How sweet the Earth,
That bore a Witch like me.
I once was burned,
Now I survive.
Was Hanged but now I sing.
‘Twas Grace, That Drew
Down the Moon,
and Grace that Raised
the Seas,
The Magick in,
The people’s Will
Will Set our Mother Free.
We Face The East,
and breathe the winds,
That move across the Earth,
From gentle breeze to hurricane,
our breath will bring forth change.
Turn Towards the South,
and Feel the Fire,
That burns in you and me,
The Spirit’s flame shall rise again,
and Burn Eternally.
We Greet the West
Our Souls awash,
In Tides of Primal Birth,
Our Pain and blood, Our Tears and love
Shall cleanse and heal the Earth.
Reach in to North,
and Know your roots,
Down Deep ancestral Caves.
We find the Wisdom of the Crone,
of Circles we are made.
Amazing Grace
How Sweet the Earth
That bore Witches like We.
We once were burned
Now we survive
were hanged and now we sing.
Goddess bless,
So mote it be
Our Magick Spirals on,
Merry meet and Merry Part
and Merry meet Again.
Good Morning, dear family and friends! I hope with all my heart all of your loved ones are safe and sound. I watched the tragedy last night and again this morning. Seeing images like those being shown on TV will depress the best of us. Really. Just over and over again. I know, turn off the damn TV. I changed the channel simplest thing to do.
I was thinking this morning here recently we have been doing a lot of praying on this site. Haven’t we? I know some might see it as odd especially on a Witchcraft site. But to me, praying to my Goddess is very comforting. I can feel Her Warmth and Love. It is just like my mind is wiped cleaned for a minute. Nothing to think about, I am at peace with myself and the world. I have forgot all the problems that exists. The tears in my eyes are replaced with a sparkle of Her Love. She fills the void of hopeless in my life. With Her all things are possible.
If you think there is too much prayer on this site, I am sorry. But you see now the Goddess is my rock, She is my All. For without Her, I am nothing. She is my Almighty Mother with whom all things are possible.
Goddess Bless You & Yours,
Lady A
May 20 – Daily Feast
Many of us would gladly take the responsibility of hurt for those we love. We feel we would be more capable of bearing it, more apt to handle it. We want to leave them as unscathed and near perfect as possible. But we cannot take some people’s problems. They must use their own strength and learn what is true and false in living. Not so different from us, they might not take the wisest steps. It many also be hard for them to believe that our experiences have ever been as wretched as their own. It is difficult not to cry with those we love. Our hearts cry, even when frustration makes our faces stern and stoic. But we have to allow other people to put down their feet and take a stand. How can they become strong in their own right if we try to be in their legs?
~ Sometimes we prayed in silence; sometimes each one prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person prayed for all of us….and to Usen. ~

‘A Cherokee Feast of Days’, by Joyce Sequichie Hifler

Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a green cloth set growing herbs and flowers in pots, a pitcher of rainwater, small dishes of late-sowed seeds such as lettuce (as many as there are people), a flower wreath, and a single green candle.

Media Ver Invocation
Earth, you have awakened to our touch!
The winds have stirred you,
The rain has nourished you,
The sun has opened your eyes.
Your million mouths open
On the unfolded leaves of every tree.
We glory in your abundance,
In the dance of your youth,
And we dance for your brilliant life
And your new season.
Yet now is the time when the real work begins.
If we would keep what we have sown,
We must not stop here,
But we must labor for the sustenance
Of our creation, as it has always been.
For the first growth is a miracle from the Gods,
But the second growth is the miracle unseen,
From the labor of our hands,
Which is also sacred.
Chant:
Green growing
Green Man knowing
Path of striving
Way of opening
(Each takes a pot of seeds and goes to the garden, and hoes or otherwise prepares a space for planting, and then plants their seeds, chanting while doing so. The pitcher of rainwater is carried out and ritually poured onto the seeds. Weeding should also be done at this time, and the care for plants that have already broken the surface.)
