Macbeth, Act IV, Scene I [Round about the cauldron go]
by William Shakespeare – 1564-1616
The three witches, casting a spell
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Close to the Goddess
Spring comes and I feel close to the
Goddess! She is pregnant with many possibilities
of the season. She is dressed in the greens of Spring.
Goddess! She is pregnant with many possibilities
of the season. She is dressed in the greens of Spring.
Summer is here and I am close to the Goddess!
The ripening of crops showing springs promises
fulfilled. She is clothed in the bright colors of
Summer flowers
Fall arrives and I am close to the Goddess!
We remember those who we lost this year and
our ancestors of those who have come before
us. She is clothed in red, golds, orange and brown.
Winter comes, and I am close to the Goddess!
Celebration of the arrival of the Holly King. The Goddess
is draped in whites, reds and greens of the season.
Seasons come and seasons go, I feel near to
the Goddess in each. She is present and eternal.
She is close to me and I, Her.

The Cauldron Chant
We form the Circle,
The Circle most round.
We form the Chalice,
The Chalice now found.
We call the Goddess,
to meet the great need.
We call the God,
To plant His fertile seed.
We call the quarters,
which we call four.
We summon the powers,
that contain the force.
We stir the Cauldron,
from which we were born.
We call the Gods,
from whom we were torn.
We say the words,
which lead us round.
We pass the kiss,
with our lovers found.
We face our dreams,
in nights psychic flight.
We face our hopes,
in bright moon of the night.
We face our fears,
on the Dark Lords Horn.
We face our failure,
in the Mothers new planted corn.
We live our lives,
druming and dancing on the meadow.
We confront our Death,
in the dancing moon light shadow.
Our paths run quickly,
on fleet foot and wing.
Our Circle is joyous,
with our Queens and our Kings.
Let our little Circle be happy,
with Bell, Bowl or Bow.
And form now this Circle,
with gracious Love, Joy and Hope.

(A Thought for Today) How Do You Measure a Soldier’s Sacrifice? c. 2018
IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO SERVE AND THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS LEFT AT HOME.
How Do You Measure a Soldier’s Sacrifice?
How do you measure a soldier’s sacrifice?
Is it by the number of friends and family left behind?
Is it by the months or years given in service?
How do you measure a soldier’s courage?
Is it by the number of objectives completed,
Or by the number of bullets dodged or missions served?
How do you measure a soldier’s honor?
Is it by the duty he or she volunteers for,
Or by the number of medals earned?
The simple truth is that these things are immeasurable,
As is this country’s debt to all who serve,
And pay the price for freedom in this land.
Our Hearts and Our Words Can Never Express Our Thanks to All
Who Have fought and died and those still serving to this day for your sacrifices
and never questioning when there is a need you go,
You go to defend our freedom, our rights and our privileges we enjoy in this great country.
Thank you for your service to our great country.
May the Goddess Bless Those Who have Made the Ultimate Sacrifice
And May She Watch Over and Protect Those Still Serving Our Great Nation To To This Day.
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Come home safely our brave soliders
Come home safely!
Thank you for all you have given us.

A Thought for Today
When we have positive thoughts positive results do happen.
This includes finding Mr. or Ms. Right for you. Lord Beltane, or Big Dawg as he prefers to be called, and I dated from a year back in 2000 to 2001, I then broke it off for a man I thought was more stable and better for me. Boy was I wrong I allowed myself to be verbally, emotionally, and mentally abused for 19 years then the last straw came when in anger he destroyed an entire rack full of clean dishes, cups, and glass ware. He had lost his temper many times before but only pushed me once. When putting these two things together and having a history of domestic abuse with other boyfriends and husbands I finally found the excuses I was making of why I couldn’t move out were just that lame excuses. Thanks to some very dear friends and a cousin of mine I was able to move out the beginning of July 2020 and start life as what I thought would be a single woman the rest of this lifetime. So fast forward to September 2020 Big Dawg found me on Facebook through a mutual friend and start out by messaging through there than went to text messages and by the end of the month talking nightly on the phone. I moved in with him at the end of November 2020 and we are trying to plan a very small summer wedding and Handfasting. We have not had a major argument or even screaming to get a point across in the over two years we have lived together. It took us 19 years to find each other again but we both had for a lack of a better term growing up to do.
A little back history of why we are waiting so long to get married and handfasted. See back when we were first dating, he was married with two grammar school age children, NO I did not know this right away or I never would have dated him in the first place. Big Dawgs divorce was finalized in August 2022. I was also married and technically until my divorce is final hopefully by sometime in April, but my husband (not the abusive boyfriend of 19 years) and I have been separated since right after new year in 2000. I left him because he started using heavy duty drugs again among other very not nice reasons.
As you can see in my case taking positive steps to first love and be kind yourself Mr. or Ms. Wonderful maybe around a corner you turn one day. Love is patience and kind.
