For my Mami, who would have been 86 today....

Sometimes,

When the day has been ugly

I am at my wits end

People have been cruel

The tears are on their way  

Suddenly, I smell gardenias...    

Sometimes,

When I need a hug

The loneliness is overwhelming

No one understands

No one listens  

Suddenly, I feel a soft breeze caress me....  

Sometimes,

I cannot see the beauty

I cannot hear the song

I cannot speak the words

I cannot feel....  

Suddenly, I sense my soul being touched by yours

I remember you

The twinkling in your eyes

The love in your smile

You soft & wrinkled hand on my cheek

A world of beauty in your spirit  

Thanks Mom for still being here with me

I was inspired to write this after some of my girlfriends and I had a wonderous night of Happy Nekkid Pagan Dancing under the full moon in a lovely Colorado glade.....

Once in a while the Goddess blesses

In ways that we never imagined.

She leads us to new experiences

And brings to our lives new passions.

She leads us to the forest,

To a grove that's full of power

She strips us of objections

And brings on the witching hour.

We dance and sing, we laugh and smile.

The Old World now a haze.

We lose ourselves in Her splendor,

As we give our Lady praise.

As the night then ends, as all things must,

And the world comes back into view.

These thoughts will always empower me,

And give me strength anew...

*** If you ever get a chance to go Dancing nekkid under the moonlight.....try not to pass it up!!!!! ;)

Bright Blessings to one and all!!

It has been a while since I have posted anything, but as I sit here and anxiously anticipate my Dr telling me I can give up the crutches (foot surgery), I had someone ask me a question. "How long have you been a practicing Wiccan?"  This question of course caused a million associated items to go thru my mind. The one sticking out the most in my mind was about the time I actually started to believe in magick...

As bad as my memory is at times, I can remember the moment I knew... LOL

I was about 7 years old and on a Saturday afternoon I was watching TV, when a movie came on called "The Magic Sword". It stars Basil Rathbone and was made in 1962.  It is your typical fairy tale, maiden in trouble, evil lord, knight in shining armour and of course, the good witch.  She was my inspiration... silly and funny as she was I remember watching that movie and knowing right then and there that magic was real, and that it was going to be part of my life, a big part. To this day, I remember watching that movie and exactly what I felt as if it just happened.

If by chance you see the movie, it really is wonderfully silly and campy (and since I have a copy of it because I bought it the second it came out), it still makes me smile when nothing else will.

Anyone else remember.....?

Love & Blessings,

Meagan

Quietly, I sit and allow myself to breath
With conviction
With purpose
And suddenly

I feel the breeze pick up and touch my face

I listen to the rustling of the leaves

I smell the sweetness of the flower laden air

I see the flickering of the stars

My soul begins to sing

And

That's when I remember

There really is magic...
