Blessing Your Morning Coffee Ritual

Tweet

In the morning, when you make your coffee, this is a great chant to chant while making it! What you'll need: a brown or white candle, ideally a coffee scented one, a coffee perculator, some coffee beans and a coffee grinder.

Light the candle. While grinding the coffee beans, chant this first verse:

"Yummy yummy coffee bean,

Fill my mug with hot caffeine.

Coffee, coffee, quickly send

Hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate blend."

If you don't have a grinder, just chant that verse over it. While putting the grinds in the machine, chant:

"Sun is rising, Great God Ra,

Your falcon wings bring me java.

Goddess Bast, your rattle shakes the grains

Of morning brew running through my veins."

While putting your sugar and cream in your favourite mug (while the coffee is brewing) chant:

"Bit of cream instead of milk,

Turns my coffee into silk.

Allow me a taste of sugar,

Without it my coffee is vulgar."

As you're mixing your coffee, chant:

"Rising sun's gift, all this caffeine,

Kitchen's percolator, supreme machine.

So Below, As Above,

This cup of coffee, I do love."

Now enjoy your perfect cup of coffee!

Reminiscence From A Khalwa Night

Tweet

the khalwa has begun.

in the most secluded part of night,

far removed from ordinary sight

from the house of worship,

permeating its dome

vibrations of zikr rise

towards the Throne.

the dimly lit outer room of our mosque

creates

a quality of unknowingness.

i look outside the window facing the gardens

there to my surprise is our master's presence!

the master sits alone on the porch

in quietude of the night

leading his holy children

in recalling of Light.

upon his heart, upon his lips,

between Lord and him, goes on

ceaseless remembrance,

the sacred communion of grace.

on this blessed night

if you listened to the sound

of the caravan of khalwa,

you'd have listened only this: Allah! Allah!

(c) Sadiq Salim

jan 7, 2008

photograph ">

note: during khalwa night (a sufi practice of spiritual retreat) the master (Sidi, may God sanctify his station), while zikr was going on inside the mosque, he himself sat outside, alone. i happened to seen him on such an occasion and it was a beautiful feeling to catch a glimpse of a realized master in his remembrance in solitude with God. the poem derived its inspiration from that glimpse on the night of khalwa (dec 18, 2007). alhamduli'Llah.

. khalwa means spiritual retreat, a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad and earlier Prophets. the opening of heart of Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace, happened also during a blessed night of khalwa or spiritual retreat in a cave of Jabal e Noor (Mountain of Light) near Mecca when divine revelation (Quran) began to descend upon his heart.

. zikr is remembrance of the Divine, can be inwardly, outwardly or both.

. Allah, the unique name of God, is invoked in zikr. Sheikh Shadhili, the founder of the Shadhiliyya path specifically emphasized on the practice of louder mode of remembrance on the particular Divine name 'Allah'.

La Rede Wiccan

Tweet

La Rede Wiccan es una frase que habla de la principal ley o precepto seguido por los wiccans. 'Esta frase es: Haz lo que quieras y a nadie perjudiques; la cual es debatida hasta la actualidad por su verdadera autor'ia. 'Esta ha dado origen al poema titulado de la misma forma la Rede Wicca. Muchos consideran que se trata de Doreen Valiente y otros de Lady Gwynne Thompson. En lo que se est'a seguros es que fue Doreen Valiente quien utiliz'o p'ublicamente esas palabras por primera vez en un discurso dado el 3 de octubre de 1964 en un evento auspiciado por la revista Pentagram.

