My Life's Wish for You

May your spirit keep the freedom of a butterfly in spring

And your heart be filled always with the joys of simple things.

May your essence claim the freshness of the new laid morning dew

All of this and more is my Life's wish for you.

Solar Enchantments

Mine is the success, for I am the Sun

I manifest efforts as magic is spun

With Me, there's no problem, no fuss, and no wait

Results are immediate and culminate

In total victory for the petitioner

For I'm the best friend of every practitioner

Whether energy, health, or matters of the heart

Cash flow, separation, or gaining new starts

Is what you visualize in your mind's eye

I bring it quickly and never deny

That which you wish or that of which you dream

No matter how small or how large or extreme

For I am the All: Father, Lover, and Child

The Brother, the Sage, and the Warrior, so wild

I am the Sun --- I am Magic sublime

Days Nursery Rhyme

Monday's child is fair of face

Tuesday's child is full of grace

Wednesday's child is filled with woe

Thursday's child has far to go

Friday's child is loving and giving

Saturday's child works hard for a living

But the child who's born on the Sabbath day

Is fair and wise and good and gay

Butt Prints In The Sand

One night I had a wondrous dream,

One set of footprints there was seen,

The footprints of the Goddess they were,

But mine were not along the shore. 

But then some stranger prints appeared,

and I asked Her, "What have we here?

These prints are large and round and neat,

But much too big to be from feet." 

"My child," She said in somber tones,

"For miles I carried you alone.

I challenged you to walk in faith,

But you refused and made me wait."

"You would not learn, you would not grow,

The walk of faith, you would not know,

So I got tired, I got fed up,

And there I dropped you on your butt."

"Because in life, there comes a time,

When one must fight, and one must climb,

When one must rise and take a stand,

Or leave their butt prints in the sand."

Blessing of the Book of Shadows

Hearken as the witches' word

Calls to All, a gulf to ford

Bridge the vast realities

An it harm none, Do as ye please

Elements protect and guard this book

From wandering eyes and prying looks

Fill it with Thine ancient power

In this right and ready hour

Powers of North, the East below

Help me to live, to learn, to grow

Lend Your strength and stability

To practice the Craft and with love be free

Powers of East, the Wind, the Sky

Watch over these pages with Thine eye

Your wisdom and knowledge, for these I do ask

That this book be worthy of the Craft and It's task

Powers of South, Fire, and the Hearth

Help these Shadows to prove Their worth

Infuse Them with all your healing and passion

So only good comes from the work that is fashioned

Powers of West, the Water and Sea

Change and growth are granted by Thee

Bless these pages with all that You know

That righteous readers may learn and grow

And to the unschooled eyes that see

Confusing words and sophistry

Lead them from these Sacred pages

And Bless their passage through the ages

For free will of all

And harm of none

As I have willed it

It is now done

So Mote It Be
