A New Years' Wish - Return to Grace

Grace,
Refinement
Dignity
A sense of propriety
Grace,
Goodwill
Generosity
Mercy
Grace,
Is Divine love


Today, It seems grace is sadly lacking in our society.
With the Advent of Cell phones & Internet
Propriety is out of fashion.
At any given time
One can find someone spewing unkind words at another.
Personal issues are no longer personal
but posted for the world to see.

People proudly bandy about their use/abuse of
Alcohol & prescription meds
They discuss their love lives, family, friends
They call it "venting"

Fellow Pagans putting down one another.
Pagans putting down Christians and other religions
Those in the Craft claiming Their way is The Way...

What happened to Grace?
A basic tenet of The Craft of The Wise is
To Know Grace
Knowing Grace is Compassion towards others
Knowing Grace is kindness
Knowing Grace is restraint
Knowing Grace is to be Humble
Knowing Grace is To Honor & Respect the Divine,
In all we do.

Isis/Aset/Hecate
May your daughters rise up
May they bring your words to light
May they show the way
May we return to grace

The Solstice, The Full Moon & An Eclipse

This Tuesday marks the arrival of the Solstice.
This particular Solstice arrives during a Full Moon
& a lunar eclipse.

The Solstice itself is a time for looking inward.
A time of reflection
But it is also a time of Magick
During a Solstice/Full Moon
All sorts of wonderful magick can be manifested
So now we have a Solstice/Full Moon/Eclipse
All manner of Magick can manifest here, right?

Well, not exactly.
This eclipse arrives during a VOID
In my time zone, EST
The eclipse/void arrives at 3:13 AM
Now most of us understand voids.
In fact I'm sure many have experienced
Magick gone awry,
Only to find there was a void during the working.

Does this mean we don't work any magick?
Of course not.
We rearrange.
We work before the eclipse.
Do we get the benefit of the Eclipse?
Yes and No
No, We will not reap any magickal benefit
From this particular eclipse
Yes, It brings a special spiritual significance

The Celestial Event is full of Spiritual Energy
Change is coming
She is rising
In different cultures,
Called by many names
She is calling to Her children
Could this be a precursor to the Aquarian Age?
I don't know
But what I do know,
This is Magick of the greatest kind

Tarot on Tuesdays

This Tuesday I'll be providing the reading.
Join us on FB and post your questions before
6PM on Monday!

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice
We honor The Mother Goddess
The birth of the son/sun,
Brings forth hope, renewal
The cycle of life continues
The Wheel of the year turns
Season to Season

The Circle of life
From the barren winter season
The flame of hope burns
Guiding us,
Reminding us of the seedling
Ready to break through the frozen Earth
To begin the cycle again

A gift from The Great Mother
The Son/Sun is that seedling
Her gift to us.
Hope
Faith
Love

As we light our candles
As we burn the Yule log
May we always be thankful
May we honor the Wheel
May we know that Hope & Love is eternal, if we have faith

Rhiannon's Dream Blend

Rhiannon's Dream Blend
Intuitive Goddess

Rhiannon, Lunar Goddess
It is said that on Yule Rhiannon visits;
She enters our dreams, learns our desires
& guides us.
The following can be placed in a sachet,
(any type of small bag) or if you're feerling
crafty, you could make a pillow.

A bag or cloth - White or Silver

1 teaspoon of the following Herbs:
Mugwort - To grant vision
Thyme - To call the Fey, Rhiannon is a Fairy Queen
Catnip or Mint - Attraction, Cats sacred to Rhiannon
Jasmine - Lunar, Sacred to Rhiannon

A small piece of quartz

** I do not recommend using oils in the blends
as the scent can be too overpowering & traditionally
we have only used the herbs

Manifesting Magick through Dreams

Dream Weaving,
Manifesting Magick during the dream state.
More than Dream interpretation
More than receiving messages
Dream weaving is Active.

We begin by creating a Dream Altar.
A sacred space for the preparation
& workings of dream magick.
Keep your dream altar as close to your sleeping
area as possible.
It can be as simple as a piece of quartz & some fresh
lavender or as elaborate as Statuary to a Dream Goddess
such as Rhiannon,
Items to assist you in Dream State &
Offerings to Spirit/ Goddess/God

Manifesting in Dream State is working
in another realm.
That which applies to manifestation during
waking hours does not apply to dream state.
We do not work with voids,
nor astrological correspondences
Days of the week - do not matter on the astral plane.

So what do we work with?
Herbs, crystals, stones
Paper & pen
We create teas to drink before sleep
We lay herbs under our pillows or
Create sachets, Dream pillows
We place crystals under our pillow,
We wear them
We write our desires upon a paper
placed upon our dream altar,
We place them in our sachets, pillows
We pray, we call upon Spirit, Our Higher Selves,
The Great Mother
Then we dream
We make it so
Dream a little magick into your life

Dream Weaving

Dreams
Sometimes prophetic, often analyzed
Our dreams speak to us
Dreams offer us an opportunity to exist in another realm.

Our dreams can be a guide or a blueprint
Dreams can be a doorway to manifesting
The ancients knew this.

In Egypt, Priestesses of Isis prepared Herbs
of prophetic sleep
For they knew that She shall come in time of dreams
Guiding Her daughters.

In Native American cultures,
Medicine Men & Women use their dreams
to manifest a world for their children and their children's children.

Today Dream Weaving although almost a lost art;
Remains a powerful manifestation tool.
For in Dream State we enter another realm
We exist in a place of possibilities
We coexist with Spirit, Our higher selves
It is here The Great Mother breathes life into our dreams.
So before heading off to sleep,
Spend some time in the silence
Map your dreams, visualize your world
Bring Her an offering
Call to the Great Mother
May She guide your dreams

Tarot on Tuesdays

Joining us today is Althea, Fairyguidemother.
Althea works with the Fey, using oracle cards.
Among Her favorites are Brian Froud's decks.
Post a question to Althea before 6PM on
our FB page!

Winter Solstice

Solstice Eve
On this, the longest night
Winter arrives
For our ancestors, food was scarce
Fire,essential to survival
