Give me warmth when the night is cold Give me sight when the night is dark Give me guidance when my heart is old Give me knowledge when my ears will hark
I pray for The Good for my soul to keep I pray for your embrace when my soul starts to weep You are always near, you’re never far Please let me keep this dream world adjar
Let me stay in this garden so green Let me stay where she may always be seen Let fly in the night where we always have before Please do not shut this hallowed door
Give me vigor to endure and to last, Give me streangth to not hold too fast I do not know why we have come to this Our worlds once filled with love and bliss
Give me the Love to come to be friends If conditions rise when vain are ammends Give her guidence and knoledge and thirst Give us alternatives for this spontanious disperse
Let her know and let her see The angel in her that captivates me Give me the streagth to edure the shift If we cannot over-come this rift
Grant me with guidence, grant me with power Grant me wisdom when things start to sour Give me Love in this transition of pain Bring balance and peace to my thought-riddled Brain
Goddess of magic Goddess of Love May you always help seek the one I dream of Thanks for your blessings, thanks for your Joys Thanks for letting us be Girls and Boys
Thanks for your blessing even though it may wane Thanks for your blessings even though it may be in vain Carry me to your arms of comfort and delight Bring my eyes to the future of ambitious delight.
I am saddened but I do not chalenge you I know even through this, you will still see me through. I will hold onto the one I dream of, I believe in our Faith and Love
Give us reason, and empower us to understand The power of your workings and the streangth of our hands.
Blessed Be

Hello again! Recently, I’ve been keeping up with my plants in my garden and they are actually doing quite well. I’m intending on using them not only for magic purposes, but also, to construct an outdoor alter so I can practice in the weather. I’m kind of disappointed with my catnip, but I get the feeling that it may come back. All the other herbs and flowers are doing quite well.
I am also growing inside. I can feel it. I’m kind of having a hard time balancing my spiritual existence and my love life, but the Goddess is sympathetic and understanding. In my college, I’m going to see if I can find a Pagan club of some sort, see if I can find some like minded people that are close enough to actually talk to.
I want to see the world understand what we are about. We’re not a cult of primitives that live in a fairy world; we’re intelligent, normal, highly spiritual people. I want to rally some Pagans under a banner and make the public aware of our presence. Not to focus on converting or starting a denomination thing, but just to simply state our presents and our array of beliefs.
I don’t know what to call myself. I’m not Wicca, I do use some of their meditations and philosophies in my magic and meditation, but to say that I’m Wicca is certainly debatable. I think I’m best classified as a druid. I want to meet more Pagans and hold a small seminar at the college around Halloween (For promotional purposes) that’s dedicated to educating our community about our beliefs.
It’s kind of funny… Because I’m marrying into in Christian family, I’m studying a book on the Christian outlook on magic and its arts, and the author did a really good job. It’s a wonderful book actually. Of course, we’re still portrayed as lost and spiritually hungry people, but the author does see through our eyes and at many points in the book, has admiration and empathy with us. What’s important to communicate is that Anyone who isn’t spiritually hungry is spiritually stagnant no matter what religion they choose to practice. It’s called “Wicca’s charm” for those interested.
I want to contact the author and see if we can get some good chats in. I don’t want to debate these things; I just don’t want this war of religions to continue. Religion shouldn’t be like talking to your kids about sex for the first time. It should be factual, civilized, and cordial; not uptight and awkward.
I think everyone could use some peace. I think everyone is tired of fighting. I think the world needs to have a day where all the psychos are gagged and bound and the rest of the world settles down and enjoys nothing but ice cream and beer for a week!
One thing that I am glad about is that it’s been raining here a lot. Missouri’s water table has actually been dwindling, but recently we haven’t had a twenty four hour period without rain. I don’t want it to flood, but it is good to see that The mother is caring for herself, at least here.
Well, I won’t lie, I’m running out of things to say. Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello all my fellow blogger friends! I’m back, but I’m having technology issues. First my Laptop dies, and then my school’s internet dies as well. I need a new battery for my laptop, but that’s going to be a while, so updates will still be slow, but hopefully a little more frequent. Batteries are expensive, I’m expecting bills, and I JUST paid for college so it will be a while until I’m up to full time blogging again. The stress I felt before is old news, things are better now. Through each storm we survive the stronger we become. Katrina and I are still very close-knit and we’re becoming more obsessive then every. (OH be 19 and in Love…) anyway, sorry for that serious bit, but obviously, this is my outlet. This is the world in which I chuck all my emotions into, just so I can get it out of me. I share the good, the bad and the ugly.
My two blogs are slowly becoming one. I used to think I wasn’t that spiritual of an individual, but now I see that I am highly acute to it. It’s been hard juggling both of my blogs nowadays. It feels good to be back though. I hate it when my dark side kicks in like so. But if we didn’t fight it we would succumb to it.