La Rede Wiccan

Seguir las leyes Wicca debemos,

en perfecto amor y perfecta confianza

Vivir y dejar vivir, Justamente dar y recibir

Tres veces el circulo haz de trazar,

Para as'i a los esp'iritus malignos echar

Con cada frase que haz de cartear

El final del hechizo debe rimar

De toque gentil y suave mirar

Es mejor poco hablar y mucho escuchar

Y cuando a los Antiguos haz de invocar

Que la luz y el amor te vuelvan a guiar

Deosil va con la Luna iluminada

Cantando alegre una dulce tonada

Widdershings va con la Luna al menguar

Y escuchas los lobos a la Luna llorar

Si la Dama de Luna Nueva ha de estar

Dos veces la mano le haz de besar

Si la luna esta noche Llena se va a mostrar

Los deseos de tu coraz'on vas a encontrar

Cuando el Viento del Este ha de soplar

Las fiestas y lo nuevo haz de esperar

Del Viento del Norte te tendr'as que cuidar

Y las ventanas y puertas vas a cerrar

Cuando el Viento del Sur ha de soplar

El amor en la boca te ha de besar

Y si al Viento del Oeste sientes suspirar

En paz tu coraz'on podr'a descansar

En el caldero debes quemar

Nueve maderas que haz de nombrar

El Abedul en el fuego va a representar

Lo que la Dama en su sabidur'ia te quiera mostrar

Torres del bosque, Roble al quemar

As'i a los Dioses estas por llamar

El Serbal es el 'Arbol del poder

Haciendo la magia y la vida florecer

El Sauce que al borde del r'io ha de estar

Siempre dispuesto en el verano ayudar

El Espino se quema para purificar

Y que a la justicia a los ojos puedas mirar

Del Avellano la sabidur'ia aprender'as

Si al fuego brillante lo has de quemar

! Blanca es la flor del Manzano mirad!

Que nos trae la fruta de la fertilidad

Las Uvas crecen sobre la Vid

Que nos da el vino y la alegr'ia de vivir

Del Abeto la hoja de la inmortalidad

Que perenne al tiempo vive la bondad.

Del Sa'uco nunca quemes una rama

Ya que este es el 'Arbol de la Dama.

Cuatro Sabbats en luz y oscuridad

Cuatro principales presenciar'as

Como el viejo A~no se empieza a desvanecer

En Samhaim el nuevo A~no comienza a nacer

Cuando el tiempo de Imbolc esta por llegar

Las flores en la nieve debes mirar.

Y entonces la Rueda empieza a girar

Y los fuegos de Beltane han de brillar

Como la Rueda gire las noches de Lama

Trae la magia en el ritual de la Dama

Cuatro Sabbats de menor condici'on

Y todos marcados por el mismo sol

Cuando Yule marca la Rueda

Un tronco para Cernunnos quema

D'ia y noche de primavera en nuestro camino

Tiempo de Ostara para emprender el destino

Cuando el Sol su cenit ha de alcanzar

Es tiempo del Nogal y el Roble para luchar

Cuando el Equinoccio de oto~no esta por llegar

Tiempos duros todos van afrontar

'Arbol, arbusto y flor cuida

Y por la Se~nora ser'as bendecida

Tira una piedra en el agua y veras

Como las ondas te dir'an la verdad

Aun cuando tengas una Necesidad

A la codicia ajena no servir'as

No pierdas tiempo con el tonto juzgado

O su amigo ser'as considerado

Feliz encuentro, feliz partida

Tibio el coraz'on, brillante la mejilla

La ley del tres tendr'as presente

Tres veces mal, Tres veces bien,

Cuando la desgracia este en tu mente

Una estrella azul lleva en la frente

Siempre fiel a tu amor debes ser

Amenos que tu amor fiel deje de ser

Siete palabras la Rede satisface:

Has tu voluntad y A nadie da~nes

Spiritual Stairs

Originally uploaded by margr'e.

Knowing and understanding the true impermanence nature of this fleeing world,

and meditating on it,

you will become a monk in your heart.

Don't be a monk on outer,

but become one inside the deep inner.

Wear the dress of modesty and humblness,

knowing that you are not worth,

and never worth infront of the Eternal Glory.

Be conscious of your utter nakedness of your limited conditions and every weakness.

The whole earth is a monastery for you, and you are nothing but a nomad.

Living all the time at preparation to leave at any time.

With every moment passing you move more closer to your 'home'.

So prepare for the journey back 'home'.

The home of your soul's destiny.

The best attachment you can shed is your false, illusory ego.

But that path is not easy, so shed all other attachments everyday, every moments.

Chant the mantra of life, rejoice in it

Because you are given the consciousness of the Divine.

Live in the rememberance of the Real.

Rejoice that you are gifted with the soul to live.

So live fully, and love fully.

If you carry a heart, let it be pure.

Surely the pure heart shines incomparably with all its glory.

Polish it with rememberance so that His Glory you can reflect back.

If you practice dharma,

practice the dharma of Truth.

Let the Ultimate Reality be your object of dharma.

Death Song

Tweet

"Another item repaganized from Carmina Gadelica, the famous collection of Scots Gaelic poems, charms and prayers. A blessing on all those who have passed, especially in this last year."

You go home this night to your home of winter,

To your home of fall, of spring, of summer,

You go home this night to the Turning House,

To your pleasant rest in the House of Joy.

