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.

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.

Listen to the Wisdom of Witches.

Know that we are here to share.

Come close to us that have always known.

Bless those of you that have truly grown.

Seek out the wisdom of our knowledge.

Know that our spells are true.

Bright blessings to your spirit.

A poem from me to you.

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.

Water Falls


Water Falls

By

Father Witch

When water falls on wishes-

no different than a tear.

Sorrow is a mixture

of happiness and fear.

When water falls on dreams-

No different than the rain.

Her winds will blow the clouds away;

The seeds of life remain.

Every Spring will bring forth life

as Mother Nature calls.

Every season will bring change

as the water falls.

The Stars



The Stars.
By
Father Witch

I can look up to the heavens.
I can see the stars with my own eyes.
The darkness of the moon
has made me realize
that my powers lie within
those stars that I cannot see.
I drink from my own chalice-
creating destiny.

Natures Dancers by Father Witch

I dance this night upon a stage called earth.

Pondering the next step that I should take

In the many silent songs called life.

I must create my own dance

With the whispers of the winds

And the moon, as she cast her shadows

On my soul and silhouettes.

I can sing without words.

I can jump from star to star.

In the vastness of this dance without a song.

My spirit can truly sour,

As the silence brings forth sound.

Suddenly, music is all around.

I dance upon this stage

Until the performance is complete.

Unto this life I must accept defeat.

But, by listening to silence

And understanding life,

Death will only bring me to my feet.

I dance this night upon a stage called earth.

To a song that has no sound.

I can hear the melody.

I can see the audience of life around me.

So I shall dance until my soul is found.

My silhouettes shall spring to life

With the rising of the sun.

And they shall dance unto a different tune.

We are merely dancers in the performance of our lives.

Cast by the creator of all things.

And judged by the values that we bring-

To the dance.

Bright blessings for....

The Witches Creed

Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night,
When dark was our destiny's pathway,
That now we bring forth into light.

Mysterious water and fire,
The earth and the wide-ranging air,
By hidden quintessence we know them,
And will and keep silent and dare.

The birth and rebirth of all nature,
The passing of winter and spring,
We share with the life universal,
Rejoice in the magical ring.

Four times in the year the Great Sabbat
Returns, and the witches are seen
At Lammas and Candlemas dancing,
On May Eve and old Hallowe'en.

When day-time and night-time are equal,
When sun is at greatest and least,
The four Lesser Sabbats are summoned,
And Witches gather in feast.

Thirteen silver moons in a year are,
Thirteen is the coven's array.
Thirteen times at Esbat make merry,
For each golden year and a day.

The power that was passed down the age,
Each time between woman and man,
Each century unto the other,
Ere time and the ages began.
When drawn is the magical circle,
By sword or athame of power,
Its compass between two worlds lies,
In land of the shades for that hour.
This world has no right then to know it.

And world of beyond will tell naught.
The oldest of Gods are invoked there,
The Great Work of magic is wrought.

For the two are mystical pillars,
That stand at the gate of the shrine,
And two are the powers of nature,
The forms and the forces divine.

The dark and the light in succession,
The opposites each unto each,
Shown forth as a God and a Goddess:
Of this our ancestors teach.

By night he's the wild winds rider,
The Horn'd One, the Lord of the Shades.
By day he's the King of the Woodland,
The dweller in green forest glades.

She is youthful or old as she pleases,
She sails the torn clouds in her barque,
The bright silver lady of midnight,
The crone who weaves spells in the dark.

The master and mistress of magic,
That dwell in the deeps of the mind,
Immortal and ever-renewing,
With power to free or to bind.

So drink the good wine to the Old Gods,
And Dance and make love in their praise,
Till Elphame's fair land shall receive us
In peace at the end of our days.

And Do What You Will be the challenge,
So be it Love that harms none,
For this is the only commandment.
By Magic of old, be it done!

From Doreen Valiente's, "Witchcraft For Tomorrow"

My Familiar, Maggie.
Maggie (A Magpie.) is my familiar. She fell out of a tree when she found life and I raised her with an eye dropper and soaked, dry dog food. She lived her entire life with me and she was never, ever caged. She never flew away and I had her for many years. Maggie remains with me in spirit to this very day. - Father Witch

Your magickal name

    Choose the Perfect Name

  1. Step 1

    Do not share your Wiccan name with outsiders. A magickal name should be reserved for rituals and as a way of identifying yourself to other Wiccans in your coven. Some Wiccans do not share their names at all, reserving them for direct communication with the deities.

  2. Step 2

    Research different names and their meanings. You can use baby books to learn what names mean.

  3. Step 3

    Select a name that represents a characteristic you have or are aiming for. This can be done directly or in a more subtle way. If you're aiming for strength, for example, you can choose the name "Iron Maiden" or select the Gaelic name "Bry," which means noble and strong.

  4. Step 4

    Pay attention to signs. Wiccans believe you can sometimes receive your name through dreams, visions or special occurrences. By being open to the possibility, it is more likely that you won't miss the sign when it comes.

  5. Step 5

    Ask for help in selecting a name. If you belong to a coven, the high Priestess may help you in choosing your magickal name by guiding you through a ritual.

  6. Step 6

    Take care in choosing the name of a goddess. If you decide to choose the name of a goddess, do so in hopes of becoming a reflection of her. Keep in mind, however, that you may inherit both the good and the bad side of the goddess' personality.
