Blessings

Merry meet,
I want you all to know that your in my thoughts and my prayers. Every time I light my prayer candle, every person and family that is in need of assistance or just need prayers. When my candle is lit, my love and care is sent out to you all and to mother earth.
She is in need of assistance as well. We must help each other and help our great mother!
Blessed be!

Prayer

Merry meet, I came up with this while waiting on my husband outside a gun store one day. It was spur of the moment so I had written it down on a piece of napkin but it goes like this:

"I call upon air to keep breath in my lungs.
I call upon fire to keep my blood flowing.
I call upon water to keep my body sated.
I call upon earth to keep my body nourished.
I call upon the spirit of my ancestors to give me strength.
I call upon the Lord and Lady to shower these gifts upon myself and my family,
I call upon your protection to what is mine and yours.
So mote it be"

It just came to me and so I figure that I would write it down before I forget. I now have it saved on my tablet so I can write it in my book later on.
I had another prayer too but I can't find it now.
I wrote that two or three days ago and the day after ostara, I saw two beautiful small butterflies dancing out in the yard while I was tending to my flowers and watching my son play. I feel like it was an answer of some sort. My son noticed them as well. He said "butterflies?" In his cute toddler way of speaking :-)
He has begun to notice bees and flowers as well. He even likes the three necklaces I got from Jen's Crafty Creations, it was like it draws his attention.
I can't wait to see what his favorite stone would be. His element is fire, that might explain why he's drawn to my dragon's  vein agate necklaces, and he most definitely acts like it.
Although its an odd mixture since my element is earth and his father's is water.
I hope you all had/have a good ostara/good Easter!

Irritable

Merry meet,
Happy St. Patrick's day to you all. May luck be on your side today.
I find it rather irritable that people try to tell one that wicca is coincided with Satanism but when you tell them differently, all they want to do is spout scriptures to you without giving a true argument on their beliefs. Christians are so fooled by the bible that they can give no other argument.
If you are going to spout that witchcraft is devil worship then produce some hard facts proving so otherwise keep your scriptures to yourself. I grew up in a Christian home and had Christian beliefs but I've done my research and I believe that Christianity hides too many things and they try to push their beliefs on others.
I do not want to start an argument or bring up the age old dispute but I now firmly believe in the nature now.
Blessed Ostara blessings to you all.

Ostara

Spring is definitely in motion. While sitting outside,today, I heard birds singing to each other and flying around. I saw a few squirrels run across the yard and chattering to each other. Flowers are blooming. Despite the rain, it was a beautiful warm day. Ostara is in a few days, what do you plain doing for it?

Prayer

Lord & Lady,
Merry meet to the both of you. Please lend your live to my family and help them through hard times. Wrap all of your children up in your arms and keeping us all safe and loved. Let your spirit flow through us. Let your fire flow in our veins. Let your water keep our bodies sated for your worship. Let your earth keep our bodies nourished with your fruit you provide. Let the breath of our lungs glorify you.
I call forth your love and protection to protect us, your children.
So note it be.

Peace

Merry meet,
When you think of the word 'peace' what comes to your mind? Most would answer with 'quiet' 'no noise' or 'alone' but to really achieve peace, in my opinion is to be the calm to someone else's anger. To be the calm in the middle of the tornado. You can find peace in a quiet room with no noise or on one around but that is only an outer peace.
Inner peace is achieved through hard times or hard experiences. Most of the time but achieving inner peace is also the ability to be calm amidst anger or chaos and still remain calm. The words 'peace', 'calm', 'quiet' usually go hand in hand and are most often used when in coincidence of each other. To experience inner peace, you have to be able to redirect anger or violent behavior towards something,well,peaceful.
Violence and anger are another set of words that are used together often. But a person who has inner peace will act out of kindness even in the face of danger or violence. A person who has no inner peace will act in anger or violence when confronted with something fearful.
I want you to try something. I want you to try sitting in a room where maybe a party is going on or where your kids are playing and being loud and close your eyes and just try to remain calm, do this for at least ten to fifteen minutes and comment with how it made you feel.
It helps me especially on days where everything feels it is going wrong.
Let me know of your experience with it!

Refreshing

Today has been refreshing for me. I sat on my front porch and watched the birds and squirrels. I noticed that the flowers planted around my house are coming up and one flower has already bloomed. The breeze was just right, the temperature was warm but not hot. Perfect day to just sit and read or knit or just to watch the animals.
