Wordsmithing Magic from the Crossroads
Rejoice this happy day, when we dedicate to new magical studies, renew our devotions, undergo initiation, and, under the light of the Owl Moon, welcome the transformation of the Crone to the Maiden. For Imbolc is Life’s Promise: no matter what the ice and cold may deliver, Nature is bigger, stronger, and will triumph.
Let us join together and give thanks on this blessed Equinox! In this rare moment, day and night come into a brief, but perfect balance.
If you live below the equator, Happy Ostara, and if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, Happy Harvest Home and Mabon! May all reap sweet abundance and goodness of every kind.
The Wheel of the Year turns once more, as Solstice’s magic fades and the seasons begin to change. There are powerful blessings on this ancient Celtic holy day of feasting, fire, and thanksgiving. Named for the vow the Shining God Lugh made to His mother Taitliu, it is an ancient crossroads that celebrates the First Harvest.
Merry Meet! Today is one of the holiest, happiest, most beautiful celebrations in our sacred year! It is Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere (and Blessed Samhain below the equator). The veil between the worlds is most thin, and our ancient alliances with the Faery world, as well as Nature, are honored. May joy be yours.
Now gather round and prepare for this most holy and joyful sacred celebration! Tonight is May Eve, also known as Walpurgis Night. There is powerful, Earthy magic flowing in all things at this cross-quarter between Spring and Summer, when we celebrate burgeoning life and Nature’s wild, unrestrained beauty. Rejoice!
Today marks the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and Autumnal Equinox in lands below the equator. As Winter departs, and Spring arrives for us in the north, there is very old magic awakening as the world begins anew.
Although there are many reasons for our hearts to be heavy, let us trust the timing of Nature! Imbolc is our holy time of healing, hope, and renewal. The curtain rises on a bright new year, and the changing of the age. Come celebrate with me.
Circle round, dear friends, for the Wheel turns once more, and we stand at the threshold between the worlds. This is the most solemn celebration of our year. Blessed Samhain.
Hail! Journeyer of the Heavens, Queen of Brightness, King of Beauty! Today is the day of Equinox and the beginning of Autumn above the equator. Stop by today and learn more.
