Happy May!

Calling Women, Cattle, Corn, and Horned Gods!

O do not tell the Priests of our Arts,
For they would call it sin;
But we shall be in the woods all night,
A conjuring summer in!
And we bring you good news by word of mouth
For women, cattle and corn
For the Sun is coming up from the South
With Oak, and Ash and Thorn!

ONLY ONE MORE DAY TILL THE MAY!

Full Flower Moon Circle

I cast a circle on this post. I bless and consecrate this post as a magickal space of power and all who offer comments here shall be empowered with strength and transformative energy to help your dreams come true. By the power invested in me as priestess and witch I hereby summon stir and call upon the mighty ones of north, east, south, and west to bless and protect this circle post.

Hail, the power of the green earth to bring you healing, grounding,
material well being, protection, and prosperity.

Feel the power of the winds and may they grant you intellect,
inspiration, success, communication, friendship, and creativity.

Behold, the power of fire to fulfill your strong desires, to excite and fan
the flames of passion, and create more energy, ambition, and drive.

Here is the power of the ocean waters to bring peace to our planet and grant us a better flow. May they bestow treasure, fertility, abundance, and love upon you.

O ye mighty ones of the four quarters, I summon and call upon you to be with us here to guard, protect, and empower this circle.

I invoke the power of the mighty eagle to give you who enter here the freedom to soar. I summon the power of the serpent for you who seek change or the power to shed a skin or an old way of being. Hail, the power of Asclepios and his twin serpents who bring spiritual, emotional and physical healing. The power of the Serpent also brings protection, power, knowledge, wisdom, and insight. The Serpent rules the kundalini chakra and awakens our ability to feel and trust our instincts. The Serpent rules sexual healing and rejuvenation. And lastly, I invoke the power of the scorpion for those who must let go of poisonous ways in order to live fully. These three are the totems of Scorpio and rule this full moon upon us. May their power serve and guide you well.

I call upon the triple Mother Goddesses - Rhea, Diana, Astarte - Be With Us Now.

All witches know that on the Full Moon the Goddess will grant us each a boon.
Post your magickal wishes and goals in the comments section before May 4 2007 and they will be granted by the Goddess. So mote it be!

Happy Full Moon!!!

PRESENTS

BELTANE IN THE PARK SABBAT Celebration

APRIL 29th 2007

3-5pm

Purpose: Desire, sensuality, passion, may poles, flower garlands, love magicks, protection of animals.

Considered to be one of the 4 Great Sabbats.

In ye olde tradition we will have a Maypole Dance, Jumping the Cauldron, and a guided meditation.

As we welcome Beltane one of the most important festivals of the pagan year traditionally marking the arrival of summer in ancient times. With its counterpart Samhain, Beltane divides the year into its two primary seasons, Winter the Dark and Summer the Light.

It’s the festival of fertility, celebrating beginnings and reproduction, the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Beltane is also known as May Eve, May Day, and Walpurgis Night.

It’s a “between time” when the veils between the two worlds are at their thinnest and most fragile. The two worlds intersect at the crossroads of Beltane where they intermingle and unite and anything may happen. It’s the time when the Faeries return from their winter respite, and people placed rowan branches at their windows and doors for protection from the otherworld. It’s a time of divination and communion with Faery Folk and all Nature Spirits

Beltane, or Beltaine, is the celebration of two powers joining to bring creation, in this case, the Goddess and the God. The two form a sacred union, from which comes creation, growth and harmony. The God, now grown, becomes enraptured with the Goddess and from their love, all of nature grows and flowers. It is a time of sensuality and sexuality, the reawakening of the
earth in vivid colours, vibrant scents, fresh greenery and the sheer joy of summer after a long dormant winter

Bring food and drinks eg: fruits, grape juice, cakes, cookies, veggies and dip, sandwiches it is a large picnic. etc.

Attire: Suggested colors are pink, yellow, green, violet, red, white (not required for attendance). (bring blankets to sit on, and a chalice if you have one)

COME AND ENJOY. Phone: 917-378-5012/347-756-7486

Bring blankets or sheets to sit on when needed.

$5.00 charge for expenses.

IF ANYONE HAS HAND INSTRUMENTS PLEASE BRING AS MANY AS POSSIBLE WE DID INFORM THEM WE WILL HAVE MUSIC bring them, we create our own music.

Happy Full Moon and Imbolc

Imbolc is one of the four greater Sabbats of the Witches. On Imbolc we ask the Goddess Bridgid to bring inspiration into our lives. It is also a Full Moon in Leo. Leo rules all matters of the heart. It is also the sign of theatre, showmanship, and being before the public eye. Here and now is the place and time to summon up your passion, creativity, and dramatic flair. Make a wish if you dare!

All witches know that on the Full Moon
the Goddess will grant us each a boon.

I have cast a circle on this post. It has been blessed and consecrated as a magickal space of power and all who leave their comments here shall be empowered by the Full Moon with strength and energy to help their dreams come true. By the power invested in me as priestess and witch I have hereby summoned stirred and called up the mighty ones of north, east, south, and west to bless and protect this circle post. I have invoked the power of the mighty oak to give those who enter here strength, endurance, and resolve. I have summoned the power of the willow for those seeking flexibility and change. Hail, the power of the green earth for those in need of healing, grounding, and material well being. Also the power of the mountains for those who seek protection, power, wisdom, and insight. Feel the power of the winds for those who seek intellect, inspiration, success, communication, friendship, and creativity. Behold, the power of fire to fulfill your strong desires, to excite and fan the flames of passion, and create more energy, ambition, and drive. Here is the power of the oceans for those seeking peace, a better flow, treasure, fertility, abundance, and love. Post your magickal wishes and goals for the Full Moon in the comments section before Feb 4 2007 and they will be granted by the Goddess. So mote it be and Blessed Imbolc!

New Year Wishes Granted in the Magick Circle

Hi Lexa Aka The Witch Doctor,

With 2007 coming up are there any new year rituals you can suggest to bring more spice to life? I had a pretty dull year last year minus a few things and I want to make this one shine. I'm sure alot of people feel this way. How can one give life a kick the pants romantically, socially, and career wise? Anything you can recommend or are there any basic new year spells you could think of. Thanks and have a great 2007!

- Chic_Geek81

Happy New Year Chic Geek

The actual Witches' New Year is celebrated on Oct 31/Nov 1, so there aren't any official spells in the Book of Shadows for the Secular New Year although it is said that wearing yellow or burning a yellow candle on New Years' Day brings lots of good luck. If you want to spice up your life this year, add cinnamon and/or curry to your diet. These two work quickly to bring excitement and energy into life. Now, I have done something rather unusual here for the New Year because it is also going to be a Full Moon (and the first one of the year) on Jan 3.
