On this day
may you be held
in the harmony
of light and dark
in the balance
of life and death.
May you stand
in peace
believing for one day
that all good things
are possible
that all opposition
has its counterpart
that you will be healed.
May you pause
on this day
to feel the turning
of the wheel
to hear the singing
of the stars
to stand in the center
and fully know
equilibrium.

Join NancyL on September 14th to dream WILD.
Gather beneath the new moon
A simple circle of dreamers
The drumbeat sounds
And off we go…
Let’s gather together and call on our spirit helpers, the elements and elementals, Virgo sun and moon, and the wild Soul of Nature. Perhaps an ancient Goddess or two will join us as well.

Take a guided shamanic journey with me into the heart of the land beneath our feet – the sacred body of Mother Nature.
Call on the ancient forest goddess Green Tara for help and guidance. Green Tara lives at the heart of wild, untamed lands. She will hold and guide you on this journey into the heart of Mama Earth.

It seems fitting to share Goddess Danu, the Celtic Mother Goddess associated with the earth, the elements, fertility and abundance on St. Patrick’s Day.
Great primordial mother Danu birthed all things, including the Gods. She has always been here. Goddess Danu holds all things and presides over all stages of life, death and rebirth.
It is said that Mother Danu passed on some of her magic and wisdom to members of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the original tribe of Ireland. The tribe’s name literally means ‘the peoples of the goddess Danu”.
As an elemental Nature Goddess, Danu is present in the soil and stone and waters of our Earth. She whispers her wisdom on the wind.
You can connect with Danu by sitting with, and listening to wild, uncivilized nature.

Full moon in Virgo, the sign of the Earth Goddess / Priestess. This moon is sometimes called the worm moon. It is the closest full moon to spring equinox.
Here in the northern hemisphere, the ground is beginning to thaw and the worms are stirring. Mama Earth is waking up. Have faith. Spring is on its way.
Now is the perfect time to set intentions and make plans for spring.
What does your heart desire after the long, dark months? Shake off the cobwebs of winter and take a step or two towards your desire now.

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground.
Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.
You’ve been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.

Goddess Brigid is honored and celebrated at Imbolc in early Frebriary.
Brigid was born at sunrise with a flame of light shooting from her flaming red hair. Her sacred fire represents divine inspiration, warmth, safety, and home.
Brigid is also known to be a great healer and protector of life. Ancient wells honoring her are still found in Ireland and Scotland. People have prayed and left offerings at her wells for thousands of years. Their waters hold healing powers.
Ancient Nature Goddess Brigid brings the light of spring. It is said that flowers bloom wherever she walks.
May Brigid bless the house wherein you dwell
Bless every fireside every wall and door
Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof
Bless every hand that toils to bring it joy
Bless every foot that walks its portals through
May Brigid bless the house that shelters you.
