As we make ready for the full moon you can feel the Goddess within you.
As you lite your candle you can feel her drawn to you.
The magick surrounds you and your work begins.
As you give your Blessing please pray for those whose voices are not heard.
For the birds in our skies.
For the fish in our seas.
For the animals that roam our forest,plains and deserts.
For the animals who live in terror and pain.
For our pets who love and devotion is never ending.
For the children who cry themselves to sleep
For the elderly who live in distress.
For those who hunger is not a stranger.
For those who live in fear.
For those who do not know comfort or love. Whose days are as dark as nite.
We as her children have a responsibility for the voices who are not heard.
We are their voices, will you raise yours loud and strong for those who have none.

Young Witches
It has been very interesting in meeting young witches.By young I mean they have not been in the craft for a long.What they concentrate and want to do is the magick.I have noticed they do not explore the true base of the craft.
For me magick is important but it is not the center of my practice.It enhances my practice.What is the most important is the why a interact with the world around me and I do man the world around me..
The plants and animals are as important to me as people.As I get older and grow in my practice I see that what is important does shift for me.My heart aches when I see what we have done to our surroundings.what we have done to our forests.What we have done to the animals around us.We are destroying so much and each time a portion of the world is destroyed we lose apart of ourselves.There is nothing that is more important than to save what we have for our future and those who will come after us. Every time there is an out cry we lose something dear and close to us.
The wolves are being slaughtered.Cats and dogs are skinned alive for their fur. Whales hunted for there oil. Bears tracked due to "over population". We hunt each other and kill due to differences.Babies cry in hunger and pain. The elderly live in fear.Where has the compassion gone.
I do know that it is there,but sometimes it seems so little compared to the damage being made.
each time we protect,protest and provide we make a change.
Being a witch to me is that.To protect, to protest and to provide.My practice comes from my core and extend out wards.I help younger witches see that our connection with the Goddess and Mother Earth is what being a witch means...

Forgiveness
There has been times in my present and past that I have wanted to forgive and to ask forgiveness for what I have said and heard....
Words are very powerful and they should not be used lightly.
Once the words are out you can not take them back.
Once they are said they whirl around in the heart and the mind to whom they were spoken to.
Once they are spoken they can return with pain attached to them.
Once they are loose they can cause pain and hurt.
Once they are spoken the person to hears them, will hear them as they hear them
Once they are spoken you can not say they were wrongly spoken.They have been let free...
I ask that the words I speak I will remember to be said with caution and compassion...because I have learn what is said can not be unsaid....I will remember what power words have especially when spoken in anger and hurt.This is a lesson I have learned and want to pass on.
