Guardians

She calls the power to
Women in Circle dance.
She drums the Heartbeat forth,
drowning out Darkening.

Dragoning magic rites,
blindfolded, sword sharpened,
firelit, the other woman
beckons the Hearkening.

Singing with tambourines,
Conscience bared, FireJumpers;
leaping the passions that
threaten the journeying.

Meditate mystery,
Back through the labyrinth
sacred of ancient ones,
corridors echoing.

Drums she the Silver Chord
tying their spirits down;
sounding the pressure waves
pushed forth by blood surging.

Smoke draws the elements
Thunder and Lightening.
Wise one in Center is
singing the Ripening.

Back from the Underground
sleepwalk the Dreaming Ones.
Up through the thicket and
stone are they wandering.

She who is warding Death,
ceases with brandishing.
Open is Circle and
ended the Gathering.

The Charge Of The Triple Goddess

Tweet

Today I wanted to do something different. I found the following poem awhile ago and would love to share it with everyone...and to the unknown author, I thank you for sharing something so beautiful and magical. I am sure most of you have seen this already.

"I AM THE WANING MOON, "THE GODDESS WHO IS FADING FROM THE LAND."
"IN THE SPRINGTIME I SOUGHT MY LORD" AND MATED WITH HIM BENEATH THE TREES AND STARS."
"AT BELTANE I WED MY LORD BENEATH THE FIRST BLOSSOMS OF THE HAWTHORN TREE"
"AND IN THE SUMMERTIME I RIPENED THE APPLES IN THE ORCHARDS,"
"AND THE FRUIT GREW ROUND AND STRONG LIKE THE SEED IN MY WOMB."
"AND AT HARVEST I CUT DOWN MY LORD, THAT BY HIS DEATH OUR PEOPLE MIGHT BE FED."
"AND NOW IN AUTUMN-TIME, I DESCEND BENEATH THE EARTH"
"TO DWELL WITH MY LORD IN HIS DARK KINGDOM UNTIL OUR CHILD IS BORN."
"AT THE WINTER SOLSTICE I WILL BRING FORTH THE CHILD AND RENEW OUR HOPE,"

And at Candlemas, I myself will return to renew the land.

"I LEAVE YOU, BUT I RETURN TO YOU"
"WHEN YOU SEE MY POWER FADE, AND THE LEAVES FALL FROM THE TREES."
"WHEN THE SNOW OBLITERATES LIKE DEATH ALL TRACE OF ME UPON THE EARTH."
"THEN LOOK FOR ME UPON THE MOON AND THERE IN THE HEAVENS,"
"YOU WILL SEE THE SOUL OF ME SOARING AMONGST THE STARS."
"AND IN THAT DARKEST TIME WHEN THE MOON IS COVERED BY SHADOW,"
"AND THERE IS NO TRACE OF ME IN HEAVEN OR ON EARTH;"
"WHEN YOU LOOK OUTWARD AND YOUR LIVES SEEM COLD, DARK, AND BARREN,"
"LET NO DESPAIR EAT AT YOUR HEARTS."
"FOR WHEN I AM HIDDEN, I AM BUT RENEWING."
"WHEN I AM WANING, I AM MAKING READY FOR RETURN."
"REMEMBER MY PROMISE AND LOOK WITHIN YOU,"
"AND THERE YOU WILL FIND THE SPIRT OF ME AWAITING THOSE WHO SEEK."

For by the well-spring of your being, I await you always.

"I AM DIANA IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH PERSEPHONE"
"AND WITHIN YOU DARK HECATE"
"TRIPLE AM I; THE ONLY ONE IN THREE"
"MY BODY IS THE EARTH; MY SOUL IS THE MOON"
"AND WITHIN THINE INNERMOST SELF...THAT ETERNAL SPIRIT OF ME."

HERE IS A GYPSY TRANSLATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER:

My sweet God,

who art there in Heaven,

may thy name come hallowed;

may thy kingdom come hither;

may they do all that thou wishest upon earth,

as in Heaven.

Give me to-day my daily bread,

and forgive me all that I cannot pay thee,

as I shall forgive other men all that they do not pay me.

Do not let me fall into evil desire;

but take me out from all wickedness.

For thine is the kingdom,

thine the power,

thine the glory now and ever.

Go with God!

Stay with God!

