the Great Mother's Rebirth
Welcome, Welcome Everyone!

Snowflakes fall
Upon us all
To bless us with dainty love
Prancing around
A new world is found
Full of snowmen and white
A cover for the night
The light it brings
Full of ding-a-ling-lings
Has fairies making mirth
The Great Mother's rebirth!

Blessed Be

Pheonix Smoldering Ash

Lammas Blessings

 

 

The Mother Goddess

 

 

 

As we reach the beginning of the harvest and Autumn in it's traditional sense, the Sun ripening the fields of crops and warming our souls, we find the time of the "Mother Goddess".

The sacred site in Britain related to this festival celebration is Silbury Hill in Wiltshire. It symbolised a mother's pregnant womb and embodies fertilty at it's best. The Ancient Druids would journey here at the Lammas time (1st August) and celebrate the Mother Goddess at Her most fertile.

 

 As this is a Mother Goddess celebration, the menfolk would gather together separately and celebrate Lughnasad (LOO-NAS-SAH). This celebration of the Celtic God Lugh, the god of craft, skill and master of many arts, was like the olympic games for menfolk!!

The Celtic God Lugh

 

Young men especially with the guidace of elders would celebrate together for the moon month. Fathers would be at the Lammas festival celebrating with the Mothers and their children.

 

In tradition their are many Mother Goddess' celebrated. DEMETER the mother of Persephone is also a Grain Goddess of the harvestime. Her blessed realm would be celebrated at Lammas with dancing and the making of Corn Dollys. The first ear of corn cut from the harvest was made into a Goddess' likeness and kept in the home til next year when it was planted into the fields in spring. This helped to ensure the fertility of the land and a good harvest. A fertilty dance at harvestime would help to celebrate the Mother Earth and the Goddess Ana at her most bountiful.

 

The sacred symbol for PEACE

 

Lammas Ritual

As this is the time of the harvest, it is nice to celebrate by making an offering of your harvest to the Mother Earth and the Fae. By leaving this offering you are giving thanks for all the bountiful gifts of the Great Mother. Another possibility is to have a picnic with family and friends celebrating of your harvest. Both aspects, the aspect of give-away and the aspect of enjoying yourself are always welcomed by the Mother Goddess' and the Great Mother Herself.

 

   To quote the Native American Commandments of the Great Spirit:

 

"Dedicate a share of your efforts to the Greater Good"

Have a fun Litha!

Litha, the Summer Solstice is a time of celebration of the sun's peak, the Sun Lord at full power! This celebration is of the Goddess' DOMNU and the LADY of the LAKE. Both watery Goddess' as DOMNU is the Mother of the Oceans. This aspect of Ana is extremely powerful as Her Lord and if you imagine the Ocean waves you can perceive Her power! It is to Her that tribes living alongside the Ocean pray. Known by many names across the world such as Yemaya in Africa this Goddess has been revered throughout the ages of ,mankind.



Here in Britain there were a tribe of people many moons ago who worshipped Her (Domnu) in great reverence. This tribe, the ancient Irish Fomoire, one of the spiritual ancestry of Britain, revered the Ocean as the giver of Life. They were magical creatures and were the Mer-people and lived in harmony with the Ocean and Domnu. Domnu was born of Chaos and Old-Night, two of the original manifestations of the Lord and Lady's predecessors. Essential and powerful manifestations of the Universe' creation!

For more information on the spiritual ancestry of Britain please see the book by Kathy Jones entitled "Spinning the Wheel of Ana".

( ISBN 1-872983-02-2 and available from www.kathyjones.co.uk )

Litha Ritual

Always goto watery places at this time of year to truly appreciate the Goddess' energy. As Domnu we find her at the ocean's edge and at the Lakeside we find her as Lady of the Lake.
By making offerings to the waters we can honour these two aspects of the Goddess. The offerings can be flowers or floating candles or homemade paper boats (decorated with designs to honour Litha)
Making prayers as we watch these float away to the Goddess for fruitful harvests and fertility, for prosperity and health, for fun and mirth, for happiness and peace.
ENJOY!

Blessed Be.

Wild and alive!

Forever souls are shining bright,

Potential for a glorious life!

Angels tread near the unicorn,

Magical beings of the everlasting eras,

Wonder is in our souls!
The unicorn prances into the distance,
The mists twirl around,
Avalon is the sound!
Pipers and horn players,
Harps and drums,
The fae are with us, everyone!

Dancing in the light of the moon,
The time is coming very soon.
When the world will awaken,
Energy flowing,
From Chakras that have laid still,
To reveal a new golden wisdom,
For all to share!
But beware!
There must be cleansing of the world,
To allow this glory to behold!

Welcome to the new world,
Light shining forth,
Angels and Unicorns leading the way!
Light beings of the fifth dimension
Guiding us all
Into the Golden Age!
May you all find this happiness
Filtering through,
May the sky be forever blue!
Blessings of the Unicorn shine in the light!
Be open to their guidance, morn , noon and night!

Litha Blessings!

As the summer reaches it's height,

So the birds are put to flight.

Dancing begins at sunset

Goes on til dawn in the heat of the night.

Fires a'burning, music a 'plays

Feeling for more hot, hot days.

Litha spirit fills the air,

Dancing dolphins through the waves,

Seals, the selkies make us aware

Of Domnu's presence at Summer Solstice

Mother of the Oceans brings blessings galore

Fertility, Abundance, Prosperity,

Blessings of a glorious summer to be

As Ana begins to blossom fine

So the flowers fill our mind

Smells of sweet Roses,

Jasmine, Fuschia, Freesia

Drifting on the summer breeze

Fairies come to dance with glee

At Stonehenge there's a frenzy of activity

Druids gather to bless you and me

Dancing, Singing, Music, Fire

Hours of fun to bring in the dawn

Of the summer's height

When the Sun doth shine

Midsummer madness fills the air

Everyone is greeted with a flair

Of happiness and laughter

Warmth of the soul ever after

Drums a 'sounding to the beat

Of summer's wonderful blessed heat!

Blessed Be
