Good morning, precious, precious family! I hope everyone is safe and well today. I stop to think about all the events occurring in the world right now and I don’t know even where to start. It seems like every part of this great planet of ours there is turmoil, killing, bombing, flooding, a tanker lost at sea, such a tremendous lost of life. It is unbelievable, it truly is. Why is all this happening?
It started with the Full Moon and its eclipse, the fanatics came out of the woodwork. They were all screaming, “the ends of days has started.” It amazes me how people are wishing for the world to come to an end. I have to go back to my half & half up-bringing. I remember studying from a certain book that said, “no one would know the time of the last day of this earth.” In the Craft, you never hear mention of end of days. We never even think about it, we strongly believe in reincarnation. Well, at least I strongly believe in it because I have seen some of my past lives (oh brother, have I!). I believe our souls go to the Summerland and when we are ready we reincarnate again. There is never a mention of the end of the world, NEVER! It’s another one of those things not in our vocabulary. I also believe it is used as a scare tactic to get those who have left mainstream religion to return to it. All I can say is that they need to walk just one day in our shoes and meet our Divine Mother. Understand our beliefs, feel her love, her compassion and her blessings she bestows upon her children. Then perhaps their tune would change.
I know some of you are scratching your heads wondering why I am even bringing this up. It is because we have had a lot of members come to us from different faiths. Those faiths do talk about and described the end of days. I want to reassure the ones that come from those faiths, this is not the end of days. As Pagans, Witches, and Wiccans (I know I left a few out but I would fill up the page naming all of them), our Divine Mother promises us rebirth. I know this is a promise She keeps and I believe it is one of the greatest gifts we could ever have been given.
Events that are happening now in our world have happened in the past. No one knows why, all we can do is hope and pray for a good out come when these events occur. There are so many right now that need our prayers, our love, our support and most of all our strength. We have stood strong in other events like these, we have to stand strong once more. We have to pray that the tanker lost at sea, is found and their crew is safe. We have to pray for our brothers & sisters on the East coast. You might not realize it but we do have a large number of brothers & sisters over there. Pray the Goddess keeps them safe and well. Those who have already perished, pray that the Goddess guides them gently home in her loving arms. The Doctors Without Borders, pray for those that lost their lives and pray for their family and loved ones. Pray for the victims of the shootings in Oregon as they start the grieving and healing process. There are so many, I am sure I have left some out and I sincerely apologize for that. It is just overwhelming.
If there ever was a time for us to stand as one and ask the Goddess to bless our world and heal it, it is now. Take time out today to remember all those who are suffering both mentally and physically. They need our prayers and they need our Goddess. Please for the sake of mankind, say a prayer today for all of us.
Have a very blessed day, my Luvs,

Thank you, Lady A, for reminding me of the truth and not fall for beliefs of the end of the world but believe in the Summerland and being reincarnated. Pray for staying strong in this belief and in the family of the craft! Blessings to All!

You are more than welcome, Greg. I occasionally preach around here if you haven’t noticed, lol! Blame it on my roots! I just occasionally get sick of all the fanatics scaring the general public with their end of world bull. I just thought of something funny. You know we have a chatroom right? Well one night, a friend and myself were chatting away, having a very nice conversation, in fact. Out of the blue a strange person pops in. We get to talking to him and we found out his is a Christian. Then he finds out we are witches, oh, brother, you ought to have heard him then. I am a hot head, if I get attacked, I am going to attack back. It is an Irish thing, lol! My friend is much more even tempered. He made the comment to the other person, “well you know we are going to be around for a very long time. Since you ain’t coming back, want to hire one of us to babysit your pets?” You can imagine that sort of made the other person mad and he left. Well it might not be that funny when I tell it but it was hilarious at the time (you just had to have been there).
There will always be those who try to scare others into their ways of beliefs. We just have to remember our teachings and the promise of our Divine Mother. Also remember the beauty of our religion compared to others. Our Goddess has never asked us to kill in her name. We can feel and see her presence around us every waking moment. And I know for a fact her promise of reincarnation is very real, I have seen some of my past lives, oh boy, have I! I will share this with you real quick this hush before I bore you to tears. When I was very young, someone delved into my past for me. This person when real far back and I mean far. She ended up telling me I was a prophet for Jesus at one time. Well, you can imagine my thoughts on that subject. Anyway, after that I decided if I wanted to find out about my past lives, I would do it on my own. Funny, I haven’t ever found that prophet I was suppose to have been yet, hmm….Makes me sort of wonder now if I wasn’t trying to be converted. People will do anything and say anything to get you to their religion. Always follow your heart and your soul and you will never go wrong.
I have a sense about you, Greg, that you will stand strong in your faith. I hope you have a very beautiful and blessed night.
Thank you for being a part of our family,
Lady A

There is a link to it at the top of the site, look under Other WOTC sites. Right now we haven’t used it in a while but we are planning on have a get together either this weekend or next. It was also built for anyone that wished to speak to us about the Craft or any other issues. We don’t have a set schedule, I don’t conform to well with schedules. Anyone is welcome to use it and it is open all the time.
We will have to have a chat sometime,
Till then,
Lady A
