In Kildare the Priestesses kept the Sacred Flame.
It is said, It still burns today.
May the Goddess,
In all Her aspects
Remain always, In Our hearts.

But Brigid is not a Christian saint, she thought, even if Patricius
thinks so. That is the Goddess as she is worshipped in Ireland.
And I know it, and even if they think otherwise, these women know the power
of the Immortal. Exile her, as they may, she will prevail.
The Goddess will never withdraw herself from mankind.
- Marion Zimmer Bradley,
The Mists of Avalon

"A religion without a goddess is halfway to atheism."
- Dion Fortune

First Quarter Moon

Monday, January 30th the Moon will
be at it's first quarter phase.
Time to take a time out from manifesting.
STOP
LOOK
ADJUST

Midpoint is perfect for making changes.
Sometimes Our goals, plans don't go exactly as
We hope.
So We regroup. rethink. Work out those "kinks".
Use this time wisely.
May You see a little more clearly as You move toward your goals

Welcome 2012

My Foray into the Internet began with this blog.
I met some wonderful people including Debra, whose blog
She who speaks always puts a smile on My face;
more often makes me laugh;
There's been Callie, whose blog is a beautiful & comfy place,
Who generously gifted me with Her crafts.
And it was here that I met My Dear friend Irmina, Doll with a Soul.
Irmina is creating a series of Goddess Dolls for My New Website.
I haven't spent much time at My blog,
not as much as I should.
This blog IS where I honor theGoddess.

There are many things to juggle this year.
My professional work as a Reader, My upcoming Website,
Time.
Time for family, friends
This year I will make time for My blog,
Even if it's only 1 hour a week.
For this blog is a Sacred Space,
Where I share Her name
Her words
Her guidance
To those Who seek to listen.

Welcome 2012
A year of change
May We be the better for it

Blessings,

Sacred Days of The Sun/Son

This coming week is a very Sacred time.
Tonight is the first night of Chanukah,
Thurs is the arrival of the Winter Solstice/Yule here
& the arrival of the Summer Solstice for
Our friends on the other side of the equator.
Christmas arrives on the Eve Dec 24th,
The Birth of Heru- Son of Isis arrives Dec 25th...
All celebrations of the light.
For the Hebrews, The miracle of the oil burned for 8 days.
The Solstice is the celebration of the Sun,
Christmas for Christians honors the birth of the Son ;
As does The Feast of Heru for the Egyptians...
All these ancient people honored the light,
For the light meant hope then
As it does today.
May the Sun/Son shine upon Your path,
May You always have Hope,
May We remember Our commonality & cast aside Our differences.
May Your holidays Be Blessed

Hecate - Day of the Crossroads

Today We celebrate Her...
She whose torch illuminates Our path.
May I remain humble in Her service
Yet May I always know My power
She who name is loved by those who know Her
She who is feared by those who do not understand
The Path to the Goddess is never simple
But for those willing to walk it
It brings Great Reward
Hecate/Isis/Aset
I AM Your Daughter
I rise up with My Sisters
And Speak Your Name proudly
Hecate
Great Mother
