"Lay down your cross of burden and be washed in the waters of rememberance. You are source, centered in substance and the crown of success awaits you! This Hallows, call to the Holy and Redeemed Ancestors....the one who walk in hope and power. You may not know their name. They know you...you are their hope made manifest. Call out to those named and un-named, known and unknown ancestors who walk with you to hold steady your hands to claim your crown! The veil thins and this power is available to you."
~ Orion Foxwood Oct. 2016
"We always claim power by doing exactly what needs to be done. The trouble is discerning moment by moment exactly what that may be. But staying present, vital, alert, the next move presents itself. It feels good to assert yourself as a living being, participating actively in this life. As witches, we must rise to the occasion and, if need be, even go toe to toe with "forces" that may not have the best intentions in mind." ~Timothy Roderick 2016
Don't wait for a miracle to happen and make you happy when it's already looking at you in your mirror. Thank the person in your mirror for being a unique expression of universal beauty that has never been before and will never be again. You are art waiting to happen!

Video by Kassia S. Morgan on her experience of transformation beyond fear, and what she learned on this New Year's 2015 retreat, which was led by don Jose, don Miguel Jr. and don Miguel Ruiz - Love and blessings everyone!
We dance of the flight of the Crow;
The song of the wild,
Drums beating in our Heart.
We wend our way through the night;
Moonlight calling to hidden gems, Sparkling in the darkness.
The Lady calls us to the dance, Eternal song of soul and being.
We move round the fire,
Flames licking,
Wind blowing,
Mist swirling,
We move.
We move.
We are.
We feel.
We feel Earth beat within.
Our Heart,
One with the drums,
Souls as one,
One with the dance.
We dance.
The spiral goes on.
Crow sings.
Blessed Be.

To the powers of the Universe
To the connection of all that is
Spirit within and without
Flowing through all things
All moments in this time
In each time,
Each moment, a gift
I open like a many petaled flower
Blooming in the light of Spirit
Its scent wafting to the Heavens
Its roots cleansed in the Depths
My being illuminated
The light of Love radiates
As a thousand burning Stars
Encompassing my being
Flowing through me
As I am a vessel
In service to Spirit
and the Divine in all things.
Blessed be.
Poems by Kassia S. Morgan
Author's Note: This inspired poetry can also be used as part of a daily devotional or as a prayer to open to Spirit within and without and to the Divine that flows through all things. Namaste
This video is of the Chalice Well Gardens. We stayed at the Chalice Well House. We walked through Avalon, journeying through the pilgrimage up through the gardens, step by step, over each night with rituals and journeys. We walked the grounds that Dion Fortune walked in her day. This video starts filming at the bottom of the gardens, following our path of the week up through the gardens. See Chalice Well Gardens - 2 for the continued view to the top of the gardens.

Its stars and the heavens spin
Indigo eyes of galaxies
Whirring to my sight
I step into the middle
Here is stillness
I reach out, touch a star
If I might
Pull back my hand
In my palm,
Touched by light
A book,
Wisdom to lend
I look around
I see the stars
Each soul, starlight
Image of their light
Stories in the heavens
Touch it and see
In stillness
You will find it
With eyes awake
You will touch it.
And you will See.
Blessed be.
Heights of Heavens
The cry of Spirit,
Hear its call,
Depths of Soul
Heights of awakening,
Center of Heart,
Crown of Throne
Breath of Fire,
Burns my Throat
Cleansing, purifying, freeing
Knowledge lost, Wisdom gained
Breath, sweet Breath of Spirit
My parched Throat yearns for you
Beckons you,
yet no sound
Listen now,
breeze blows 'cross my Brow
Trickles down my eyes,
my face, my lips
Quenches my Throat
I speak again
But find, Silence.
I Hear.
I See.
I Listen.
Stillness. Peace.
One. I begin again.
Namaste.
