Happy Earth Day

Earth Day Blessings sent Your way!

It’s the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. Today is a day to send gratitude for Mother Earth. To thank her for sheltering and protecting us, for sustaining us through air, water, and nutrients. For giving us life. And cradling us when we die. For allowing us to be part of the beautiful cycle of creation.

I found this prayer on the ADF website.

Giver of life, great Mother Earth, 
To each of the Kindred you gave birth:
Children of wisdom, cunning and skill;
Children of wing, leaf, paw and gill;
Children of sword, book, plow and drum;
God, Man and Spirit, from you we come.

Lady of river, grain, milk and sea,
Source of the land’s fertility: 
Provider of each herb, bush and tree;
Provider of each fish, cow and bee;
Provider of each gem, stone and ore;
With your bounty, we want for no more.

Queen of the Tribe, beauty pristine,
Adorned in blue, white, brown and green,
Chooser of leaders, wife of the king,
Chooser of heroes, their victory bring,
Chooser of price for those who defy,
On your good will we ever rely.

Giver of life, great Mother Earth, 
To each of the Kindred you gave birth,
Lady of river, grain, milk and sea,
Source of the land’s fertility,
We thank you for all the gifts that you give,
This beautiful world, on which we live.

By Rev. Kathleen Pezza

I hope you are able to get outside today, bask in the sun, hug a tree, plant your bare fet on the Earth, Sand, or Rock. Just breathe deep and give thanks. And send some healing to the Great Momma too!

Peace, Love, and Reiki Blessings, Sarah 🌳🌊🌤

Cernunnos, God of the Green

Cernunnos marker at grave site, Hill of Tara

Cernunnos

(Image above is thought to be Cernunnos on the standing stone, at the Hill of Tara, Ireland).

They walked for miles and miles across the gracious green land.

Bright was the sky and soft was this patch of earth.

Hills and mounds and long lengthy curves.

Around the bend, a statue standing tall.

Not knowing its true meaning, but those who have come before, can only guess.

This figure with its haunting eyes.

Staring back at you, as if it wants to reveal hidden secrets.

Only ones you would understand.

So many people pass him by.

Letting him go unnoticed over the ages.

But you are drawn to him.

Like a firefly to the light.

Your soul is being called to delve deep.

The mysteries of this sacred glen, are there ready to be revealed.

Only when the light in your soul calls forth.

Stand here in awe and amazement, of how the world has moved forward.

Yet it also has gone so far behind.

Sit here and take a moment of quiet contemplation.

Open your heart, and allow truths to be spring forth.

Allow yourself to truly feel.

Imagine this prescence standing the test of time.

As the stars swirl by.

As the land grows cold.

As the people live and eventually expire.

This being. This light. This stone. Druid. God. Wanderer. Messenger of Old.

He passes the torch.

Take in the power.

The knowledge.

The hope.

Walking the Druid Path

It’s been an on and off path of mine, to delve into the mysteries of the Druids. I have always felt a strong connection to nature, the Land, Sea, and Sky. I have walked through forests in Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, and Rhode Island, with the tallest trees covered in beautiful mosses or leaves. I have sat by the shore, allowing my toes to be kissed by the sand in all those places as well. Letting my worries be washed away by the sea. I have drifted off daydreaming, rose above in meditation, in trance, connecting with the sky above, the clouds drifting by, or the sparkling icy blue stars. But when walking among the green, green hills in Ireland. My spirit started to slowly be renewed. My calling back to the Celtic path, became so abundantly clear.

Walking through the labyrinth, holding a candle infused with Brighid’s healing energy. Walking miles at the ancient Hill of Tara, to be greeted on the way out, by Cernunnos. The energy of the old Gods was still present. Subdued but still alive.I knew it was time that this soul spark would be reignited. A slow flame that is growing brighter, as I fly away from this beautiful Ireland.

It’s time to come back to the path of old. To co-mingle the energies of what may seem old with new. For it really isn’t anything but one. One time, one space, one deep seated joy in my heart.

Hail to the old ways. Bridget, Bride, Brighid has strengthened the sacred flame in my soul. Cernunnos, Green Man, Pan has entangled me in the deep mysteries of the land once more.I am ready to allow my inner shaman to come forth. To blossom into the cosmic being, powerful yet humble, divine yet grounded. Blending the ways of the world, with spirit. Bringing forth my Dragon roar, and also speaking softly as a cool, winding stream.

As I leave this land, I take these evolving memories into a new dawn. A new life. Following the path back to the sacred well and all the cosmic knowledge it holds.
