Peace and Bullies PEACE will come when people live In friendship, side by side, And cherish understanding More than hatred, greed and pride. PEACE will come when people see All people as the same, And no one has to live in fear, In ignorance, or shame. PEACE will come when people Who are needy can reach out For shelter, food, or love, And no one has to do without. PEACE will come when people Learn to listen and to care About the rights and dignity Of people everywhere. PEACE will come when love and trust And kindness know rebirth, And on that day all people Will rejoice in peace on…

     Pagan culture never died. It changed, was hidden, became hushed — but never died. We can look around and see that many of the Old ways are still part of everyday life. Here’s a few examples. What others can you see in your own surroundings?            A personal favorite is the candle-magic ritual we do once a year, celebrating one’s incarnation with the chant "Happy Birthday to you." A wish is made, the candles blown out and gifts given. This custom dates back to worship of Artemis, Greek Goddess of the Moon. On Her day, cakes were baked in the shape of a crescent moon and decorated with candles. If…

I recently gave myself permission to go ahead and buy the "Back Roads of Texas" paperback book. I’ve had the link saved in my browser for some time now. Just decided to go ahead and do it. I want to travel. Texas is a big state, and it would be a waste if I didn’t see some of its beauty. Did you know that there’s canyons and apparently some sort of "spectra lights in the sky", all in the State of Texas? These are things I would like to see, to explore. I have found myself "jumping in with both feet" with many things here lately. Could it be that…

Ok, so I have some problems with "The Charge of the Goddess". i do believe it is a very nice poem. I especially like the part in the end about having to know yourself in order to know the devine, however, somethings bother me about this poem some have taken as law. Why does it say "Whenever you have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the Moon is full…". Maybe someone can explain this to me. Why only once in the month? I don’t think it implies anything other then it said. I don’t, therefore, think it is open to interpretation (geez bible much).…

I am a stay at home Mom, Basically my whole life, I am 42 and still have two kids at home. I home schooled the kids when they were younger and stopped when my oldest was ready for High school. I have six kids, A…

BEAR In the wind I hear the sound In the sky I see the sight In the fire I smell the heat and I am another self again. My fur keeps the rain off keeps the pain off My hide keeps the cold out keeps the words out My claws dig the earth deep dig my thoughts deep and I am strong. Stronger than fear Stronger than hate Stronger than hopelessness and my roar drowns apathy. *** author bio: Siiri Cressey

BILL I see the gold flowing out of you and you are like a sun like a moon like a star like an angel like the song you sing like a dragonfly like a lion like a birch tree like a white flower like a pale bird like a sunrise like a lamp like a waking cat like a baby like a rushing stream like a knight like a moth like a silver cup like a bright fish like a snowflake like a storm like a god like a beautiful thing singing in Mothers’ garden. *** author bio: Siiri Cressey

The palest sliver of silver appeared, just a hint of the coming of her. As more and more of her lovely face did come, my breath quickened at the sight. In the lovely pale moonlight, her face was there, her love for us deeper than the deepest well. The Goddess floating above the waves, sent shivery delight through my veins. The full moon has come, Come feel her, see her, know her well. She who gave us birth through her cauldron Is shining down to lend us her power. The magick flows as does the waves, Flows thru me, fills me with awe and wonder. Sparks flash in the night,…
