Media Hiems Invocation

Earth that lies asleep
Waiting for the touch of the Sun
To grow in strength and light
And awaken thee to life,
We warm thee with our breath,
We prepare thee with our hands,
We plant thee with our hopes,
We await thy awakening
With faith in the coming of Spring.

Chant:
Breath warms thee
Hands prepare thee
Hope sows thee
Sun awaken thee.

(All take seeds and plant them in the pots of earth, water them, and breathe onto them, visualizing the seeds awakening and growing. The remainder of the water is poured out as a libation to the Earth. The pots are then taken to the greenhouse in procession to be nurtured until planting time.)

The Wicca Book of Days for March 4th – Regal Rhiannon

The Wicca Book of Days for March 4th

Regal Rhiannon

Rhiannon, a Celtic Goddess who was initially linked with the moon and livestock, was traditionally venerated on this day in pre-Christian Wales. Initially, Rhiannon was known as the wife of Pwyll, the king of Dyfed, and as the mother of Pryderi who was falsely accused of killing her infant son.  Later tales credited her with powers of enchantment and equated her with Nimue and Viviane, both of whom may be identified with the Lady of the Lake in Arthurian legend. As a Lunar Goddess, Rhiannon was envisaged riding a white mare and surrounded by flocks of small birds honoring her as the bringer of the seasons

 

The Power of Four

The number four has many harmonious associations, being th number of balance and the earth, as well as of the four elements, seasons, and cardinal directions. A square, which has four equal sides, symbolize four, so perhaps wear a square ring, pendant or brooch today.

Good Sunday Morning to all my lovely friends!

Today’s Thought for March 4th

The Spirit flashes, like a salmon leaping. Although a salmon may be caught on a hook, the fisherman has no way to capture its beauty.

Meditation for March 4th

The Five-Pointed Star

The pentacle is a symbol of cosmic union, comprised of two interlocking triangles. The narrow triangle pointing upward indicates the masculine heaven principle; the wider, central triangle pointing downward, the feminine earth principle. Meditating on the pentacle aligns you with the cosmos, harmonizing the complementary energies of masculine and feminine within your nature.
