Song

Song
By
Father Witch

To sing a song without the words
is meaningless to me.
Without the rhythm of my heart
there can be no melody.
To sing a song in silence
that no one else can hear
is to dance within the darkness
embracing only fear.
To create a song from nothing
is to make a single sound.
And to find the joy that it brings
to those who gather ‘round.

First Full Moon 2010-Wolf Moon

Tonight, January 29, 2010 is the Wolf Full Moon. It is the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. I hope you get a chance to view it. It is beautiful. Pray to the moon when she is round. Luck with you shall then abound. What you seek for shall be found. In sea or sky or solid ground...

Imbolc Spell

Let the cloth of life be mended.
Let the thread be linked again,
restored, cleansed - the forests growing,
native plants in field and fen.

Let the cloth of life, in beauty,
be restored by will to be.
People with the plants and creatures,
tending earth and sky and sea."

The Imbolc Green Man
By
Father Witch

The Imbolc green man brings the promise of spring.
Rejoice in the new life that it shall bring.
Give praise to the goddess and the god
as we continue 'round the ring.
Blessed be to those that care.
Three fold to those whom share.
The Imbolc green man brings the promise of spring.
Let us all give praise and sing.

Blue Moons

In most months there will be one full moon and one new moon, but occasionally there will be two full moons within the same calendar month and the second full moon of a month is known as a blue moon. Blue moons are times of extra power. You can also make powerful moon water. Know the cycles of the moon. This picture was taken on 01/01/2010. It was a beautiful blue moon. Blessed Be! Father Witch

Imbolc

Learn the days that we give praise.
Know the cycles of the moon.
Watch as the goddess dances
to Mother Natures tune.
Blessed be your Imbolc.
Let us rejoice the day.
Bring you candles to the atler
Dance and sing our way.

There are others, but lavender is a wonderful Imbolc incense.

A poem from me to you.

Brighid's Day

As Imbolc (or Candlemas) approaches on February 02, 2010, we find ourselves preparing for another celebration. This day is also known as Brighid's Day in celebration of the goddess, Brighid. It is a reminder that winter is coming to an end and that the seed of the earth shall soon spring to life. It is a time of redirection and change. Among others, Brighid is the goddess of childbirth, healing and poets. She is the Cheltic goddess of fire and creativity. If you have additional information on this goddess, please share and comment. Bright blessings, FW

Amaterasu

I have decided to look into the goddesses of wicca. There are many! Amaterasu is a Japanese sun goddess. If you know additional information on this goddess, please comment. Bright blessings. FW

Whisper the Challenge

Whisper The Challenge

By
Father Witch

Whisper the challenge on a day you can’t foresee.
No one can predict the future; be it happiness or misery.
Do not allow one single pleasure to come into your past.
Without savoring the moments while they last.
Inhale all of the life that has been given to you.
Enjoy every single moment of everything you do.
Listen to the wisdom of those who truly know
And try to let your wild spirits grow.
Life is such a fragile thing that we can never say
I think I’ll wait for happiness on another day.
Dream of those dreams that all of us can reach.
Unto your bothers and your sisters- try to teach.
For there are many among us that truly do not know
In which direction, on this day, their very lives will go.
Fear will make them scared, fragile and weak.
Compassion and understanding is what they truly seek.
Whisper the challenge on a day much like today.
Think about every word that you’re going to say.
To a total stranger, attempt to show your heart.
You will find that we are all not so very far apart.
Whisper the challenge as you lay your head to sleep
Dream of the all the happiness within your heart you’ll keep.
Pray for the ones that got lost along the way.
Awake to whisper the challenge for another lovely day.
Ponder at the wonders that you see before your eyes.
Rejoice in the beauty of a majestic sunrise.
Question the mysteries that you fail to understand
Walk with us together- hand in hand.
For when we whisper the challenge we must stand near.
Close enough together so everyone can hear.
That living is a gift we all must bear.
Peace, love and happiness we all must share.
