Well here I am with a cup of coffee in hand and to tell you last past two weeks have been a hot mess wouldn't even be the half of it .  It just seems that my world has been shaked and turned up side down .  there is no place that i can go to get away from it so I must endure .

Work has been a mess because we have invintory on thursday boy is it a mess .

Home well all I well say is when it rain it poors

This has been a ture trial on my soul and  my soul hurts I feel like I have been hit by a car .

 

Well here I am with a cup of coffee and the day off And I have posted in a long time so here I am I wad sitting here think about the conversation that I had with my dear friend serenity the other day and I thought that it would make a good blog entry .

Well one of the topics of conversation was about Wiccan books, Authors, and subjuct matters

We are summing in wicca , magick 101 books there is only Handful of books for the advanced reader . I believe this is the reason that wiccan has become a gate way to other path it has not grown with the community it is the same information over and over again . Even in my path were there is even less information out we have two kinds of books The 101 and High magick there is no in between .

I telling you if I have to read how to cast a circle one more time my head well blow up . I do understand the need to recap but make it on chapter and move on . The authors are writing for the magick commuinty and need to evolve with it I believe that they Have lost touch with there readers and the information that they are looking for . We need books about the 2 and 3rd degrees for eample . I wamt to read a book put out by a high priestess or high priest about that role about there personal jounary in that role and how it has become a part of who they are and what they have learned from it and magickal infromation that is geared for that level.

We complane about people calling them selfs high priestess or high priest with out the infromation needed to full that role then I say the information needs to be brought forth so we have the information and understanding to full these imporant roles in our community .

Not everyone has the money or means to take classes or join a temple or coven but they do read Most of us have come to this path though books and we have learned path form books that why authors have not put out more a higher levels .

I would like here hear what other think about this so if you read this please comment .

A Visit From The Yule Spirits
'Twas that night before Yule, when all 'cross the heath,
Not a being was stirring; Pagan, Faerie, nor Beast,
Wassail was left out and the altar adorned,
To rejoice that the Sun King would soon be reborn.
The children lay sleeping by the warmth of the hearth,
Their dreams filled with visions of beloved Mother Earth,
M'lady and I beneath blankets piled deep, had just settled
down to our Solstice sleep.
Then a noise in the night that would leave us no peace,
Awakened us both to the honking of geese.
Eager to see such a boisterous flock,
When we raced to the window, our mouths dropped in shock!
On the West Wind flew a gaggle of geese, white and gray,
With Frau Holda behind them in Her gift-laiden dray.
The figure on Her broomstick to the North sky made it clear,
La Befana was approaching to bestow Yuletide cheer.
From the South came a comet more bright than the Moon,
And we knew Lucia would be with us soon.
As these Spirits sailed Earthward o'er hilltops and trees,
Frau Holda serenaded Her feathery steeds:
"Fly Isolde! Fly Tristan! Fly Odin and Freya! Fly Morgaine!
Fly Merlin! Fly Uranus and Gaea!
May the God and Goddess inside you soar,
From the clouds in the heavens to your cottage door."
As soft and silent as snowflakes they fell;
Their arrival announced by a faint chiming bell.
They landed like angels, their bodies aglow,
Their feet left no marks in the new fallen snow,
Before we could ponder what next lay in store,
There came a slow creeking from our threshold door.
We crept from our bedroom and were spellbound to see...
There in our parlor stood the Yule Trinity!
Lucia the Maiden, with Her head wreathed in flame,
Shown with the radiance for which she She was named,
The Lightbringers eyes held the joy of a child,
And she spoke with a voice that was gentle, yet wild:
"May the warmth of this household ne'er fade away."
Then she lit our Yule log which still burns to this day.
Frau Holda in Her down cloak stood regal and tall,
The Matron of Solstice, the Mother of all,
Under Her gaze we felt safe and secure.
Her voice was commanding, yet almost demure:
"May the love in this family enrich young and old."
And from the folds of Her cloak showered coins of pure gold,
LaBefana wore a kerchief on Her silvery hair;
The veil of the Crone who has secrets to share,
In Her eyes gleamed a wisdom only gained by spent youth.
Her voice was whisper, but Her words rung the truth:
"May health, glad tidings, and peace fill these rooms."
And she banished misfortune with a sweep of Her broom,
They then left a gift by each sleeping childs head,
Took a drink of our wassail, and away they all sped.
While we watched them fly off through the night sky we laughed,
At the wonderous magick we had found in the Craft.
As they departed, the Spirits decreed...

"Merry Yule To You All, And May All Blessed Be!"

Blessing your morning coffee
In the morning, when you make your coffee, this is a great chant to chant while making it! What you'll need: a brown or white candle, ideally a coffee scented one, a coffee perculator, some coffee beans and a coffee grinder.

Light the candle. While grinding the coffee beans, chant this first verse:

"Yummy yummy coffee bean,
Fill my mug with hot caffeine.
Coffee, coffee, quickly send
Hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate blend."

If you don't have a grinder, just chant that verse over it. While putting the grinds in the machine, chant:

"Sun is rising, Great God Ra,
Your falcon wings bring me java.
Goddess Bast, your rattle shakes the grains
Of morning brew running through my veins."

While putting your sugar and cream in your favourite mug (while the coffee is brewing) chant:

"Bit of cream instead of milk,
Turns my coffee into silk.
Allow me a taste of sugar,
Without it my coffee is vulgar."

As you're mixing your coffee, chant:

"Rising sun's gift, all this caffeine,
Kitchen's percolator, supreme machine.
So Below, As Above,
This cup of coffee, I do love."

Now enjoy your perfect cup of coffee!
