on this shortest day and longest night for northern hemispherians, i sit in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the darkness, holding my hand and heart as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2015… seeing through shero’s eyes, we realeyes what we experienced as disappointments, obstacles, challenges all carry a seed, a gift for us to unwrap,,, a present that delights and surprises pointing the way to be peace, love, joy and harmony…

To the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth

To the Falling Rain and the Fire in the Sky

I call on you in Deep Respect and with Great Gratitude. 

I call upon you to Support, Guide and Protect
all who receive this prayer. 

At this time of quiet and stillness

When the Light of the World is dim

And the Darkness around us deep

May we be still and listen for the silent sound of the
seed of Illumination

That lives, always, within our heart and soul and mind. 

May we seek now to awaken to more of the Light within. 

For in the dark even the dimmest light can be seen. 

In darkness, the faintest flicker of light 

Is enough to guide us and show us the way. 

May the inner light we now rekindle burn strong and bright. 

May it expand and grow throughout the coming year

And may we continue to see, feel, share and
shine our inner light 

Into the World

Even as the outer light returns. 

And so it is!
