Tall and straight as the ash tree grows
all the things that Athena knows
Smooth and sharp as an athame blade
All the color of an autumn glade

Fires at Beltane jumping high
Watch the bees buzzing by
A silver bell ringing bright
A besom sweep makes it right
C
Stir a cauldron round and round
Cast a circle on the ground
Catch a crystal in your hand
Light a candle if you canD
A raven dips and dives in the dark
Demeter makes things grow in the park
Dragon dozing in his lair
Dance with delight, do as you dare

In the early east, an eagle flies
In an elder elm, her one egg lies

Flight and a feather, often together
Fish and fin, go for a swim

Find a fox, on nature walks

The God and Goddess are all around
From sky above to grass on the ground

Visit a grave to honor the ghost
H
Horus hears as a hawk flies high
Hemlock hills are rolling by

Sit on Hestia’s warm hearth rug
Little Pagan Acorns

Isis whispers in the night
Is there incense left to light?

Inner spirit can be found

Catch a firefly in a jelly jar
Jump for joy when you see that star

Join your hands under the moon

Together like a lock and key

Making mischief all alone

Nearby nests sit snug and good
Notice knots, they hold in power

Osiris has two but Odin only one
Color eggs at Ostara, that’s always fun

Don’t get confused, a goblin’s not a troll

A pile of puppies makes a cute heap
The pentacle protects sacred space
Pansies and petunias have a pretty face

With waxing moon, the sky is lit

Yarrow and tansy in a vase
Sitting on some yellow lace

Zeus in a fez, do what he says
Zebras in zoos, time for a snooze
Wander the maze, the ancient ways
Need for some zen? Just say when
You have what it takes to deal with this turmoil, onw where events have taken a different turn from what you expect. Recall those times when you’ve faced adversity, when you had to dig deep inside yourself to discover the internal resources and the will to continue onward. As you recall those memories, beware of how the feel in your body. Anchor those feelings by calling on to them to shore your courage and help you maintain your dignity. By dealing with this situation head-on and paying attention to the nuances of the shifting energies, your inner wisdom will dictate when to move ahead and when to retreat, helping you sustain your power throughout.
By maintaining this stance, you’re not only protecting yourself physically and emotionally, but also spiritually. Call upon the Warrior inside, the archetypal aspect of yourself that’s charged with defending the inner kingdom and the archetypal King or Queen. This is one of those times when you definitely need to be assertive with others, saying no when necessary, asking for what you want, and sustaining your physical and emotional boundaries. Pull your shoulders back, lift your head up, look straight ahead, and keep a relaxed vigilance. Do your best not to complain and be a martyr about what you’re involved in presently, for it will only drag you down.
Associations: Ferocity; Strength; Clarity; Focus; Persistence; Personal Power; Cunningness; Perseverance; Adaptability; Shapeshifting; Invisibility; Scavenging; Resourcefulness; Survival; Endurance; Balance; Wildness

What an extremely interesting article! I knew there were many things misconstrued about Her, but I didn’t realize how largely Hekate is misunderstood and wrongly judged.
If Her critics only realized who they were underestimating!
That’s incredibly beautiful and profound! I love that🌒🌓🌔🌕🌗🌖🌘
Blessed be.

The Greek Goddess of Fate is a daughter of Nyx, Goddess of the Night. In Her singular form, the Goddess of Fate is called Moira; and in Her triple form She becomes three sisters known as the Moirae. The Moirae are: Klotho the Spinner, who spins the thread of a person’s life; Lachesis the Measurer, who decides how much time is to be allowed each person, and Atropos the Cutter, who cuts the thread when you are supposed to die. The name ‘Moira’ actually means ‘part‘ and in fact, the triple form of the Fates mimics the triple moon phases and the three phases of life – maiden, mother and crone. Moira is known to the Romans as Fortuna, to the Scandinavians as Norns, to the Anglo-Saxons as Wyrd, and to the Celts as Morrigan. During the middle ages, the Fates became known as the Parcae.
As the spinner of Fate, Moira spins out the days of our lives as yarn and weaves it into a tapestry. The length of the yarn – hence your life span – is decided solely by the Goddess of Fate. All the Gods are subject to the whims of the Fates as are mortal man. Because of this, even though the other Gods are almighty, and supposedly immortal, even Hera has reason to fear Moira. Moira’s function is to see that the natural order of things is respected and She possesses the gift of prophecy – Her priests and priestesses are always oracles or soothsayers (seers of the future). Moira is often accompanied by the Keres (Dogs of Hades), who are three beings with sharp teeth and who are robed in red. In ancient times, the Fates were honored by sacrifices of honey and flowers.
Moira is associated with December’s full moon – which is often called the Cold Moon or the Wolf Moon. The colors of Moira are red, black and white.
Thinking about taking up the runes? Mastery of the runes can take many years, but it is not difficult for a beginner to learn the basics. (Much as young children can quickly learn their ABCs.) The first learning tool you’ll need is a rune set of your own, to begin familiarizing yourself with this ancient system of knowledge.
First, some background: Runes are archaic European letters used in magick and divination. The best-known runic alphabet is the Elder Futhark, which contains 24 symbols.There are other rune systems, such as the Younger Futhark, Northumbrian runes, and Witches’ runes. But most of the time, when people talk about reading runes, they are referring to the Elder Futhark, which fell out of use as an alphabet around the 8th century AD.
Each rune has a threefold meaning: A phonetic sound (as a letter of the alphabet), a mundane object or action that it stands for, and a mystical or abstract significance. Rune-casting—or reading the runes—is a way to activate intuition and gather information about the past, present and future. Runic symbols have powerfully condensed meaning. Sometimes, a single letter says something that paragraphs cannot.
