Friday, April 8th

Friday is the day of Venus. It takes it name from Frigg, the Goddess of love and transformation. She rules the spiritual side of a person that manifests in the physical. Because of this, Friday is often thought of as dangerously unpredictable. This is expressed in an old East Anglian adage:

Friday’s day will have its trick
The fairest or foulest day of the week.

Did You Know Friday…

The new moon, the dark moon, begins the two waxing quarters of the lunar cycle. Confusingly, however the crescent moon is often called the new moon, too. This second phase is identified with the maiden or virgin. She is described as a young and beautiful woman and is related to the goddess Artemis or Diana. The waxing moon is a time of beginnings and growth. It is traditional to plant herbs when the moon is in the signs of Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio.

Thank The Goddess It Is Finally Friday! May You Have A Very Beautiful & Blessed Day!

Celtic Witch

An it Harm None

This world would be a better place,
If everyone believed,
The pagan rule of bring no harm,
To those who live and breath,
But that’s an idealogoly,
That can never be fulfilled,
For religions all around the world,
Bear other faiths I’ll will.

They all say they are peaceful,
They say their God is right,
They say that if you don’t believe,
You should forfeit your life,
Just look back at history,
And even here today,
Religion is not peaceful,
No matter to whom you pray.

A world without religion?
That’s never going to be,
For faiths will fight to put their God,
On the pinnacle of the tree,
And if there’s no religion,
What then will man fight for?
For man must fight for something,
He must always be at war.

You know my friends, it seems to me,
That whatever you believe,
We only want to live in peace,
But that will never be,
For God will be on both sides,
Fighting against himself,
And we are mere pawns in His game,
His game of cat and mouse.

But we could thwart His little game,
If we only had the will,
To turn our back on evil things,
And bear no one I’ll will,
Following the pagan way,
With nature we’d be one,
And we would praise the morning dew,
And the setting of the sun.
