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.)

Current Moon Phase for March 4th – Waxing Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waxing/26% illumination)

During this Moon phase, there is a slight slowing down of enthusiasm due to an emerging desire to produce tangible results from the energy being expended. The issue of values enters into the equation and an urge to tie together the data available so that you can utilize current opportunities. There is still plenty of forward motion, and this is a great time to continue initiating and progressing forward. This Moon phase favors gaining more information and the input of others to further your plans.

The Witches Magick For March 4th

Stay On The Path Charm

Staying on the path to better health takes effort and resolve. The rewards are well worth it so use all your resources to remain focused.

For this charm, use a white candle and a white stone you find in nature.

At 10:00 p.m., light the candle. Clean the stone thoroughly, and put it on your altar. Say this prayer when you need some divine help to stay on your path:

 

Dear Goddess and God, I pray you
Help me stay on the path
To healing and better health
Strengthen my will and spirit
So that I make healthier choices
Every night and every day
Thank you divine Lady and Lord!
Blessed Be!

Good Morning To All My Dear Brothers & Sisters of the Craft!

Have a Great Day Images

Good morning, my sweets! How are you doing today? I hope super fantastic! Had any snowball fights recently? We have four inches of snow on the ground here under it is ice. A super fun mess to navigate in. And just in case you were wondering, I have not went crazy by changing the graphics again. You see the snow has a lot to do with that.

I woke up yesterday morning and it was snowing so bad you couldn’t even see across the road. The day before we had temps in the 60’s. Now they are down to 10 degrees plus the snow. I just got cabin fever and spring fever real bad. SNOW! When is it ever going to end, HAAAAAA! So I came to the site and looked at it. Dark, dark, very dark. I couldn’t stand it. I needed a boost of Spring some where and this turned out to be it. Now today, after it is finished, I came to the site and suddenly felt there is hope for Spring to eventually show up. I can’t wait either. The first day of Spring, I am running to the pond. I plan on having my fishing pole and be leaning up against the old tree there. Whether I get a bite or not does matter. Spring will be here!

I hope wherever you are you have a super fantastic day!

Luv & Hugs,
Lady A