Rest you, rest, and away with sorrow,

Rest this night in the Mother's breast,

Rest you, rest, and away with sorrow,

Rest, O beloved, with the Mother's kiss;

In the Many-colored Land,

In the Land of the Dead,

In the Plain of Joy,

In the Land Beneath the Wave,

In the Land of Youth,

In the Land of the Living,

In the Revolving Castle, the House of Donn.

Rest in seven lights, beloved,

Rest in seven joys, beloved,

Rest in seven sleeps, beloved,

In the Grove of the Cauldron, Morrigan's Shrine.

The shade of death is on your face, beloved,

But the Cauldron of Rebirth awaits you,

The Threefold turning of your fate

When your rest has given you your peace

So rest in the calm of all calms

Rest in the wisdom of all wisdoms

Rest in the love of all loves

Rest in the Lord of Life and Death

Rest in the Lady of Life and Death

'Til the Season of Turning

'Til the Time of the Returning

'Til the Mystery of the Cauldron

Blessing I Should Have Been Born Kenza

Tweet

Day Off: Day Trip: Chef Chauen, Morocco

Originally uploaded by shadowplay. I should have been born in other times

When no passports where needed,

When one could roam the earth freely,

When the seas were open, and the mountains also.

When the road one took, lead to unknown places,

To places where you were received by poets,

And where a cup of tea was freely given

Along with the chants of the birds.

When journeys took decades

And meeting new people took a smile.

A time when languages were easily learned

And generosity was always there.

When the kindness of the spirit,

Busy markets and carefully crafted gardens

Inspired musicians

As the passing of caravanserais.

When the road was itself the journey

And the only identification to be shown

Was your kindheartedness, patience

And hunger for knowledge.

When one could seat for hours

Talk spirituality and nonsense

Under the shade of a century old maple tree,

Instead of waiting in line for a visa.

I should have been born at other times,

Maybe my inspiration would have been real,

Just like the dust that all travelers leave on their path.

These days, there is no dust. Only carpeted airports.

Kwan Yin Invocation

Tweet

I call upon the goddess Kwan Yin,

The great Mother of Compassion and love,

She who hears and answers the cries of all our hearts;

She who carries the pearl of wisdom

And pours forth a stream of healing waters.

Oh compassionate one, please bless me with your spiritual peace

Oh Mother of Mercy, Kwan Yin.

You who hears the weeping of the world

And comforts our souls

Come to answer our prayers!

Come to soothe our pain!

Compassionate goddess, who never refuses a prayer,

We ask for peace,

For the banishment of anger, fear, and hatred,

For your love and for your compassion

To be poured upon the Earth and all of us

Oh gracious Kwan Yin,

We ask for your blessing today and every day.

With love and compassion,

Be with me now, I pray!

Oh blessed Kwan Yin

Song Of Proserpine

Sacred Goddess, Mother Earth,

Thou from whose immortal bosom

Gods and men and beasts have birth,

Leaf and blade, and bud and blossom,

Breathe thine influence most divine

On thine own child, Proserpine. If with mists of evening dew

Thou dost nourish these young flowers

Till they grow in scent and hue

Fairest children of the Hours,

Breathe thine influence most divine

On thine own child, Proserpine.

Magick Calling Quarters

Tweet

Quarters

Quarters, watchtowers, guardians, elements, etc., are "extras" to your circle and spellwork. Once again, this is an area of great diversity for Witches.

The quarters correspond to the four elements and the four cardinal directions. (East-Air, South-Fire, West-Water, North-Earth.)

When calling the quarters, some Witches call on the powers of the elements. Others call on elementals. Some call on angels. Some on guardians.

Before calling the quarters, you need to decide: 1 - Who are you inviting and 2- What will their job be? To protect? To guard? To join in? To aid?

Make sure your wording properly reflects what you are asking of the quarters.

Examples:

Hail! Guardian of the Watchtower of the (direction)

Powers of (-)

II bid thee come into my circle bright

Protect/Aid me in my magick/sacred Rite

O spirits of the (direction)

Ancient one of (element)

I call you to attend this circle

Charge this by your powers

Hail, Guardians of the Watchtowers of the (direction)

Powers of (element)

I invoke you and call upon you

Be here now

To the (direction), I ask the element of (name) and (name of archangel/totem/deity) to be with me, to guard, guide and witness this magic. (By Christopher Penczak)
