(Photo Credit: Pinterest) The Nereids are Sea Goddesses/Nymphs and the daughters of Nereus and Doris, who was the daughter of Oceanus. Doris’ name means “bounty of the sea”, which is perfect for the Mother of the Nereids, who represent all that is beautiful about the sea. They are 50 in number, all of whom loved to dance and sing with their melodious voices. They dressed in the finest silks and their heads were crowned with red coral. All of them were oracles and had the gift of prophesy and divination. They could prophesy shipwrecks and storms, as they rode whales and dolphins throughout the ocean. They were the protectors of…

Meet the Gods: Thoth   (art by Samantha Sullivan) Merry meet. This month we look at Thoth – the Egyptian god of scribes and of the moon, as well as the father of magic, writing and occult wisdom. He was among the most important and perhaps the wisest of the gods. According to one story, Thoth (pronounced Toth, rhymes with both) was a god without a mother, born from the lips of Ra at the moment of creation. In another tale, Joshua J. Mark noted in an article on ancient.eu, Thoth is self-created at the beginning of time and, as an ibis (a sacred, stork-like bird that waded in the Nile,…

  i was thinking about a dream i once had & realized it really happened: smooth green elevens everywhere dancing to a laughing song memories masquerading as dreams: my life in crystal darkness but the moon tells another story: a wonderful obliteration once upon a time there was a little girl who liked to sit on the bridge: moon on the water: constellations that create stories to tell when the moon is full the flowers bloom at night & sing the nocturnal sun: pink petals peeling away from the bright yellow perimeter three times three plus two dream divided by dream squared equals a new dream memory moon stars sun:…

Winter cries A broken sob Of rain and throbbing grey To wistful white A sorry sight A tear track trails And smiling fails As frost bites hard Each chew and chomp Enamel stomp Upon a tongue Of furry sludge A grisly grudge A snarling wind And screeching trees Fog whispers please… And begs for entry To the heart The roaring hearth The glowing soul Oh let me in, let me in… Cailleach cries But listen not If you are wise.   Copyright 4th December 2013   *** About the Author: Mabh Savage is a Pagan author, poet and musician, as well as a freelance journalist.

Children’s Book Review: An A-Z collection of Behaviour Tales From Angry Ant to Zestless Zebra by Susan Perrow Illustrated by Almut French This charming and beautifully illustrated book essentially offers something called “story medicine” as a creative strategy for parenting, teaching and even counselling. The key concept of story medicine or healing stories is that the right story, told at the right time, can unlock something within a child and eventually bring about desired (or much needed) change. One example would be of a child deliberately annoying other children and destroying the peace in the classroom for the whole group. The teacher might then read the story about Obnoxious Octopus…

So it’s that special, magical time when I’m awake at 2am. Ah, that good old full moon energy. It’s been a crazy week, in a crazy month, in a full on lunatic (pardon the pun) year. I know I’m not the only one who has felt it. By a long stretch. From one moon to the next there have been trials and tribulations, from joy to despair, in the full cycle of the wheel of life, throughout the larger wheel of the year. It’s been an effort to stay out from under the whirring spokes of the wheels that just keep spinning. The Cold Moon sounds chilling and forbidding, but…

enLIVenING with the Muses     Creativity is my passion and the inspiration of the Nine Greek Muses has touched my life and those within it profoundly. This energy set the stage for my pursuit of a classical ballet career, ignited my love of music and stimulated my hunger for great literature. Heeding their call to inspiration has been the fertile ground from which the seeds of the efforts of my writing have blossomed and grown into a continual source of pride and joy in the sharing. With the coming of the Spring and the creativity of God and Goddess ready to reveal itself the call of the Muses is strong…