Go, for God's sake!

Stay, for God's sake!

By God!

Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a nice plump missionary.

-Oscar Wilde

Wealth can not exist in the wrong place.

Growth can not exist where no foundation is established.

Prosperity occurs where good foundation is set at the right place.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slow.

-Mae West

ELEPHANT WONDERING

A seed

Has sprouted beneath a golden leaf

In a dark forest.

This seed is seriously contemplating

Seriously wondering about

The moseying habits

Of the Elephant.

Why?

Because

In this lucid, wine-drenched tale

The Elephant is really --

God,

Who has

His big foot upon us,

Upon the golden leaf under which lies

This sprouting

Universe

Wherein

We are all a little concerned

And

Nervous.

-Hafiz

Here is a prayer for unexpected income:

We dwell in the midst of infinite abundance.

The abundance of God is our infinite source.

The river of life is always flowing.

It flows through us into lavish expression.

Good comes to us through unexpected avenues.

God works in myriad ways to bless us.

We now open our minds to receive our good and wonderful things

begin to happen.

With God as our source, everything amazes us.

We give freely and fearlessly into life and life gives back to

us with fabulous increase.

Blessings come in expected and unexpected ways.

God provides for us and we are grateful.

And so it is.

The Prosperity Prayer

by Lynn Robinson Copyright 2002

"Dear God "

"I surrender my financial affairs and concerns about money to your Divine care and love."I ask that you remove my worries, anxieties and fears about money, and replace them with faith.

I know and trust that my debts will be paid and money will flow into my life.

I have only to look to nature to see proof of the abundance you provide.

I release all negative thoughts about money, and know that prosperity is my true state.

I commit to being grateful for all that I now have in my life.

I learn to manage my finances wisely, seeking help where needed.

And finally, I ask you to help me understand my purpose in life and to act on that purpose with courage and strength.

I know that prosperity will come, in part, by doing work I love.

Please help me use my skills and knowledge to be of service in the world.

Thank you, God.

Amen

GOD SPEAK TO ME

The man whispered,

"God speak to me."

And a meadowlark sang,

but the man did not hear.

Then the man yelled,

"God speak to me."

And thunder rolled across the sky,

but the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said,

"God let me see you."

And the stars shined brightly,

but the man did not notice.

And the man shouted,

"God show me a miracle!"

And a life was born,

but the man did not know.

So the man cried out in despair,

"Touch me God and let me know you are here."

Whereupon,

God reached down and touched the man,

but the man brushed the butterfly away

and walked on.

So remember,

don't miss out on a blessing

just because it isn't packaged the way you expect.

Take notice of the things around you.

-Author unknown

A beautiful exerpt from an article posted at the Yunsai Society can be found on this page. It is too long to post here, but is well worth reading.

"I relax and cast aside all mental burdens,"allowing God to express through me "His perfect love, peace, and wisdom."

-from Scientific Healing Affirmations by Paramahansa Yogananda

The Prayer of Protection:

The light of God surrounds me

The love of God enfolds me

The power of God protects me

The presence of God watches over me

Where ever I am - God is

And all is well.

A Charm For Samhain

Tweet

"The next in the series of gaelic high-day charms. In all of these cases I have composed them as riddles of a sort. A student who can riddle out all the references in these charms probably knows the High day lore pretty well."

End of Summer, summoned
Herd Culling; Head Taking
Mead Making; Dead Calling
I keep the Feast of Samhain!
First of the Fallen, you I call
Son of the Warrior; Eldest of Brothers
Lord of the Feast in the House of the Dead.
Take now this offering here at my Fire.
Wrathful Red Goddess, you I call
Queen of the Spirits, Daughter of Danu
Mare of the Stallion, Crow of the Corpses
Take now my offering, here at my Fire.
Host of the Ancestors, this is your feasting.
Apples I give you, fruit of the Gods
Bread I give you, flesh of the Land
Ale I give you, blood of the Cauldron
Come you from the Isle of Apples
Come you from the Dark One's House
Come you through the Door of the Hinge
And give your blessing to our year!

So, all you Powers, I give you welcome at my Fire. Let your light be reflected in my spirit, let your ale flow in my veins. I raise this glass to you, and drink to your divine power. Let me know the health, wealth and wisdom of the Gods and Spirits on this holy feast of Samhain! So be it!

