Good morning witches!
When I was journaling yesterday I was reminded of little song that I’d not heard for a while, so a little search on iTunes and I end up buying a copy of the original broadway cast recording of South Pacific. What stuck in my head was the “if you don’t have a dream, how you going to have a dream come true” I’ve been aware that over the winter I’d lost focus a bit on where I was going and what I was doing. Getting too caught up in the day to day, week to week crap that every one has to deal with. I missed a couple of full moons, not done the rituals I should have and I’ve been so cold this winter that it’s been hard to keep in the inner spirit burning warmly. Added to that winter depression, a couple of family and personal bits that throw me for a while and it’s been a hard and cold winter
Now as the spring is starting to show its first signs of life, the snow drops are up and daf’s have started to grow and yesterday I spotted some crocus’s adding a splash of colour on the bank as I waked passed. It’s now light when I leave for work each morning and it won’t be long before the warmth comes back and my feet stop feeling like blocks of ice. Ru say’s you have to keep going after your dreams, and it wasn’t so much that I didn’t believe him, I just never really had the dream to go chase after. I’ve never wanted the big house or the big flash car. Those things where for other people ad I had no interest in them.
Now as I’m lifting out of the dark fog I was in over winter, I’ve found myself starting to plan out a couple of trips that I would love to take. I’ve got a couple of projects in mind for the web site and once I’ve done the things that need to be done with the money I have ( car service, eye test etc) then I have a few things in mind to do with the little bit of extra cash that I can muster up.
None of these are going to change the world or throw me in to the limelight but for me right now they are plans that I can work with and give me a goal and a purpose again. My point being, don’t forget or lose sight on the things that fire you up. Keep hold of your passion’s and plans, so that even in your darkest moments you have something that’ll keep the fire burning inside. Journal, log and plan. Revisit and revise just to keep the energy flowing. cause you never know, you might just spot the chance to make one of them come true.
At the moment, out in the wider world, forces are at play that have threatened the peace and stability of Eastern Europe. As we put our trust in to our political and military to do what is right to bring it to a quick end. What can we do to help? There is nothing in witch law that prevents us from brewing up a bit of love and light, sending out armies of protection and peace. All over the world those of us with a faith are praying to our Goddess and Gods that this be resolved quickly and with as little harm to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine as possible. If you wish to add your energy to the collective then please join me in the follow ritual.
- 1 white candle
- Peace oil ( carrier oil, 3 drops of lavender, 3 drops of bergamot, 3 drops of peppermint, pinch of dragons blood powered if you have it)
- 1 sheet of paper and a suitable pen
- Suitable container to burn paper in
You can add any crystals to this you feel can be used to add in calm and protection.
Dress you candle with the oil and place on your altar with the intention of clam and stillness be wrapped around the people so they feel safe and protected. On your paper write
Mother Hecate, Goddess of the crossroads, block the path of destruction and chaos, protect your children.
Mother Hecate, Goddess of the keys, unlock the path of diplomacy and conversation, defuse the conflict and tension.
Mother Hecate, Goddess of night, hold in your hand those who are traveling to safety, keep them safe and aid their flight.
Fold the paper in half and in half again. Write on the top
Mother Hecate, I invoke the motherhood of the Goddess to protect and keep safe those who are scared and in fear of life. Maiden, Mother, Crone, I invoke the power of 3, bring peace, safety and stability. End the battle and send them home, let your divine love be known. As I will so let it be, my will and the power of 3.
Burn the paper in the candle flame and allow the candle to burn out, whilst visualising peace and protection being sent to Ukraine. Dispose of the ash and candle end at a cross road as soon as you can.
Have a blessed week. Laters witches.
My dad’s favourite musical was ‘South Pacific’ so it was played a lot when I was a little girl. My favourite song as ‘I’m gonna wash that man right outa my hair’. Mmmm.
Have a good week hun x
