What would I be able to do, how could I survive?? I actually began to feel completely negative. I spent the full moon working and more working. The evening of course was spent in ritual. It was the first drawing down that I've done since the dedication ceremony. I felt completely filled with the energy of the Goddess.
I felt the warm energy surround my body and embrace me. I felt safe and happy. I felt at ease and calm as the warm waters from the ritual bath I took just before the ceremony. My skin scented lightly with patchouli and myrrh. I was at peace.
The next morning I got a message from a dear friend on Facebook. We've worked together on several pagan action's including the recent Hail Columbia project. Heather approached me with an idea for an anti-bullying ritual for those children that are being attack in our nation's schools. Working feverishly over the next few nights she put together this wonderful idea of holding a group circle over our network and joining together to send out a prayer of protection for these children.
I thought about her proposition and immediately could identify how my Goddess Hekate would certainly move to the foreground to protect children. I've read where Hekate teaches justice and fairness, especially of those who are different. I will spend the new moon this month sending out the light from my Goddess into the lives of these children, hoping to show them the path to happiness. The path to fulfillment and the path to justice.
I would love to be able to include my followers here and those that you can reach out to with your connections and create a web of inclusions, perhaps even a web of protection around these children. If you can please join us on our Facebook event, or privately add us to your new moon rituals.
I'm including Heather's poem and spell below. You can find them on our Facebook Event as well.
