If You Knew......

If you knew that I'm a Witch,
Would you wish to burn me at the stake?
Or try to understand by having an open mind?

If you knew I prayed to the Ancient Ones,
Would you think I prayed to Satan?
Or would you realize that He has no place in my faith?

If you knew that I Draw Down the Moon,
Would you think that I had lost my mind?
Or would you care to watch an see the magick in what I do?

If you knew that I have a Book of Shadows,
Would you think it held deadly and evil things?
Or would you be willing to look within it's pages and see that no
evil lurks there?

If you knew that I believed in a God and Goddess,
Would you condemn me for believing so?
Or would you grant this right to me?

If you knew that I lived by: 'An it harm none, do what ye will.'
Would you tell me it could not be done?
Or would you feel in your heart it would be good for all mankind?

We all have choices in this lifetime,
The Path I walk, is the Path that I have chose, just as you have
chosen yours,
I am one with the spirits, an a gentle soul,
I honor the earth, and all that live upon it.
I have many names, Pagan, Wiccan, Witch,
But if you knew.......

Behold the Witch

Behold the Witch, as strong as any man.
Know the Witch, as she walks upon the land.
Respect the Witch, her powers to beguile.
Admire the Witch, her understanding smile.
Honour the Witch, as pure as Mothers love.
Applaud the Witch, as destiny she moves.
Acclaim the Witch, as the future she designs.
Envy the Witch, her patience over time.
Regard the Witch, her inspiration deep.
Commend the Witch, her family she keeps.
Approve the Witch, as standards she up holds.
Revere the Witch, her faith and will, extol.
Appreciate the Witch, as nature she praises.
Eulogize the Witch, as children she raises.
Venerate the Witch, for she keeps the ancient lores.
Become the Witch, and these values will be yours....

The Witch Alone
(by Scott Cunningham)

Beyond the town, beneath the moon
Beside the standing stone
There lives a woman, fair of faith
We call the witch alone

She sings to sun and moon and stars
And gathers herbs and weeds
With which she fashions ancient charms
And other magic deeds

She worships not at altars built
By hands of mortal men
But in the misty glade
Beyond the farthest glen

What need has she of flashing swords
Of crystals glowing bright
Of censors and of colored cords
That grace the Wiccan rite?
Her tools are fashioned from the earth
And wind and fire and rain
Her rites are dances wild and free
That call the gods amain

When spring and summer pass to fall
And twilight fills her eyes
She'll lie upon the browning grass
And smile as she dies

For though she leaves her mortal shell
Of flesh and blood and bone
She knows she does not die but lives
On, as the witch alone....

Blessing Of The Three
From: zanykat

The Sacred Three
My fortress be
Encircling me,
Come and be round
My hearth, my home.

Fend Thou my kin
And every sleeping thing within
From scathe, from sin.
Thy care our peace
Through mid of night
To light's release.

Caim

The Celtic Christians had a practice called the
'caim', in which they drew around them a circle....
this was a symbol of the encircling love of God.

A Caim Prayer

The Mighty Three
My protection be
Encircling me
You are around
My life, my home
Encircling me
O Sacred Three
The Mighty Three

Lorica

The early Celtic church had many 'breastplate
prayers', or 'lorica', which declared the
surrounding and encompassing of God. Such prayers
were not to make God come - He is already there -
but to open our eyes to the reality. In breastplate
prayers, the person who prays seeks to become aware
of what is already a reality.

An Old Wedding Blessing

May God be with you and bless you.
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May you have -
Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks bedside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire.

Blessing for a New Home

A blessing upon your new home,
A blessing upon your new hearth,
A blessing upon your new dwelling,
Upon your newly-kindled fire.

A blessing upon your tallest grass,
A blessing upon your fruitful partner,
A blessing upon your growing son/s,
Upon your growing daughter/s.

A blessing upon the household's helpers,
A blessing upon the children yet unborn,
A blessing upon the wise parents,
Upon your occupation.
A blessing upon your goods and income,
A blessing upon your kith and kin.
A blessing upon you in light or darkness,
Each day and night of your lives.

Blessing for the Children

O Thou, to whom to love and be are one,
hear my faith-cry for them who are more
thine than mine.
Give each of them what is best for each.
I cannot tell what it is.
But Thou knowest.
I only ask Thou love them and keep them
With the loving and keeping Thou didst
Show to Mary's Son and Thine.

[KaiAidan]

In Avalon,
Where dreams can come true,
Where friendship is everything,
For everyone, even you.

The three mages,
Adriane, Kara, and Emily,
Each have thier own destiny.

One will follow her heart,
One will see in darkness,
And one will change completely,
Where friendship is the most important thing,
Not money or jewelry.

IN AVALON

Kids are magic
Kids are neat
Kids know the Earth
Under their feet

Kids can see thing
Grown-ups miss
Kids hear the wind
Give the trees a kiss


Kids are magic
And kids are wise
They see special things
When they open their eyes


So look around
What do you see?
Is there a bird or a bug or a squirrel
Living in that tree?


Is there anyone living
Behind that rock?
Do you see any ants?
Or spiders, or moths?
Do you hear a bird?
Do you hear a cat?
Do you hear a dog, or mouse, or gnat?


Listen kids....and you will see
All the world is alive
Around you and me!

Witch?

Witch?
Yes, I'm a Witch. I've stood before
The Lord of Death and found him not unkind.
I've practiced well the sacred hidden lore
The words of power and the spells that bind
And loosen; culled from nature's trove
The herbs that heal - But most of all have I
Danced naked, free and proud beneath the sky
Unto the Goddess, She who shines above.

Witch?
Yes, I'm a Witch for I am free
From hope of Heaven and the fear of Hell.
No solemn vale of tears is this to me.
Earth is my cup of joy. I love her well.
Seek not to turn me from my destined fate.
Earth is enough for me, and if I burn
I shall not leave her but to earth return
To live again a Witch - Reincarnate.

For 'tis our promise and our firm belief
That She who loves us brings us back again
As seeds once buried rise again in leaf,
Stem, branch and blossom in the Summer rain.
And are we less than seeds? But should it be
That one life only was our meted span
And Power comes but once to any man
I’ll live it lusty, joyfully and free
And be a Witch!
