Ocean Goddess

Surging wave and hand of the tide

Nurturer of the ebb and flow of life

Grant me the wisdom

To see the rhythm and the current

Wash clear my eyes

In your waters

So that I may see

Your timing and Your gifts

Of opportunity and change

Awaken me

To the inevitability of life's movement

So that I might embrace lightly

And never cling

To what might or might not be

But live fully

In the moment

 

Goddess of the deep

Enlighten me

To the mysterious wells

Of a woman's soul

Plunge the depths

And awaken

The strong, wise

Woman inside

And enable her to see clearly

The power of love

The courage of woman

The strength in being

The light of life

In the darkest of times

Give stability and wisdom

To maintain the balance

Of the dance of life

Spell Name: Pure Hot Love Vinegar (edible)

 

Purpose: To stoke the fires of love between you and your partner.

 

Items Needed:

      3 Cups white vinegar

      Handful of dried tomatoes

      Handful of dried chilli peppers

      Handful of parsley

      Handful of rosemary

      2 lime cut into pieces

 

 

Correspondences Used:

The ingredients add up to 9 parts. I did this because this is a love spell and I used the numerology to find out that the number of love is 9. I picked the three week time to let it sit because passion comes out as a 3.

 

      Vinegar – this adds the essence of fire. It draws the power and strength of fire into the spell. It is also a purifying agent. This vinegar is made for lovers in a committed relationship so the purifying properties will help keep the relationship strong and true.

      Parsley – to draw lust

      Rosemary – this herb draws love as well as lust. Since this vinegar is for committed couples we want to draw the love and toss in a bit of the lust.

      Tomatoes – to inspire love

      Lime – to draw love

      Chilli Peppers – used to enflame your lover and to ensure a “spicy” love

 

Spell: 

Mix the ingredients together and repeat the following while you do so:

 

I have my true loves heart and he has mine

Our love is sweet and oh so fine

Fire burn and bind us tight

In each others arms we join all night

 

When you have mixed it cap it tightly and places it out in the sun for three days (one night for love, one night for passion and one night to bind the two.) At the end of the three place the mix in a cool dark place for three weeks. Every day during the first week take the container and swirl it gently and say:

 

Today for love to mix in our hearts

Our joy in each other it never departs

 

Every day during the second week swirl the container gently and say:

 

Passions fires stoke and burn

To each other our hearts will turn

 

Every day during the third week swirl the container gently and say:

         

Loves sweet joy and passions fire

Our pleasure in the other will never tire

 

At the end of the third week strain and rebottle the vinegar and repeat the following:

 

Bound together, heart to heart

In my arms is where thou art

Soul to soul together tied

In your arms I now abide

Loves sweet passion, a give and take

I make this vinegar, for sweet loves sake

 

Additional Information:

You can use this vinegar on salads, to marinate chicken, on pasta or whatever else you desire to try it with.

Its been more than a month since I have been on here... so I am catching up with reading blogs today. I have been without internet and will be for another two weeks at least. I have missed being here but it has been a great month with getting moved, starting a container garden and finally dealing with some emotional issues that were depressing me and getting in the way of my growth. I feel fantastic! I look forward to being back soon.

Bright Blessings

I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to be offline probably for the month. We are moving yesterday-today-tomorrow. And I am not going to have internet access for a month or so. I will check in at the library but don't know how often I will have time post.

Bright Blessings to you all

A while back I was talking to someone on coven space here and found out about the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards. I got some and I thought today for a change I would talk about the card that I picked today.

 I chose the Goddess Card Bast today - this is what it says:

 Independent "Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success."

Message from Bast: Like the cat, you're fiercely independent, yet you also need affection and playful companions. Now is the time to balance your social interactions with solitude. While you may ask others for their opinions, ultimately you must make your own decisions. Your freedom and independence are top priorities, so ensure that these characteristics are nurtured.

Various Meanings of this Card: Spend time alone. Give yourself permission to play. Ask for your needs to be met. Make your own decision. Work with cats. Pay attention to your pet feline and/or get a new cat.

About Bast: (rhymes with Mast): The Egyptian Goddess Bast transforms into a cat each night and protects her family and those who call upon her with her all-seeing night vision. She exhibits the catlike traits of the feminine, which include gracefulness, independence, playfulness, and intuition. Bast also works with cat lovers to help their feline companions. The daughter of the sun God Ra, Bast has the rare distinction of being both a moon and a sun Goddess

 I find it interesting that I got this card today. To be honest I am feeling very cat like today. Kind of leave me alone, let me do my thing; let me bask in the sun on the floor type of day. I have been learning over the last little while to start asking for the things that I need. That of course starts here at home with my partner of course but it also means that in regards to my health care and disability needs I need to ask for them as well. I have been putting off asking disability for a few things that I need simply because I am too proud to say hey I need some help. But the truth is that I need to ask for them and they will help me get on with living a functional and full life.

 I was intrigued as well by the playfulness aspect of Bast. I have been feeling the need recently to have that playful side of my life show up more. Whether it be playing with the cats, fooling around with my boyfriend wrestling on the grass, or even chatting and being silly with an online friend I need the joy of playfulness in my life. It helps lessen the difficult times and feelings that can sometimes trouble ones mind.

 Independence - LOL! I get in so much trouble about being independent. I guess that there is a point to being independent but sometimes one can take it a little too far. After all we do need people in our lives. Now I am not saying that one shouldn't look out for themselves and be strong and courageous in making decisions and changes in their lives. I think that sometimes we can mix up pride and independence. We think that if we can't do everything on our own then we are not independent or taking care of ourselves. Unfortunately sometimes when we don't take the chance and let down our pride and ask for help when we need it we end up loosing pieces of our independence and even more of our pride.

 Life is such a balancing act. But what a wonderful learning experience.

 Bright Blessings