Offerings: For the Deities, oil or incense, for the Dead as specified: Apples, bread and ale. Work the rite close to your hearth, or at a tomb.

Sacred Trees

Sacred trees
You among all creation deserve high honor.
For all your long life your arms you raise,
Heaven-ward in endless praise,
Leaves upturned to the sun,
To the face of the God of Life.

Sacred trees
You among all creation deserve love.
You give of yourself freely, as laden branches bend.
You give of yourself completely, your fruit, your wood; your end
Becomes a new Beginning
As you return your gift of life
And once again to the body of Mother Earth.

Sacred trees
You among all creation deserve sanctification.
Giving of yourself, from without and within
You sow no hate, you make no sin
You give to us the breath of life, even as you die.
Pray we too, learn to live as trees.

The Abyss And Tabaet A Study Of Adversarial Mythology In Magick

Book: The Abyss And Tabaet A Study Of Adversarial Mythology In Magick by Michael Ford

The purpose of the following essay is to not only examine masks worn by the fallen angels throughout history as well as to examine the etymology of the spirit of self-liberation and opposition from the praxis of occult thought. The very passing of power in the Circle of Witchcraft And Sorcery is the averse way of bringing into union Daemon and Man, the intent of the Adversary is life and the Immortality of the spirit. As “Luciferian Witchcraft” and “Liber HVHI” provide a foundation of sorcery which incorporates an interwoven praxis of Antinomianism and self-deification, the essential origins of the Daemonic Feminine and Masculine should be further understood by its origins.

What is regarded as common knowledge depicts that the Luciferian spirit, what is found are the associative traits and that the Adversary has existed long before Christianity. The Avestan texts as well as the Denkard provide a wealth of knowledge of Ahriman from a right hand path point of view, consider as such a veil which can only be passed through by the Great Work of initiation.

The names and cultural expressions of the Adversary are briefly explored as an introduction, from the ancient Persian, Hebraic and even Norse, the Adversary appears in each. As tempter, war maker, wisdom bringer and devouring predatory spirit. Look to the common aspects which make the Opposer as a force of initiation.

Lucifer/Ahriman/Samael is a spirit which is made viable through the Adept his/herself, this force is expressive of the individual, thus each manifestation unique as the initiate in question.

Ariadia Or A Gospel Of The Witches

Book: Ariadia Or A Gospel Of The Witches by Charles Godfrey Leland

Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches is an 1899 book by Charles Godfrey Leland. The book is an attempt to portray the beliefs and rituals of an underground religious witchcraft tradition in Tuscany that, Leland claimed, had survived for centuries until his discovery of its existence in the 1890s. Scholars have disputed the veracity of this claim. Still, the book has become one of the foundational texts of the Neopagan witchcraft movements Wicca and Stregheria.

The text is a composite. Some of it is Leland's translation into English of an original Italian manuscript, the Vangelo (gospel). Leland reported receiving the manuscript from his primary informant on Italian witchcraft beliefs, a woman Leland referred to as "Maddalena" and whom he called his "witch informant" in Italy. The rest of the material comes from Leland's research on Italian folklore and traditions, including other related material from Maddalena. Leland had been informed of the Vangelo's existence in 1886, but it took Maddalena eleven years to provide him with a copy. After translating and editing the material, it took another two years for the book to be published. Its fifteen chapters portray the origins, beliefs, rituals and spells of an Italian pagan witchcraft tradition. The central figure of that religion is the goddess Aradia, who came to Earth to teach the practice of witchcraft to peasants in order for them to oppose their feudal oppressors and the Catholic Church.

Leland's work remained obscure until the 1950s, when other theories about, and claims of, "pagan witchcraft" survivals began to be widely discussed. Aradia began to be examined within the wider context of such claims. Scholars are divided, with some dismissing Leland's assertion regarding the origins of the manuscript, and others arguing for its authenticity as a unique documentation of folk beliefs. Along with increased scholarly attention, Aradia came to play a special role in the history of Gardnerian Wicca and its offshoots, being used as evidence that pagan witchcraft survivals existed in Europe, and because a passage from the book's first chapter was used as a part of the religion's liturgy. After the increase in interest in the text, it became widely available through numerous reprints from a variety of publishers, including a 1999 critical edition with a new translation by Mario and Dina Pazzaglini.
