May we nourish seeds of possibility and joy. May we tend to seeds of connection and seeds of ideas. May we nurture seeds of genius and sparks of change. May we gather up what we’ve created and hold it lovingly and then open our hands and let go. May we plant what we can, savor what we can, harvest what we need to thrive, and love where we are now, hearts alive and hopes extended. May we be as full of promise as a nestled seed, lying in darkness at the fiercest edge of cracking open, ready to see what grows.
Ostara blessings to all! May you nurture tender seeds of possibility.
May the warm sun remind you that you are nourished. May the solid earth remind you that you are held. May the swift hum of blood through your veins remind you that you are connected. May the sweet breeze in your chest and across your face, remind you that you are loved. May you remember that you are carried by the elements, your life its own kind of magic.
Reminder: our ongoing daily practice, #30DaysofGoddess, is updated monthly with prompts, prayers, printables, and practices.
May we breathe deep and allow a blush of gratitude to suffuse us, soft and persimmon orange as it permeates our bodies. May we breathe deep and allow compassion to illuminate us, lighting our hearts with a golden glow, softening our shoulders and gentling our minds. May we breathe deep and allow a fire of creativity to kindle in our bellies, flaring bright and powerful filling our bones with purpose and lighting our way May we pause, allowing the warmth of the moment to nourish and inspire us, and then set forth hands open and hearts ablaze.
For summer festivals such as the Summer Solstice on June 21, you should honor the deities who gift us with such plenty. Light yellow and green candles at your altar and on the feast table and offer this appeal:
This post was prompted by the outpouring of support for Ukraine I've seen on social media. It could apply to any future emergencies too, though. I have seen some very well intentioned people calling on Slavic deities with whom they do not usually have a relationship and I just wanted to write a little guide to how to craft supportive prayers or spells outside one's usual area of practice to respond to current emergencies in the world.
I'm not going to get into political analysis here because it would be off topic for my blog which is about my personal gnosis and experiences with the Asatru religion. If any of my readers would like to see my commentary on military and intelligence matters, I have some posts on my social media about it, as I have been asked to comment because I studied the Soviet Union. This post is just about writing prayers and spells. Writing is my thing now.
Settle in with Desire, have a cup of tea, dialogue about decisions and destiny and what makes your heart sing. Listen to her wisdom, she knows of what she speaks, the path is before you, the sun is shining and she's ready to guide your way. Set forth, hand in hand, a story of trust nestled in your chest a soulsong on your lips, and purpose in your stride. Take all that you feel and use it to create.
